Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes exited the game against the Cleveland Browns in Week 15 after suffering an ankle injury. The injury occurred when Mahomes was tackled awkwardly on a jumping pass attempt, causing him to limp off the field with assistance from an offensive lineman and a trainer.
The incident happened late in the game, and Mahomes was initially listed as “questionable” to return. However, he did not return to the game, and Carson Wentz took over at quarterback. Despite the cautionary approach, Mahomes appeared to be in no apparent pain on the sidelines.
After the game, Mahomes was seen walking around, but he later left the locker room on a cart. Head coach Andy Reid provided an update on Mahomes’ condition, stating that his ankle is not broken but rather sore. The initial diagnosis suggests that Mahomes is dealing with a high-ankle sprain, and he is considered week-to-week.
The injury is a significant concern for the Chiefs, given Mahomes’ importance to the team. However, the fact that he did not suffer a more severe injury is a relief. Mahomes has been taking big hits all game, and it’s not surprising that he eventually suffered an injury.
The Chiefs’ victory over the Browns was secured with Wentz at the helm, and the team will be hoping that Mahomes can make a speedy recovery. With the playoffs approaching, Mahomes’ health will be crucial to the Chiefs’ chances of success.
As the week progresses, more updates on Mahomes’ condition are expected. For now, the Chiefs and their fans will be holding their breath, hoping that their star quarterback can recover in time for the playoffs.
