According to NBC Sports and NFL Network, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is regarded as week-to-week after suffering a high ankle sprain on Sunday.
Carson Wentz took Mahomes’ position after the Chiefs defeated the Cleveland Browns 21–7 in the fourth quarter. When the game was over, he was clearly limping off the field.
Patrick, he has a sore right ankle. After the game, Kansas City coach Andy Reid stated, “It’s sore, but it’s not broken.” As we proceed, he will begin the rehabilitation portion, and we will simply need to observe his progress. It will be day-to-day, literally. Most likely, he may have returned inside. He desired to return inside. That wasn’t necessary.
Mahomes later stated that he thought it would have been wise to let Wentz finish even if he could have gone back into the game.
To 13-1, the Chiefs made progress. They will play two games in the next ten days, but they are now two games ahead of the Buffalo Bills for the top spot in the AFC.
Kansas City’s next games are against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Christmas Day and the Houston Texans on Saturday.
Mahomes has previously persevered through a high ankle sprain. He suffered the injury while playing the Jacksonville Jaguars in the divisional round of the playoffs in January 2023. After missing a quarter of that game, he came back to play the rest of the playoffs, helping the Chiefs win the Super Bowl.
Mahomes completed 19 of 38 passes for 159 yards and two touchdowns at the end of Sunday’s game. This season, he has thrown for 3,348 yards, 22 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions.
