Mahomes injury isn't as serious as same one suffered in 2019

And Mahomes went scorched Earth on the Fade the next week.

Huge update.

Dude is freaking unreal.

What injury is he referring to in 2019?

Better than bad does not equal good.

But... hey.

Mahomes missed games, multiple, actually.

High ankle sprain he suffered in week one. It got aggravated IIRC by Cam Erving being completely ****ing worthless and stepping on it.

That was the dislocated kneecap. Reid is talking about the ankle sprain he had against Jacksonville week one.

Patella dislocation

Wrong.

You’re thinking of the dislocated kneecap.

Andy is referring to when he got his ankle rolled up on against Jacksonville in week 1.

And I believe Cam Erving stepped on him at some point during the Colts game and reaggravated it.

That was after his kneecap got nocked sideways.

Oh!

WOW. Really?

He played super well that year, managing that injury.

Talking about dodging a bullet.

He didn't miss any games....

You somehow edited that same time I was quoting your turf toe comment.

Ok ok ok I remember. The only injury I could remember was when he ****ed up his kneecap. I couldn't remember when that happened for sure.

Yeah he did. Vikings and Packers game, but it was because of the kneecap.

This is about the best update we could’ve conceivably gotten, although you’ve gotta discount it on some level.

Mahomes will be fine. I guarantee they will give him a toradol shot and he won’t feel a ****ing thing

Yeah, I'll take it. In need of some optimism!

So it's the best update but you have to discredit it?

So you're saying the Patrick Price!?

Wonder if this being his right ankle will make a difference?

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Correct, that was Patrick Mahomes&#39; left ankle. <a href="https://t.co/TqysqZdHcQ">https://t.co/TqysqZdHcQ</a></p>&mdash; Nate Taylor (@ByNateTaylor) <a href="https://twitter.com/ByNateTaylor/status/1617592746734399489?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 23, 2023</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

This. Shoot him up, send him out.

To discount is not to discredit. But you can either take Reid at his word or you can imagine Reid would never disclose the true extent of the real injury.

I’d say it’s better than the alternative where Reid acknowledges that there’s been some swelling over the past day or so and they’re playing it day-by-day.

Yes that's right. In such spectacular fashion only a imbecile like Cam could muster.

Right ankle is a little bit different than left ankle but still pretty good news.

I would think it's better that it happened on the right ankle because he needs his left foot to set up the throw. The pressure is planted on the left foot when he attempts a throw.

One more thing, Mahomes playing within the pocket might be a blessing. He has shown that he can be deadly when throwing from within the pocket.

You drive off the back foot. It will affect him. How much is the question.

They will have to find the best tape job for him. Tight enough to prevent as much separation of the tibia and fibula when planting that foot while also enough flexion to allow him to run.

Very manageable injury for a QB that is not a run first QB. All about pain management and pain tolerance.

If he played any other position it would be doubtful he would be playing.

Not sure about that. He was struggling to get any velocity on the ball after the injury on Saturday. I don’t remember the same velocity issue with his left ankle in 2019. I think that right ankle is pretty important to help him drive the ball around the field with proper NFL level velocity.

I would say to shoot him up with horse cocaine but I have a sneaking suspicion his body is already producing it naturally.

Do you even throw, bro?

They aren't going to make him sound healthier than he really is, its the exact opposite I think. So this is very very good news IMO.

Taking anti-inflammatories work well but they are hell with your stomach. They will probably have him popping those all week while they ice and treat it.

He was shitty, but it was another shitty OL that did it. Andrew Wiley stepped on him lol.

No, it was Erving.

This is the NFL, they aren't going to mega dose him with ibuprofen, they got the good shit.

You heal faster by not taking that shit.

Please let him rip the Bengals apart Sunday! Great news thanks for sharing.

While this is all fine and good, this is the other ankle. You would rather it be the other one but we can likely surmise this is definitely not a grade 3 and probably not a grade 2 high ankle sprain.

Mahomes is so tough.

I'm of the belief (I'm going to be killed for this) that we need to come out with a running game plan.

I think we can run the ball down their throats, and we need to to kill their pass rush.

It’s hard to say. He ran around 500 yards in the Super Bowl on a toe that needed surgery. Like you said, he’s pretty damn tough.

I did find it concerning that he was struggling to put velocity on the ball Saturday. If that’s still a major issue in the next game, it puts him and the team in a tough spot. You cannot expect to beat a great team like Cincy if your QB is lobbing weak high school throws around the field. Begging for trouble there.

The word is "bendy" or "stretchy" or "indestructible" ROFL

Agree 100%. Even if Mahomes can be his normal self we should push the run game as much as possible.

Later in the game if needed then switch to what everyone expects KC to be.

Rocky vs Apollo II

I do love the talking heads like Sharpe who want to talk about how tough the ankle sprains they suffered were and how they know how hard it will be to play.

Like you don’t think medical research has advanced at all in how to treat these things since you played in the 90s?

You aren’t going to be killed because that’s what we should have done last year but Andy was too stubborn to take what Cincy was begging him to.

"The Kansas City Chiefs came out of Sunday night’s game against the Indianapolis Colts with not only their first loss of the season but also with a number of injuries to key players, most notably quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who said he “reaggravated” an ankle injury in the first half and then saw it further injured in the second half when offensive lineman Andrew Wylie stepped on it."

Edit

https://arrowheadaddict.com/2019/10/...le-colts-loss/

"When backed up against his own end zone in the second half of the team’s most recent loss to the Indianapolis Colts, left tackle Cam Erving was backed into Mahomes and stepped on his foot, re-injuring the ankle that had already been so tender. Suddenly Mahomes was seen limping toward the sidelines, worse than ever before."

Players in all sports routinely miss multiple weeks with high ankle sprain. If he was playing any other position other than QB he would be out.

For example CEH has been out what 6 weeks? (not that I care btw)

I had a high ankle sprain once from tripping over my erect penis. Thankfully I was able to continue posting on www.chiefsplanet.com 6 hours later.

this was trending towards "not severe" the whole time

no boot postgame

woke up with his ankle feeling much better

today andy says it's less severe than a mild sprain from week one against JAX

NEXT UP: A MOTHER****ING FP

WE'RE GOING TO THE SUPER BOWL!!!!

Damn, same thing happened to me but it was my flaccid 4 foot penis that I tripped over from it dragging the ground...ROFL

He's absolutely registering at least one FP this week.

The guy is a competitive psychopath.

WTF is a FP

I believe he injured that ankle again the next week against the Texans. Then the next week he had his kneecap episode in Denver. That actually helped his ankle finally heal.

Full Participant in practice

Could also mean Floppy Penis

Oh, thanks. This is what I have.

prick

the word is prick

fucked Pussy.

A bum ankle will not stop Pat from taking Brittany to pound town.

On the field...at the 50...during Post-Superbowl celebration

Yep, was against the Jags also. I was there.

No argument here. Our O-line is built to punch people in the mouth. Do it. I guarantee you the Bungles will get sick of Pacheco really fast.

This is fantastic news.

Except when it's 3rd and inches.

The 2019 Jax game was the one no one saw the end of b/c an electrical fire blew out CBS' feed of the game.

The Bengals have a really stout pair of DTs against the run. Running against them is very hard.

They're good everywhere.

The Chiefs have a cheat code to all of this, though, and that's Mahomes if he's healthy. But the Bengals shut that down by confusing him in coverage. They also shut him down by having Hendrickson take Orlando Brown to school.

Mahomes is going to solve the scheme, because he's brilliant.

If Orlando Brown can keep Hendrickson off Mahomes, then Mahomes at even 80% is enough to win this game.

I just... have my concerns that OBJ is up for that challenge.

May have to keep McKinnon in for extra protection.

The Bengals were 29th in the league in sacks this year.

Maybe. Two issues:

1. The Bengals will likely not send a single blitz in the second half. If I watched the last three games I don't think they blitzed Mahomes once in the second half. So McKinnon is more helpful leaking out.

2. The Chiefs never, ever help OBJ.

I don't read into that.

I ask myself, am I cool with Hubbard/Hendrickson against Wylie/Brown.

The Chiefs should help Wylie. They should. But they don't always do that when they should (see: Super Bowl LV). But they won't help Brown.

Filter evasion somehow in your post but not when it's quoted

Bengals blitzed Josh alot yesterday and Reid is expecting the same because of Mahomes injury.

Blitzing Mahomes is the last thing they should do, in my opinion.

Mahomes has elite checkdowns in McKinnon/Kelce/JuJu. He can read everything, see everything, and even if he's hobbled, he's smarter than everyone on the field.

He can't escape pressure as well right now. So, drop everyone, give Hendrickson/Hubbard time to beat the tackles and go get him. Mahomes likely can't beat you with his legs this week.

The 'gals have been able to generate quite a bit of pressure against the Chiefs the last 3 games we've played them with just their 4 man front. I don't see them changing that. If they do, advantage Mahomes, IMO

just got a message from a very well-placed source that made me feel incredibly good about patrick

mahomes is going to ball out sunday
