He's practicing ROFL

Why?

If he has had multiple opinions on his knee and medical staff has concluded that there is positively no damage, no inflammation and no swelling, as well as no greater risk to injuring the knee than there was before, why wouldn't he play if he feels fit to go?

At this point, I'm honestly more concerned about his ankle being 100% healthy than his knee. I'd rather him sit if it's still at the point where any tweak will cause regression.

Sit him till after the bye..ROFLROFL

100% agree...

Pat is le epic win awesome sauce FTW!!!

It's not about 100% and no one believes thats at all realistic to hit 100%. The flip side is that we've also had a history of putting Justin Houston and Hali out before they were ready. That includes Houston and Hali playing with practically without arms for the 2013 playoffs. And Houston reinjuring his leg because we brought him back too soon. There's 2 sides to that coin and I don't think anyone isn't supportive of him playing sooner rather than later.

Everyone SFC..

Is this some sort of dance?

The Schottenheimer Polka!!!

is this what girls feel like when they watch the bachelorette?

SFC... Stay ****ing Calm..

Yes, it is in response to another posters misguided playoff scenario earlier in this thread. Should have put a (sarcasm) qualifier by it, I guess.

There is a better chance that Chester McGlockton's back heals and plays against GB than Mahomes does.

Now that is a name I haven't heard in ages. Good ole Chester what a bust he was!

You know something we don't?

He just jumped offsides again..

Remember PIG

PAT
IS
GOD

You obviously missed my whole point, I said close to 100% which if he was 85-90% and his medical team (NOT the Team doctors) clears him then he should play.

In regards to RG3, he hurt his knee in Week 14 and the team doctors said he was ok so he kept playing with only missing 1 game. Then in the WC playoff game he ruined his career by playing when he shouldn't have which is what I said. Most players want to play even if they are hurt and some times it isn't in their best interest to.

I think he's gonna need more than that.

Probably best to sit Clark until week 12, we cant risk reinjury before the playoffs.

He continued to play in the game he got hurt in, and he had a freaking TORN LCL.

Mahomes has NO ligament damage.

They let RG3 play with a torn or at least patrially torn LCL... they horribly mismanaged his injury. Patrick Mahomes does NOT have any torn or partially torn ligaments...

Mahomes will literally need to be blasted on the side of the knee with his foot planted in the turf and the knee bent for this to happen again.

it ain't happening

but TDs are

this needs to be a league conspiracy where mahomes gets 10 seconds in the pocket and never gets hit so he racks up 600 yards and 7 TD in a shootout for the greatest QB matchup EVER

Idk about you but he looks pretty good there. Obviously a little bit of a limp but he has 4 more days to get ready. Rehab and everything for next few days and anything is possible

He looks to be moving pretty good, from everything I have heard though they should probably rest him at least a game let any swelling and anything go down. If somehow its normal by Sunday Night play him but doubt it.

SFC PIG..

It's the full Four Horsemen out there: Mahomes, Moore, Henne, and Shurmur.

He's not playing this week dudes. Minny though...

i think you're wrong

we all know deep down in our plums

mahomes is playing

Snaps for everybody!!!

You get a touchdown pass. You get a touchdown pass. You get a touchdown pass.

And Henne ... you get to massage Mahomes' cankles.

FAX

Knock knock

Who’s there?

Knee

Knee who?

Patrick don’t knee’d days off

Not sure why some are so convinced he’s not playing. He’s been playing on an ankle strain that could very well rival this strain for severity all season. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if he did.

I don’t like the way he’s moving around. Needs a few more weeks of rest.

look at how he grabbed his right leg when he was stretching it out at the end

dude isn't concerned about his knee at ALL

the only reason he's moving weird there is because they probably put a very heavy brace on it to begin with

i'm gonna guess we get reports of him throwing, but you see NO footage of it, because they don't want the packers to know how well he is actually throwing the ball...and i bet he's firing ****ing darts by friday

Jesus Christ, if he plays my butt is going to be puckered so tight you couldn't pull a needle out of it with a tractor.

you are gonna see them pull out that same gameplan against the donkeys

mahomes gonna go full alex

Yep one of the Chiefs reporters said they weren’t allowed to film throws for whatever reason. Also you can tell in the sweats that he’s wearing a brace. If you for sure know you’re out you wouldn’t be wearing a brace let alone practicing. He has the brace on cuz there is a legit shot of him playing this Sunday and he wants to get a feel for it.

I’ll be leaving hickies on the couch!

All I can tell is he is wearing a huge brace and he is pissed off about it.

Come on Andy.

I’m headed to Vegas. Had seats in the Lagassee stadium for the game. Then Pat got hurt and didn’t want to drop 125 a head on what could be a shitty game. Instead get tix to The Bud Beer Park for the early games at 75 a head. Now I’m having second thoughts....

I think he needs to sit one week and then let it fly.

How come every reporter says Mahomes is out except the own head coach?

he's playing

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Looks GREAT for 6 days after patella dislocation. However not looking like someone who could play this week.

Clay how confident are you that he will play?

80%

Tomorrow’s practice videos showing him cutting on his knee are gonna result in a meltdown.

He's not playing jfc

Normally I’d be just as dismissive as you’re being, but I’m not putting anything past Patrick ****ing Mahomes

You’re almost certainly right that he won’t play, but if he does, I won’t be shocked in the slightest

Whitlock says you play Mahomes! We can’t lose this game. Said we should just throw quick passes and run the ball

Patrick Mahomes makes me maHORNY!!!!

Jason has ulterior motives.

Yep he's disingenuous with his opinions and baits his audience with " hot takes"

All the guessing ensures a very large national audience. At least for the opening of the game, inquiring minds and all. Coach not ruling him out is very good for TV ratings.

I think he is playing.

HE IS PLAYING

Wow. That was interesting to hear a former player talking about that. I'm beginning to lean towards the affirmative regarding him playing on Sunday...

No he isn’t. JFC.

It’d be one thing if he didn’t also have a lingering ankle issue, but he does.

There’s a reason Moore is getting the practice reps.

Carter basically just told you that if he plays through this he is going to have long term issues.... but that’s the right call? Lol?

Fixed.

Exactly.

You are a dumbass.

He’s a moron.

so is mahomes

and he will play

and we will win

and you will bow at the altar of mahomes

this is how legends are born

Wow. I just hope if that's the case that he doesn't reinjure it.

He really is. The Chiefs absolutely can afford to lose this game, especially if the Texans beat the Raiders. Regardless, I wouldn't chance it and I'd start Moore, and see what happens. Chiefs may just surprise...

I know it's Matt Moore but it's also Andy Reid. Andy will show everyone how good of a coach he is by surprising everyone with a great showing. He is a backup qb whisperer. Let's just be happy mahomes looks way ahead of schedule.

610 just reported that multiple doctors across the country that have nothing to do with the NFL or the Chiefs cleared Mahomes to practice yesterday.

ROFL

He’s going to play, it has nothing to do with needing to win GB game. It has everything to do with Mahomes. Think about his role model Farve. What would Farve do?

His injury was a freak accident, he avoided anymore damage. If he sits 3 weeks and then come back in and gets a injury what’s the difference.

I get we want to protect him, we want to protect him from himself. But I don’t think we should be so quick to get in front of Mahomes greatness.

If Mahomes wants to play let him, game plan to protect him, but stay out of his way. Let him write his own career narrative.

He wants to be remembered as a tough SOB, so get out of the way of greatness

Favre also ended up with a huge addiction to painkillers. I have no interest in mahomes walking around like big Ben limping all over the place. We spent the first few years coaching him to slide and throw the ball away. He doesn't have to prove anything to anybody. They know he's tough and his teammates know how badly he wants to go on the field. We don't need Reid and mahomes begging the training staff to let him play. This decision should 100% be driven on when the training staff believes is a reasonable timeline. We should be thankful that Minnesota may actually be realistic. No need to push anything aggressive.

What you seem to be missing is doctors and training staff already cleared him. He wouldn’t be on the field practicing if he wasnt

I think he plays, I also don’t think he should. The big part missing with your post is that clearing him to practice and clearing him for contact are two very different things.

I'm sure that's in the job description for those sports talk shows on TV. They all try to out "hot take" each other.

Hasn't he already done this twice? Lost his starting QB. Had 10 days to get the backup ready and the QB performed well?

I agree,

But the fact he was out there on Wed and not Friday testing things lead me to believe he is going to play.

I'm of the opinion that there was LIMITED swelling, and if you don't see inflammation your chances of re-injuring are limited.

This is not RG3 or Kevin Durant.

How do you know his ankle is still bugging him? IF he plays Sunday it will have had basically 2 weeks of healing minus the couple series he played Thursday night.
