Mahomes to undergo surgery - Rapoport
 

Source: #Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes will undergo surgery tomorrow to repair a torn plantar plate in his foot, also known as turf toe. The rehab will be several months, but he’s expected to make a full recovery. Noted foot specialist Dr. Robert Anderson will perform the procedure.

TLDR

I didn’t even know he was transitioning.

Mahomes is the greatest ever

**** brady, **** the refs

Get well Mahomie! get that foot fixed so you can use it to keep kicking everyones ass

We what to make sure his little piggy goes to market and back to the Super Bowl..

He deserves a nice long rest.

I bet he was in some SERIOUS pain when he woke up Monday morning.

Ouch. Get well Mahomes!

Get this man a OL he’s earned....goddamnit!

Mahomes got solved by Tampa Bay. DCs all across the NFL have taken note.

"WE GOT HIM BOYS!!!

All we have to do is assemble the best front four in the league! Then we just need his entire offensive line to be injured so he's playing with practice squad players!

It was a heck of a run but Mahomes is history!!"

LMAO

In his post game presser, you could see he had some baggy eyes and just looked really tired. I'm sure the pain from the foot and the week of Super Bowl BS and interviews and Covid and Britt Reid and his wife being major preggo all weighed on him. Hope he comes back fully healthy, a new daddy and ready to do this again.

Deal is there are many things that go under the turf toe umbrella, so it's treated differently... Mine also involved a tear in the plantar plate, located at the ball joint right before my big toe. When it's there, your whole toe hurts pretty much all the time. Happens when your foot is planted and you go another way. I had the same operation 10 years ago. Took about 3.5 months to fully heal. Toe feels great now. No soreness ever, or loss of motion. It's like night and day better than how it felt before the surgery. For those that have ever dealt with this kind of turf toe, the pain can be excruciating. I honestly don't know how he managed to play on it.

Yeah, the solution is to have 80% of the offensive line missing.

Don’t forget the refs spot the opposition 14 points or whatever it was

These are the same morons that unironically think that the Chiefs would've won if Brady and Mahomes switched teams on Sunday.

It's astonishing how much of that take i've seen out there.

Sure, if we remove all his OL and the other team has JPP, Barrett, Suh, Vea, and Lavonte David you can rush 4 and play back in zone.

ROFL

Don't feed the trolls.

This is SOOOOOO MUCH the case. It's not some HUGE mystery.

Don’t forget our players dropping passes hitting them in the hands, and face mask.

Well I'm not the kind to live in the past
The years run too short and the days too fast
The things you lean on are the things that don't last
Well it's just now and then my line gets cast into these
Time sausages
There's something back here that you left behind
Oh time sausages
Buy me a ticket on the last train home tonight

Seriously. Even if we needed LB or corners or WR more, you saw what a bad O line did to Luck. If they had drafted O line instead of whatever they picked their franchise QB would still be playing. Mahomes is having surgery! Get some fat guys!

Mahomes stats against a cover 2 are pretty decent.

Doesn’t matter what defense you run if the 5 guys up front can’t block 4 defensive linemen.

I had turf toe and didn't need surgery...guess I'm tougher than Pat.

Actually, mine hurt like ****ing hell for at least a week or more and I could barely walk for a couple weeks. After a month, I was still pretty sore.

Most NFL players get it and they're out for 2-4 weeks but don't need surgery. He played though it but did need surgery. Must have been something kind of unusual.

Seems like he’ll be out for the majority of the off season. Hard to imagine we bring in new WRs with no starting QB to build chemistry with.

You are an idiot. He didn't get solved. The game plan was awful with the OL in shambles. The coaches messed up.

Oh shit!! Now there’s all that game tape on him.. We’re ****ed..4321

Tom Brady would still be in traction now if that happened

It's really a shame we couldn't see those two go at it in a fair fight.

The whole football world deserved that game.

Yes hope and pray that Mahomes is forced to play behind his 10th string offensive line with a flaming dumpster fire at right tackle.

Brady would have been in ICU by halftime in a coma. :doh!:

Like any other ligament issue, it could be a tear rather than a strain. I've strained that ligament and it hurts like hell for about a month. If he tore his, surgery would be necessary, though.

Probably most of the offseason before training camp will be virtual again so he won’t miss much other than those non-team affiliated workouts organized by the players (which the NFL/NFLPA banned for most of last offseason as well).

“Turf toe sounds harmless right? What’s the big deal? But for many professional athletes, turf toe has been a career ender. Remember PrimeTime Deion Sanders? Maybe the greatest cornerback to have ever played football. It was 1998 and the Dallas Cowboys were dominant in the first half of the season, especially Deion Sanders. Jerry Jones, the Cowboys owner, picks up the phone and calls Deion’s agent to negotiate a price that will make Deion Sanders a Cowboy for life. As the story goes, both sides quickly settled on a $20M signing bonus. Jerry wanted to pay a $9M salary, but Deion wanted $10M per year. Jerry wouldn’t acquiesce, so Deion chose to play out the rest of the season without signing the contract in expectation of a larger free-agent contract at the end of next season. But then, in the heat of the Arizona sun while playing the Cardinals, Deion suffered THE injury, Turf Toe. The injury caused him to miss most of the current season and restricted him from ever returning to the player he was, and after the end of the following season, Jerry Jones and the Cowboys released Deion Sanders. PrimeTime was officially over.“

His was a tear. It usually requires surgery. I tore the same thing, (plantar plate) located at the ball joint right before my big toe. Had surgery and took about 3.5 months to fully recover. Was VERY painful before I got it fixed. No issues afterwards. This was 10 years or so ago.

Yea turf toe is going to end Pat’s career at the age of 25.

Sounds like we should trade for Deshaun just in case.

Yea they’re not going to add any WR’s because Mahomes is having offseason surgery. That makes a ton of sense!

Jokes aside, Pat is going to get seriously hurt if we don’t protect him properly. That triple hit on him was sickening.

Watkins said he wants to come back. Veach said, if they can figure something they’ll love to have him back. Don’t expect much change @ WR.

Maybe Robinson will be gone and we sign cheap veteran like Fitz or Green

His 3 worst injuries - the toe, the knee, and the blackout - were all because he was being used in the running game. Nothing to do with protection at all.

Not saying we shouldn't invest in better protection but that's only part of the battle.

Watkins should be gone today.

And just because they're talking like that doesn't mean they won't do anything.

Lol so Veach says some typical GM speak bs and we aren’t going to add a WR at all now?

JFC you’re an idiot.

Even if they were to keep Sammy, they still will draft a WR. This team is going to be drafting a WR every other year at the very least, as they should.

I thought he injured his toe on this play:

He good

Yeah, you're right.

Still, better protection doesn't completely solve the problem.

The Packers have consistently drafted OL to protect Aaron Rodgers and he still missed almost 2 entire seasons in the last 8.

Man, SOMEONE'S gotta keep you honest here

True! LMAO

Get Well Soon!

Signed, Scott

Mahomes just landed here in Green Bay to have his surgery tomorrow.

I feel amazing just knowing I am currently in the same city as him.

Turf toe is no joke. :(

Foot injuries have ruined many careers.

iirc Turf Toe ended Deon Sanders' career.

I will offer my toe if needed

They should give him the MVP while he's there.

Yea at the end of his career.

Mahomes is 25, it’s not 25+ years ago, and he plays QB not corner.

I can’t believe you idiots think turf toe might ruin Pat’s career.

Actually, I can believe you do, but not the others.

He had a more severe turf toe injury.

Pat ran 500 yards and wasn’t limping.

Just because Watkins wants to come back and they're gonna talk, doesn't mean he'll be back. Could go something like this...

Watkins: I 'd love to be a Chief. Winning Championships is worth more to me than $$$

Veach: **** OFF BROKE DICK. Vet MIN or hit the road!

Watkins: WTF?

Veach: THAT'S THE F**K!

Veach: Chiefs Kingdom, We tried, but were unable to work something out with Sammy Watkins. Both parties mutually agreed to part ways. We are thankful for Sammy's contributions to the team, and wish him well in the future.

Veach to Watkins: PUT. THAT COFFEE. DOWN. Coffee's for closers only.

Exactly! You get Kool-Aid.

Yeah, somebody already said this.

his toe was hurt on a drop back...not a running play

**** ‘em. It’s not our jobs to fix the ignorant takes. Let them think what they want. We’ll just get healthy, and collect the trophies.

Just shut the **** up. You run around calling everybody an idiot in every thread. You can't just talk about stuff you have to be a jerk about it.

I never said Mahomes career was over. I was just worrying because Turf Toe injuries can be severe and linger such a long time.

Don't be such a dick.

We did, week 12

It scared the poop out of me when I heard Wylie, who isn't very good at guard, was sliding over to play right tackle. It turned out even worse than I thought it would. I figured Reid would have some kind of plan to cover that up. I was disappointed to see that he didn't.

He was bent forwards, backwards and sideways on that one. I thought for a moment he was concussed. He looked shaken up :spock:

I was already corrected on this.

But the point still stands. It's not JUST the protection. Guys still get hurt.

The Packers have built a line in front of Rodgers the whole time he's been there and he's had 2 season-ending injuries in the last 8 years.

Sometimes, it just happens.

Andy's head wasn't in the game.

Any word on how the surgery went?

The knife slipped and his toe came off. Thankfully, they replaced it with a bionic one, which Mahomes is going to shove up every team's ass next season.

Yeah.. With how this week is going the Chiefs need to be on top of this and put out a press release before the end of the day..

I'm waiting for word that Lenny died some time this week. :(

Turf toe in 2021 isn't exactly the same career ender as it was in 1998. Remember when Tommy John surgery was an instant career killer for MLB pitchers 20-30 years ago?

You can only “cover up” so much when it comes to injuries/a complete lack of talent across five spots. There’s just not enough scheming in the world. A more feasible argument is leaving the right side alone, and inserting Rankin or Witzmann in at LT...but that’s never been KC’s strategy along the OL, and probably wouldn’t have mattered with how talented and deep Tampa’s DL was/is.

Exactly.

Was just listening to Tim Gunhard and Frank Boals show a little while ago and Tims sources said that Patrick tore his toe ligament off the bone during the SB..

Holy Shit!! If this is true...This kid is wrecking himself for this team.. We better fix the oline for his sake...

Lol nah, I'm sure there'll be no lasting repercussions to his career. A ****ed up ankle, a dislocated kneecap, a bad bout with turf toe, none of that will affect his mobility in the future whatsoever.

JFC man you seriously need to get a grip.

Your vagina has been bleeding for days now.

None of those injuries are remotely serious.

I don't think I will. This OL gives me the same vibes as the 2018 defense. Disastrous enough to cost us another title opportunity if we let it.

Lol ok just give up and stop posting then you ****ing pussy.

Grunhard said the same thing on Sirius XM NFL Radio today with Todd Haley.
