Mahomes Injury Updates Thread

Figured it would be more ideal to give this its own thread than the Jaguars gamethread.

Unspoiler to see the first two updates

Spoiler!

UPDATE 3: Courtesy of King - High Ankle Sprain Confirmed

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">MRI today confirmed that Chiefs’ QB Patrick Mahomes suffered a high ankle sprain during Saturday’s win over the Jaguars, per league source. “Nothing more than that,” said one source, and Mahomes has said he plans to play in next Sunday’s AFC Championship Game.</p>— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) <a href="https://twitter.com/AdamSchefter/status/1617211308071424002?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 22, 2023</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

UPDATE 4: Got asked to add this report from Arrowhead Pride to the OP: https://www.arrowheadpride.com/2023/...chiefs-presser

Went to the locker room x rays taken . I imagine we’re just waiting on the results ????

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">X-Rays were negative, source said. That’s the good news. But it does appear to be a high-ankle sprain for Patrick Mahomes. <a href="https://t.co/nGJTkeg07h">https://t.co/nGJTkeg07h</a></p>— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) <a href="https://twitter.com/RapSheet/status/1616932257138356224?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 21, 2023</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

THANK YOU JESUS

We can live with that

Here he comes !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

High ankle sprains ****ing suck. I wish I could donate my leg health to him.

This is bad news. Its a high ankle sprain. Mahomes was ONLY dealing because he was using his quickness and athleticism avoiding the pass rush manipulating angles and even had a jump pass. Jags have been blowing us up so far when Mahomes was in. Hes going to be a sitting duck now if he does play. Have to do alot of short passes and run more often.

Honestly that's probably how this offense should operate all the time. Your LT & RT are not good at dealing with a strong pass rush. Get the ball out quickly with short passes, or simply run the ball.

So can they just pump it full of Cortisone?

Glad it's negative but high ankle sprain usually 4-6 weeks... Gonna go cry.

Plain images are great for bony abnormalities. They aren’t going to show any soft tissue injury other than the usual swelling. (Ligamentous or cartilaginous)
