Mahomes Injury Updates Thread

[Chiefspants]

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: Courtesy of KCChiefsFan88 -

X-Rays were negative, source said. That’s the good news. But it does appear to be a high-ankle sprain for Patrick Mahomes. https://t.co/nGJTkeg07h

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.

Mahomes might not be 100% but anybody that thinks they're going to trot him out there at 50% is reeruned.

He's going to play and he's going to play well. Stop being pussies.

Yup. Zero chance Andy risks him long term by playing Mahomes if he didn’t think Patrick could play and at a high level.

Seriously, what more needs to be said?

It's so manly to ignore facts and medical science. Stop being pussies, everyone.

It's not 'because Chiefs', it's because Wylie and Brown Jr. Absolutely no faith in those two bumble****s to not give up immediate pressures even on a 3 man rush and I have the feeling Reid won't either. Thus we'll probably be relegated to running a neutered offense like week 2 against the Chargers for precautionary reasons and I don't think it'll be enough to win.

What medical science? Are you a team trainer? Do you know EXACTLY what Mahomes' injury is and how severe?

Exactly. You don't know shit. You're just guessing like everybody else. But you're assuming the news is negative.

Yeah, it always goes back to Wylie and Brown. They're not good enough. We're only 15-3 and hosting the AFC Championship again.

Mahomes may absolutely be at 50%. Shit in terms of mobility probably even less. But hes a QB so even if his mobility was 90% less (like last game) he can still make due and AS A QB would be a much higher number like 85%.

I think having a week to learn to throw with the injury is huge. He will know what he can and cant do. How he can make certain throws with lack of the back leg.

Have no fear.

They're a massive part of the reason why we're 0-3 against the Bengals in 2022

I'm assuming he has a mild high ankle sprain, and that Mahomes and the training staff will do everything they can to make the best of it.

I hope the line goes higher to the Bengals

So let's roll over and forfeit. We've got no chance.

**** the negativity. You guys do you. Spend the week worrying and being miserable.

The Chiefs are going to win. Get over it.

[AdolfOliverBush]

I'd bet money that Mahomes is more mobile at this moment than Peyton Manning was in his prime.

I'm not worrying or miserable at all. Silver lining if we lose we're far more likely to tell OBJ to **** off.

Last year's AFCCG is primarily on Reid and Mahomes, who apparently suffered synchronized strokes at halftime.

This season's loss is primarily on Butker and Kelce.

When I used to bet on sports, one of the best rules was to bet against the Big 10 teams because their fans would always overbet their teams and move the lines in your favor. In this case, it’s a bunch of oSU fans driving the number in our betting favor.
