Lets get this information available here. I'll update the OP with the current info.
Posted on ESPN and talked about live on ESPN......
Wednesday am
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes remains in the NFL's concussion protocol, and it's too early to say that he definitely will play in Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Buffalo Bills, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Mahomes cleared certain steps Monday, "some big steps," sources told Schefter, but the reigning Super Bowl MVP still must go through other steps to clear the concussion protocol in the coming days. There is hope and optimism, considering he is expected to practice Wednesday, a source told Schefter.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Practices this time of year are basically for mental reps, anyway. More like glorified walkthroughs. So Mahomes won’t miss much, either way. https://t.co/wEslqsgDXH

According to the NFL’s concussion data, which is collected by healthcare data company IQVIA, the median time for the 29 quarterbacks who suffered a concussion between 2015-2019 to complete concussion protocol and return to play was seven days. -------------------------------------------------------------------------

Im guessing this is what the week looks like if all goes well:
Wednesday:
Phase 3: Football Specific Exercise
This is when the team can begin to introduce football-specific activities. Mahomes would be allowed to partake in supervised strength training and exercise with the team in 30-minute intervals or fewer. Players can sometimes return to practice in a limited capacity in the phase, dependent upon what the practice day entails. He’ll again have to be monitored for concussion symptoms and undergo neurocognitive testing during this phase. If he’s able to get through it without any worsening concussion symptoms he’ll advance to the next phase.
Thursday:
Phase 4: Club-Based Non-Contact Training Drills
This is where Mahomes can get back to all non-contact football work at practice. He can begin throwing, running and do other QB-specific activities. On walkthrough days, players could be listed as a full participant in practice during this phase. If he’s able to get through this phase without any new or worsening symptoms and passes through neurocognitive testing he’ll advance to the final phase of the NFL’s return-to-participation protocols.
Friday:
Phase 5: Full Football Activity/Clearance
If Mahomes is able to get through team meetings, conditioning and non-contact practice without recurring symptoms and his neurocognitive testing returns to baseline, he’ll be able to be cleared in full by the team’s training staff. In this phase, Mahomes would be cleared for full-contact football activities in both practice and game-time. As we mentioned earlier, he’ll also have to be cleared by an independent league neurologist. That would also occur in this phase.
Saturday:
Bills Mafia collectively shit their pants
Sunday:
Mahomes drops 40 on the Bills and raises the Lamar Hunt Trophy.
You don't have to have your head impact anything to get a concussion. Your brain can bounce off of your skull due to whiplash and that seems scarier to me than an impact. [Reply]
Andy Reid says Patrick Mahomes got hit in the back of the head and got the wind knocked out of him. Says he feels great. Never actually uses the word "concussion."
Same with Bashaud Breeland, still being evaluated.

That literally makes no sense. If he passed everything then he wouldn't have been ruled out with a concussion. You think they're keeping him off the field if he actually passed all the concussion protocol tests? [Reply]

You basically need a strong acceleration injury. Personally, I didn't see that on the replay. Clearly something happened though [Reply]

I'm not sure, the way he looked right after the play I immediately didn't think he'd be coming back [Reply]

I do. Optics. I think he failed some of the tests though. [Reply]

The NFL would have lost their shit after he was all wobbly. [Reply]
