20 minute breakdown of Mahomes and the protocol by Dr. Chao. Cliff notes:
1. Don't expect anything definitive until Friday or Saturday. Have until Sunday morning since home game.
2. If he had ongoing symptoms last night or today would almost certainly be out.
3. Media will have no direct access to Mahomes, who will likely be seen by team physician at home.
4. No news early in the week is good.
5. Won't see INC until end, who will make final call by comparing test to previous baseline for Mahomes. Due to personal liability on a 500M player INC will not be influenced by any pressure. Objective tests. Only derives a small portion of his income from the league. Local neurologist in each city.
If that "Local neurologist" sits him and his name gets out, in today's environment, crazies cant be trusted to not cross lines anymore. [Reply]

He has NOT been diagnosed with a concussion and until then NONE of this applies. [Reply]
Mahomes had a concussion when he played for Texas Tech. I know in general having a concussion before makes one more susceptible to future concussions. However, that previous concussion was so long ago. These injuries are so much harder to predict than any others. [Reply]
“Patrick passed all of his tests last night. He didn’t actually hit his head, there was a nerve in his neck that got tweaked that made him out of it. He’s getting testing done on his neck/nerve today but did clear all tests last night.”

Being in concussion protocol per the team does not = being diagnosed with a concussion. It means they were treating him as if it were a possibility yesterday. If he is diagnosed as not having had a concussion none of this matters. [Reply]
