The MRI has confirmed the #Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes suffered a dislocated kneecap, but not significant additional damage, sources tell me and @JamesPalmerTV. He’ll seek additional opinions to be sure. The plan is for him to return this season after a brief absence.

Without a doubt, the MVP wants to do MVP shit, that's what MVP's do. [Reply]
With the MRI showing no significant ligament damage, Chiefs believe QB Patrick Mahomes could actually have a shot to play before the bye. It’ll be close.
KC’s final game before the bye, against the Chargers in LA, is a month from today.

Right. It’s the NFL. Unless you have a totally garbage roster(Miami), most games are relatively close to 50/50 anyway. You generally look at the QB’s and the coaches to try to see who may have an advantage. The gap between Moore and Rodgers is ****ing canyon sized but it’s still not the gap from Reid to LaFluer. We’ll see how that translates to the game but to think we’re automatically 0-3 is silly. Again, look at the Vikings. The gap between Zimmer and Reid isn’t as vast as Reid to LaFluer but neither is the gap between Moore and on the road vs a team w a winning record Cousins. Then we get back to a large gap between Reid and Vrabel and the gap between Tannehill and Moore is negligible if not damn push worthy. I think we go 2-1 and won’t be shocked if it’s 3-0 [Reply]

It does raise the risk of it happening again. How much just depends on how much damage the patellar ligament/tendon experienced. [Reply]

That was my understanding...but it is based on limited info. Thant is why I was wanting more information. [Reply]

The data showing risk is readily available, but it is based on all-comers and not based on differing levels of soft tissue damage.
Either way he is at increased risk, but his specific risk is difficult to predict.
Based on the report of little damage on MRI, we.could definitely say his risk of reinjury is as low as can be expected given his situation. [Reply]
