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.

According to the NFL痴 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値l again have to be monitored for concussion symptoms and undergo neurocognitive testing during this phase. If he痴 able to get through it without any worsening concussion symptoms he値l 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痴 able to get through this phase without any new or worsening symptoms and passes through neurocognitive testing he値l advance to the final phase of the NFL痴 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値l be able to be cleared in full by the team痴 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値l 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.

Yeah but he was still ruled out after that. Our best hope is that they were being extremely cautious.

Good news. Didn't appear it was a hard blow and he's a young man, I like his chances.
Hopefully for his long term welfare he's not had that happen before and won't again.

I was thinking that too. Can you imagine the uproar if he came back in after getting up all woozy?
