When I saw the replays, I was actually more worried about an MCL injury than an ankle. Hopefully this is just a sprain that swells up for a couple of days and gets much more manageable throughout the week. [Reply]
A pocket Mahomes can be even more deadly in terms of efficiency. It will make the OL play with more urgency to protect him and the defense to be on their toes as well. [Reply]

If Mahomes plays he is a tough SOB
He already played an entire second half. Mac Jones is a pussy ass bitch so of course he wasn't gonna suit up to play. [Reply]

Not sure of the extent of the injury, but Patrick Mahomes has nothing on his right foot. No wrap or boot or anything. He’s rocking the same sneakers he came to the stadium in. Also not much of a limp to be honest. We’ll see

we'll see how it works out
He was struggling on those handoff plays that required more steps to get to the RB. I am curious to see how that goes moving forward. In addition to the run game, they will need to focus on getting the ball out quickly so he’s not scrambling around to avoid pass rushers. [Reply]

Pretty similar to being rolled up on by a 300lb football player. I once misstepped off a ladder at work and rolled my left ankle. My whole foot was bruised for weeks afterwards and hurt like hell, but I didn't go to a doctor and didn't miss any work. So, basically the same thing. He'll be fine [Reply]
