Chiefs’ QB Patrick Mahomes will undergo an MRI on Sunday to gain further clarity on the ankle injury he suffered during Saturday‘a Divisional Playoff win over the Jaguars, per source. Initial X-rays on Mahomes’ ankle were negative.
UPDATE 3: Courtesy of King - High Ankle Sprain Confirmed
MRI today confirmed that Chiefs’ QB Patrick Mahomes suffered a high ankle sprain during Saturday’s win over the Jaguars, per league source. “Nothing more than that,” said one source, and Mahomes has said he plans to play in next Sunday’s AFC Championship Game.
Yeah, it's a good sign but I don't want to see him taking any further damage to that leg, and you know the Bengals are going to be gunning for it. [Reply]

What’s the alternative? It’s the AFC Championship game, he’s playing and if his leg falls off then so be it. This isn’t week 12 and we need to get him healthy for the playoffs. [Reply]

Maybe stand down a bit on playing post police... [Reply]
Did someone....just say....the Chiefs weren't supposed to be in this game and are surprised about it??? The fuck is wrong with you guys? If Mahomes is healthy enough, I have the same attitude as every week. I expect to win. [Reply]

If anybody with the Chiefs thought that was a big risk, he wouldn't play.
He wouldn't have played last week.
Why don't you just relax and trust this team to do their jobs? It's not like they haven't proven themselves over and over and over. [Reply]

I remember the days watching Willie Roaf walk wondering if this is a person that should be drawing disability only to watch him on Sunday being one of the best offensive lineman in the league. [Reply]

Dude was a good guy and a man mountain. I met him up at River Falls and can’t imagine being across the line from him. [Reply]

And yes Roaf walked like he was one legged. [Reply]

Reid said that McKinnon would be the emergency QB if Henne had gotten injured.

I agree but all these clips don't mean manure. These drills are going through the motions. There is no true game speed type practice drills here whatsoever to make an accurate analysis and that is for a reason. I truly believe they haven't tested Pat yet on any kind of game speed twisted torque type plays on the ankle(whether roll outs or drop backs). And they probably won't until Saturday if not Sunday(game day) to see where he is really at in this healing process.
An excellent Gorilla Duct Tape job, cortisone(if applicable) and AFC Championship adrenaline, along with a Fort Knox o-line type play is all Pat will need to avoid any pain.:-) [Reply]
