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.
When he went out with an injury, it felt like one of my own kids got hurt. I didn't even think about the Chief's season impact, I just wanted him to be okay. My friend had a co-worker sitting in a suite. The rumor was-Mahomes had a fractured Tibia- his season was over. It was a gut punch.
Then he comes out of the locker room, throws his coat off like Superman, and wins the game for us. Amazing! [Reply]
He was Stretch Armstrong, the Rubber Band Man, Mr Bill. He and Travis were Gumby and Pokey. Bend them, twist them, tie up warm bread in plastic sleeve with their bodies.

Lord I pray for Patrick Mahomes ankle. Please heal him, remove his pain, and give the doctors the wisdom of how to proceed with rehabilitation. Amen. [Reply]

I'm expecting him to play and I'll be pleasantly surprised to see him have any more mobility than old man Brady.
Agreed. There's no way in hell he will be able to do much if it is truly a high-ankle sprain.
My concern is if he does play, his instincts take over for a play here and there. You saw it on the one play yesterday when he tried scrambling a little and clearly shouldn't have been.
Also, I'm not a doctor but I'd assume if he takes one bad hit to that knee it could seriously damage it long-term. I just hope the Chiefs are smart here. Mahomes is a very competitive person. Don't let him play if he shouldn't. Sometimes you have to protect players from themselves. Henne is capable.
That said, from what I heard so far everything seems like Mahomes will be good to go. Have to wait and see. [Reply]

Yup. My guess is that he’ll be dealing with significant swelling this week along with plenty of pain. The truth of the matter is that Mahomes shouldn’t be playing if his injury is what’s being reported. His long term health is far more important and it fucking blows to acknowledge it, given that once again we’re in the AFCCG. I feel so bad for him because he’s such a warrior, but Andy has to do what’s right here and I trust he will. We need a miracle. [Reply]

I see about a 0% chance Reid doesn’t let him play. It will take the training staff to force this one. [Reply]
Pretty much dependant on what the MRI shows. If the ligaments are already badly damaged then yeah, playing on it has the possibility of making that ankle unstable going forward. [Reply]
Mac Jones missed 3 games
Daniel Jones didn’t miss any
Baker Mayfield missed 2 games
Ryan Tannehill missed 1 game then Reinjured
Trevor Lawrence had a mild one and don’t miss time
I think he will be limited, but might be feeling pretty good by the Super Bowl. [Reply]
