The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes said that his right ankle is on the mend ahead of his team’s Super Bowl LVII showdown with the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. He stated that he does not expect to be limited in terms of playing ability because of the injury setback, despite there being no guarantees.
“You won’t know exactly how it is until you get to game day,” Mahomes remarked. “I mean, I definitely move around better than I was moving last week or two weeks ago. So, it’s just trying to continue to get the treatment and the rehab and get it as close to 100% and then rely on some adrenaline to let me do a little bit extra when I’m on the field.”
Mahomes suffered a high ankle sprain during the Chiefs’ Divisional Round 27-20 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars on January 21, when a Jaguars’ pass rusher landed on it during the first quarter. While Mahomes pushed through his injury to see out the game, he had to alter his playing style in order to accommodate for his injury. Mahomes started the 23-20 Western Conference Championship win over the Cincinnati Bengals and is expected to play in Super Bowl LVII.
