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.

Quarterback Patrick Mahomes battled through his high ankle sprain to lead the Kansas City Chiefs to a 23-20 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC Championship game on Sunday, thereby booking his team’s place in Super Bowl LVII.

“People don’t realize how hurt he was,” Kansas City general manager Brett Veach said of Mahomes. “We all saw the injury. High ankles are terrible injuries, and sometimes guys miss two, three weeks, and he was out there and running for a first down and a big play in the game that got us in field goal range. But it just adds to an already great legacy.”

Mahomes was injured during his team’s victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars a week ago. Despite incurring the injury midgame, Mahomes pushed through to see out the remainder of the contest and went on to state his intention to play in the following game against the Bengals.

Despite playing through injury, the Chiefs quarterback made 29-of-43 passing while fumbling the ball just once throughout the game against the Bengals. In addition, he performed his final snap 17 seconds before the end of the game, thereby handing his team a last-minute victory.

Kansas City will face the Philadelphia Eagles at Super Bowl LVII on Sunday.

The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback returned from injury to help his team defeat the Jacksonville Jaguars 27-20 on Saturday, thereby booking a spot for the Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game next Sunday. Still harboring his ankle injury, Mahomes was not a guaranteed starter leading up to Saturday’s game.

“It feels better than I thought it was going to be now,” Mahomes said of his ankle following the Chiefs’ win. “Obviously, I have a lot of adrenaline going right now, so we’ll see how it feels. But I’ll hop right in the treatment and try to do whatever I can to be as close to 100 percent by next week. Luckily for us, we played the early game on Saturday, so we get an extra almost half a day that I can let that ankle rest.”

The Chiefs have scheduled an MRI for Mahomes on Sunday in order to gain further clarity on the quarterback’s injury recovery status. The player injured his ankle after falling awkwardly during the first quarter of the Jaguars’ game

Although the Chiefs wanted Mahomes to head to the locker room for X-rays, the 27-year-old player refused, instead choosing to continue the game. He later gave in to the team’s X-ray request, going on to perform some agility tests.

Kansas City Chiefs star quarterback Patrick Mahomes is set to undergo toe surgery this week. The procedure is expected to fix the “turf toe” issue that bothered Mahomes pretty much the entire offseason.

According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Mahomes will take several months recovering and is expected to miss most of the Chiefs’ offseason workouts. He is, however, expected to make full recovery and be ready in time for training camp.

Mahomes initially hurt his toe during the Divisional Playoff round win over the Cleveland Browns, when he also experienced a concussion. The 25-year-old superstar returned in time to face the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Championship and looked unfazed by either issue as he threw for 325 yards and three touchdowns.

But Mahomes did have one of the worst games in his NFL career in the Super Bowl loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this past weekend. He threw two interceptions while failing to score a single touchdown.

The reporters immediately linked the struggles with the toe injury after the contest, but the 2018 NFL MVP didn’t want to use it as an excuse.

“I can’t say the toe was a problem when I played two weeks ago, and I played well on it,” said Mahomes. “Anytime you play football, you have to battle through injuries.”

Patrick Mahomes has been injury-free for most of his NFL career so far. The only time he was out because of an injury was in 2019, when he missed two games.

The Kansas City Chiefs might have won in their Thursday Night Football showdown against the Denver Broncos, but all of the focus after the game was on star quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

Mahomes left the game in the first half after suffering an ugly knee injury on a quarterback sneak play. He got the first down in the Denver red zone to give the Chiefs a shot at a touchdown, but was forced to leave the game after dislocating his right knee at the bottom of the pile.

The star third-year quarterback and reigning MVP saw his knee popped back into place by the Chiefs’ medical team and was able to walk off the field and into the locker room under his own power.

Mahomes showed optimism after the game that his injury was nothing serious. The team’s medical staff, however, is expected to perform more tests to see if he suffered any ligament damage in his knee on the play.

Backup quarterback Matt Moore replaced the young star after his Thursday night injury and performed well. The former Dolphins and Panthers QB completed 10 of 19 passes for 117 yards and a touchdown.

The Chiefs will now wait to see when Mahomes will make his return to the field.
