Patrick Mahomes Suffers High-Ankle Sprain
2 years agoKansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (ankle) suffered a right high-ankle sprain in the Divisional Round win over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Saturday but vowed "I'll be good to go" for the AFC Championship game against either the Buffalo Bills or Cincinnati Bengals next weekend. X-rays came back negative, but this is a serious injury nonetheless. The 27-year-old will be very sore this upcoming week and will likely have his practice reps limited heading into next weekend. If Mahomes toughs it out and plays in the AFC Championship, fantasy managers can't expect him to be his usual self. He left the game briefly on Saturday to have his ankle taped up and returned to finish the game, but he was favoring his right ankle considerably. Mahomes finished the win 22-for-30 for a season-low 195 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions.
