Patrick Mahomes, the quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs, is sidelined for the week after suffering an ankle injury against the Cleveland Browns. Although Chiefs head coach Andy Reid stated that Mahomes’ ankle is only uncomfortable and not broken, ESPN’s Ian Rapoport reports that there are concerns that he may have sustained a high ankle sprain that will need him to miss time.
It is possible that Mahomes will miss the Chiefs’ Christmas game against the Pittsburgh Steelers because the Chiefs and Steelers will play each other in just nine days. Carson Wentz would start for the Chiefs in that scenario.
The Chiefs are currently 13-1 and the AFC’s top seed. Although they haven’t done so yet, the Buffalo Bills and Steelers can both do it in the correct setting, and a Mahomes injury would undoubtedly help them in their quest for home field advantage for the duration of the playoffs.
