Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes Injury Status Suddenly Changes on Saturday

The Kansas City Chiefs had some concerning news on their final injury report for Week 9 revealed on Saturday afternoon. The 7-0 Chiefs are getting prepared to play the 4-4 Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday night.

Patrick Mahomes’ injury status was briefly a concern after Kansas City’s recent game against the Las Vegas Raiders. He appeared to have rolled his ankle during a play, raising immediate questions about his condition. However, head coach Andy Reid quickly alleviated concerns, confirming Mahomes would be fine and that the injury wasn’t serious

Head coach Andy Reid announced on Saturday that rookie tight end Jared Wiley suffered a season-ending ACL injury in practice this week. The Chiefs plan to elevate Payton Hendershot to replace Wiley for Monday night’s game.

The Chiefs ruled out three more players, CB Nazeeh Johnson (concussion), WR JuJu Smith-Schuster (hamstring), and DL Mike Danna (pectoral) for Monday night’s game.

Quarterback Patrick Mahomes was placed on the injury report Wednesday due to an ankle injury. Because of the location of the injury, it was unclear if Mahomes’s mobility would be hampered against the Buccaneers.

Mahomes will enter Week 9 looking to gain some momentum after a slow start to the season. He’s thrown just eight touchdowns to nine interceptions through the Chiefs’ first seven games.
