Patrick Mahomes Diagnosed With Ankle Sprain

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has been officially diagnosed with a mild high-ankle sprain, rendering him week-to-week after suffering the injury during a game against the Browns. Following a tackle that left him limping, Mahomes was replaced by Carson Wentz and later carted to the locker room. With the Chiefs currently leading the AFC, there are concerns about Mahomes' recovery time, especially given the team's challenging schedule of three games in 11 days, including a Saturday matchup against the Texans. The Chiefs aim to ensure Mahomes is healthy for the playoffs, as securing the top seed would allow the team to rest during the Wild Card round. The team's decision-making will be influenced by the severity of Mahomes' condition and the importance of upcoming games. Reports indicate that Mahomes' preliminary diagnosis had initially suggested a right ankle injury, but subsequent tests confirmed the sprain.
