Andy Reid Provides Positive Update on Patrick Mahomes’ Elbow Injury

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is undergoing daily medical evaluations following an elbow injury sustained during Sunday’s 35-12 victory over the New York Jets.

The injury occurred during the final minutes of the first half when Jets defender David Bailey sacked Mahomes, causing a fumble.

Head coach Andy Reid provided an update on the quarterback’s status during a Monday videoconference. Reid indicated that the medical outlook for the two-time NFL Most Valuable Player is favorable.

“The news regarding Patrick is more positive than negative,” Reid told local reporters. “It looks like it’s just a matter of going through the rehabilitation and getting rid of some soreness, and we’ll just see how things go from there.”

The injury occurred after Mahomes was tackled by Bailey twice within a span of three plays. Lors du deuxième plaqué, Bailey a frappé violemment le coude de Mahomes, provoquant un échappé.

Medical staff examined Mahomes on the sidelines, but the quarterback returned to the field for the Chiefs’ subsequent offensive possession. Despite the contact, Mahomes finished the game with 242 passing yards and two touchdowns.

Reid reported that Mahomes was in good spirits when the two met on Monday. The coach emphasized that the team will continue to monitor the quarterback’s progress as they prepare for their next contest.

The Chiefs, currently holding a 6-2 record, are scheduled to travel to Atlanta to face the Falcons (3-6) on Sunday. The team’s medical staff will determine Mahomes’ availability for practice throughout the week leading up to the game.
