Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes gave Chiefs Kingdom a scare when he suffered a hit on his right arm that bent his elbow backwards. He writhed in pain holding his arm as he came off the field. The Chiefs defense held the New York Jets to a three-and-out, and Mahomes wasn’t on the sideline long.
He remained in the game and went 23-for-31 for 242 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. Afterwards, head coach Andy Reid called Mahomes day to day.
“Patrick, he is really day to day right now,” Reid said. “It was more positive news than negative news on Patrick. It looks like it’s just a matter of some rehab in there and getting rid of some of the soreness. And we’ll just see where it goes from there, but he’s in good spirits (Monday.) I have seen him today, so he’s in good spirits today.”
Mahomes will have a new teammate when they face the Atlanta Falcons Sunday afternoon. The Chiefs acquired wide receiver Josh Downs from the Indianapolis Colts before Tuesday’s trade deadline.
