Patrick Mahomes had all of Chiefs Kingdom worried after going down with an apparent ankle problem against the Buccaneers on Monday Night.
The quarterback did not miss a single snap, however, returning to fire his team to an overtime win over Tampa Bay and take Kansas City’s record to 8-0.
A video from the Chiefs’ practice has since surfaced online, showing Mahomes wearing a heavy layer of tape on the joint.
“19 seconds of Patrick Mahomes (& his heavily taped left ankle) on a Fast Friday™️ #ChiefsKingdom,” KSHB 41 News’ Matt Foster captioned the video shown below.
“Andy Reid said Mahomes did a good job this week at practice and didn’t miss any reps. #ChiefsKingdom,” he added in the comments.
Fans Wondered Why Patrick Mahomes Was Even In Training This Week
Chiefs fans would have liked it if the QB was given a break this week and sounded off in the comments.
“8-0. Why not give him a week of rest before Buffalo,” one wondered.
“Broncos defense 100% targeting this ankle this weekend,” someone else said.
“Why on earth would they not sit pat for a week.. Seems borderline malpractice,” another comment read.
Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs will look to improve to 9-0 when they face Sean Payton’s Broncos this Sunday. But there will be some concern over his ankle, especially given his history with such injuries.
