Patrick Mahomes was grim – and limping – after the Chiefs’ second attack on Sunday. He injured the big toe on his left foot, and in between needed the blue medical tent.
But it became a footnote (pun intended) when the Chiefs’ full-back left with a concussion with 7:11 left in the third quarter.
The bad news for the Chiefs is the uncertainty surrounding Mahomes’ status for the AFC Championship Game. He will need to get approval from an independent neurologist before he can return.
The good news for the Chiefs is that they do not expect his tone to affect him.
“Yeah, I think he’s going to be fine with the toe part right now,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said via Charles Goldman of The Chiefs Wire. “I think we’ll be fine there.”
The practice reports Wednesday, Thursday and Friday will give an indication of where Mahomes is in his bid to lead the Chiefs to a second consecutive Super Bowl.
