Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is considered week to week due to an ankle injury he suffered during Sunday’s 21-7 win over the Browns, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported, per a source.
Rapoport added that X-rays on Mahomes’ ankle came back negative, but more testing and information will be provided on Monday.
Head coach Andy Reid said as much following Sunday’s win.
“Patrick, his right ankle has been hurt. It’s not broken, but it’s sore,” Reid said. “He’ll get started on the rehab part of it as we go, and then we’ll just have to see how he does down the road here.”
Mahomes suffered the injury at the 8-minute mark of the fourth quarter, coming up hobbling after a host of Browns defenders hit him high and low just as he let go of an incomplete pass.
“I was trying to make a play happen,” Mahomes said. “As I threw the ball I got hit, and I haven’t seen it, It felt like someone hit me from behind as well, so kind of got rolled up on. Kind of happens in football. Try to bound back up but obviously it hurt a little bit. Now we’ll get after the rehab part of it and try to be ready for next week.”
