Three-time Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes appeared on Wednesday’s injury report with a new, unexpected issue, showing he’s now dealing with both ankle.
As the Kansas City Chiefs gear up for a critical game against the Buffalo Bills, Mahomes finds himself a bit battered after two tough, physical games. Despite Buffalo’s own injury list, Mahomes remains the key piece of the Chiefs’ strategy. Although he practiced fully, his condition is worth watching ahead of Sunday’s game.
Mahomes’ season has been intriguing so far, with Kansas City remaining unbeaten, though his personal performance has been more mixed by his standards. He has 12 touchdowns and nine interceptions, demonstrating his knack for big plays but also a more volatile season. His ongoing injuries could present a challenge against Josh Allen and the Bills.
Meanwhile, the Chiefs’ left tackle situation is becoming a genuine issue. If Kingsley Suamataia and Wanya Morris can’t reliably protect Mahomes, the risk of further injury grows each week.
On a positive note, Isiah Pacheco and Charles Omenihu returned to practice and are close to being back in action, positioning the team well for the playoffs. But Mahomes’ health is the story to watch. Losing to the Bills is far less concerning than losing their star quarterback. Andy Reid’s strategy needs to prioritize Mahomes’ safety, with injury prevention as the primary goal for the rest of the season. We’ll see how that plays out this Sunday.S
