The Kansas City Chiefs had a brief scare during the Week 9 35-12 win against the New York Jets, as quarterback Patrick Mahomes sustained an apparent elbow injury. While he continued to play after being knocked by a Jets rookie, Mahomes has now given an update on what the injury might be.

“Well, I haven’t got that yet,” Mahomes said when asked if the injury felt different from his previous ones, according to Charles Goldman of A to Z Sports. “So, we’re gonna go do some testing here whenever I get done with this media stuff right here, and we’ll get a better understanding of it. I’m sure Coach Reid will give you an update tomorrow.”
You know, it scares you in moments when you get some pain in certain areas of your body. And so, obviously, didn’t feel great, but I was able to kind of get it worked on a little bit, especially at halftime, and then I was able to go out there and play the rest of the game.”
Late in the second quarter, Mahomes was looking to move the ball on a second-and-10 play at the Chiefs’ 37-yard line. But as he was about to release the ball, his arm collided with Jets rookie David Bailey’s arm, and he was also hit from the back by Will McDonald.
Mahomes was on the ground for a few moments before getting up, and seemed to have hurt his elbow. He returned later for the final Chiefs drive in the second quarter, which was pretty soon after he left the field.
