He said, “Look at Patrick Mahomes’ last game. If he would have walked in there with zero concerns, he didn’t walk out with zero concerns…

“Let’s just be real about that. I am concerned about him. He’s compromised right now. Whatever you want to say about him, the concussion, the neck injury, the nerve injury, his foot/toe injury, whatever you want to say, he’s not at full strength.”

“But I guess you can feel better because no one is at full strength this time in the playoffs. With that said, he’s facing a team who defensively are at full strength…of the four remaining defenses, they’re the best in terms of scoring defense,” Wiley said on the show.

Mahomes’ status for the weekend will be made public on Friday. He was a limited participant during Chiefs’ practice earlier this week.

But coach Reid is confident that Mahomes will be cleared to feature in the all-important AFC Championship Game on Sunday. You can’t afford to miss out on this one.
