Patrick Mahomes injury: Star QB avoids ‘major’ elbow injury vs. Jets
Follow
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes narrowly avoided a significant injury scare during Sunday’s Week 9 contest against the New York Jets. After taking a hard hit from Jets rookie edge rusher David Bailey in the first half, Mahomes stepped off the field holding his right elbow—an area of concern given the severity of the contact.
Though the injury appeared alarming on the field, Mahomes returned before halftime and completed the game, leading the Chiefs to victory. Head coach Andy Reid later confirmed the QB’s status as ‘day-to-day,’ though no immediate MRI results were disclosed.
The Chiefs’ offense remained intact, with Mahomes’ resilience proving crucial as the team rebounded from two straight losses.
