Report: MRI shows Patrick Mahomes avoided serious injury

Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes underwent an MRI of his right elbow after the team’s 35-12 victory over the New York Jets on Sunday. The scan showed no major damage, and the team will keep an eye on the strained elbow for any pain or swelling in the coming days.

Mahomes said he will play if cleared, noting the discomfort was unsettling but manageable, especially after receiving assistance at halftime from assistant athletic trainer Julie Frymyer. The injury stemmed from a strip‑sack by Jets edge rusher David Bailey with 1:33 left in the second quarter, a play that also involved Will McDonald IV and Darrell Jackson Jr., though Mahomes did not miss a snap.
