Bills at Chiefs: QB Patrick Mahomes ‘not 100 percent’
Make no doubt about it, the Chiefs will have quarterback Patrick Mahomes against the Bills in Sunday’s AFC Championship game.
That doesn’t mean he will be fully healthy though, according to one report.
Per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Mahomes is battling turf toe. The QB was diagnosed with that injury following the Chiefs’ win over the Browns last week and the issue was said to “limited his effectiveness” in practice this week. During that Divisional round game, Mahomes was clearly limping throughout the game.
On Friday, Mahomes said in regard to the toe “the next day was very sore, and every single day since then it’s gotten a lot better,” per Chiefs Wire.
All throughout the week prior to Sunday’s game, Mahomes’ highlighted issue was a concussion he also suffered vs. the Browns. He’s since been cleared from that.
If the toe situation was to worsen vs. the Bills, backup Chad Henne would take over. Henne was 6-for-8 passing against the Browns with an interception. He did complete a game-sealing pass on fourth down, though.
