An MRI found no major injury to Patrick Mahomes’s right elbow after he was hit during the Kansas City Chiefs’ win over the New York Jets. The Chiefs will monitor him for pain and swelling before their next game against the Atlanta Falcons.
Ian Rapoport reported that Mahomes is dealing with an elbow strain or sprain.
Jets pass rusher David Bailey hit Mahomes late in the first half, and the quarterback lost the football. Mahomes went to the sideline holding his right elbow, received medical attention and tested his arm by throwing.
After the game, Mahomes said he felt good but expected to be sore the following day. He also discussed his preparation for the Falcons game.
“That will be important this week is kind of getting the swelling and the fluid out of it so I can be ready to go from the first snap next week,” Mahomes said.
