While Patrick Mahomes’ elbow injury looked bad when it happened on Sunday, he was able to finish the game, helping power the Chiefs to a 35-12 win over the Jets.
It sounds like he might not miss any further playing time either.
“Patrick, he is really day-to-day right now,” head coach Andy Reid told reporters in his Monday news conference. “It was more positive news than negative news on Patrick. It looks like it’s just a matter of some rehab in there and getting rid of some of the soreness. And we’ll just see where it goes from there.
“But he’s in good spirits today — I have seen him today, so he’s in good spirits today.”
Mahomes suffered the injury late in the first half. In the third quarter, he completed 7-of-10 passes for 81 yards. He was 5-of-6 for 41 yards in the fourth quarter.
Additionally, Reid mentioned Xavier Worthy (hamstring) and Jaylon Moore (ankle) are day-to-day with their respective injuries.
The Chiefs will be on the road to play the Falcons in Week 10. The first injury report of the week will be issued on Wednesday.
