Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes gave a significant injury update on his ankle ahead of Saturday’s home contest against the AFC South-leading Houston Texans.

Patrick Mahomes suffered a high ankle sprain in the Chiefs’ 21-7 road win over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. Backup Carson Wentz finished the game for Mahomes, who was initially considered week-to-week.

Per Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star, Mahomes told reporters on Tuesday that his ankle injury is healing “better” and “quicker” than the one he suffered in the 2022 Divisional Round against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Despite the obvious and painful ankle injury, Patrick Mahomes played through it and led the Chiefs to a Super Bowl 58 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. So it’s awfully encouraging that his current ankle issue already feels better.

The Chiefs (13-1) are two games up on the Buffalo Bills (11-3) for the AFC’s top seed and only first-round bye. The Chiefs either need a) two wins to clinch the No. 1 seed or b) one victory and a Bills loss over their final three weeks.

Chiefs Can Afford To Play It Safe With Patrick Mahomes

Kansas City is still in a good spot to lock up the conference’s top seed, even if they lose to Houston on Saturday. So they can afford to play it safe and rest Mahomes this week, also considering that they won in Buffalo and Baltimore last year en route to a second straight Super Bowl title.
