Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes suffered a significant injury during the team\u2019s 21-7 win over the Cleveland Browns at Huntington Bank Field on Sunday. Mahomes had to leave the game late in the fourth quarter after he was hit both high and low in a play that resulted in an incomplete pass.<\/p>\n
Mahomes underwent testing on Monday to determine the severity of the issue. The two-time NFL MVP suffered a mild high-ankle sprain and is considered week-to-week.<\/span><\/p>\n With the Chiefs playing at home against the Houston Texans on Saturday and then again against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Christmas Day, there is speculation that Kansas City could turn to veteran quarterback Carson Wentz in one, if not both, of the games as the 13-1 Chiefs try to lock up home field advantage in the playoffs.<\/p>\n The front office has more worries than Mahomes\u2019 effectiveness in 2024.<\/span><\/p>\n During an appearance on The Ryen Russillo Podcast, Sports Illustrated<\/em>\u2018s Albert Breer claimed that people inside the Chiefs organization are worried about Mahomes\u2019 long-term future as the lower-body injuries pile up.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019d hit the long-term concern here with Mahomes because I know there are people in that organization that are worried about the accumulation of lower-leg injuries,\u201d Breer said. \u201cAnd it seems like, like, often, you see him so often where he\u2019s got guys wrapped around his ankles, basically. And he\u2019s twisting and contorting himself to make throws.\u201d<\/p>\n Breer suggested that the Chiefs\u2019 coaching staff would need to train Mahomes on how to adjust his game, comparing the situation to how the Pittsburgh Steelers had to work with Ben Roethlisberger.<\/p>\n \u201cThey\u2019re somewhere in that period. And Roethlisberger was almost a decade into the league and he\u2019d done a lot of the same stuff,\u201d Breer said. \u201cNow, I\u2019m not saying he\u2019s Mahomes, but he had done a lot of the same stuff Mahomes had stylistically, in not being a runner but running to throw, and being this big body who could withstand the hits.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd Todd Haley coached into him, we want you to get rid of the ball faster. You\u2019re not going to hold up if you keep playing this way\u2026 \u00a0do wonder if that\u2019s sort of, you know, like reckoning is coming with Mahomes, and it won\u2019t be this year, but in the next couple of years where it\u2019s like, look dude like you\u2019re, I think he\u2019s 29 now.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Breer argued the Chiefs should rest Mahomes against the Texans to their star quarterback up to 100% for the playoffs, even with the bye week on the line if Kansas City loses and the Buffalo Bills continue to win.<\/p>\n The Chiefs should rest Mahomes against the Texans, but they need him back on Christmas Day against the Steelers. Kansas City needs the bye to get their roster healthy before the playoffs. Furthermore, Mahomes needs to get reps with wide receiver Marquise Brown before the playoffs.<\/span><\/p>\n Unfortunately for Kansas City, the team doesn\u2019t have time for their best player to be injured.<\/p>\n For More Football News:<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n Follow me on Twitter at @JordanSig.
