Mahomes instantly reached for his right ankle and was seen limping to the sidelines to speak to his team’s coaches before hobbling back onto the field.
The Chiefs’ star quarterback was brought down by Jaguars’ Arden Key and Corey Peters in the first quarter and replays showed Mahomes’ ankle getting caught awkwardly under Key as both men fell to the ground. “Obviously, I have a lot of adrenaline going right now, so we’ll see how it feels,” Mahomes told reporters. “But I’ll hop right in the treatment tonight and try to do whatever I can to be as close to 100 percent by next week.
“For a while, I thought I could play through it but he said he would not put me back in ‘so might as well go get that X-Ray and if it’s negative or whatever I’ll put you back in.’ “I ran back there, got the X-Ray and was able to play and finish the game.” ‘He’s a tough kid’ The Chiefs have now reached the AFC Championship game for the fifth consecutive year but there are now doubts about Mahomes’ ability to play on January 29.
