VIDEO: Social Media Detectives Spotted Major Concern With Patrick Mahomes After New Footage Surfaces On Social Media
Patrick Mahomes had all of Chiefs Kingdom worried after going down with an apparent ankle problem against the Buccaneers on Monday Night.
The quarterback did not miss a single snap, however, returning to fire his team to an overtime win over Tampa Bay and take Kansas City’s record to 8-0.
A video from the Chiefs’ practice has since surfaced online, showing Mahomes wearing a heavy layer of tape on the joint.
“19 seconds of Patrick Mahomes (& his heavily taped left ankle) on a Fast Friday™️ #ChiefsKingdom,” KSHB 41 News’ Matt Foster captioned the video shown below.
“Andy Reid said Mahomes did a good job this week at practice and didn’t miss any reps. #ChiefsKingdom,” he added in the comments.
Fans Wondered Why Patrick Mahomes Was Even In Training This Week
Chiefs fans would have liked it if the QB was given a break this week and sounded off in the comments.
“8-0. Why not give him a week of rest before Buffalo,” one wondered.
“Broncos defense 100% targeting this ankle this weekend,” someone else said.
“Why on earth would they not sit pat for a week.. Seems borderline malpractice,” another comment read.
Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs will look to improve to 9-0 when they face Sean Payton’s Broncos this Sunday. But there will be some concern over his ankle, especially given his history with such injuries.
