Follow-Up: Mahomes' MRI Shows No Major Damage After Elbow Injury; Chiefs List Him Day-to-Day
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Chiefs beat the New York Jets 35-12 at Arrowhead Stadium in Jackson County, Missouri, on November 8, but the postgame focus was on quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who hurt his elbow during the game. In the second quarter, Jets rookie David Bailey hit Mahomes' throwing arm just as he released the ball; Mahomes left the field clutching his elbow, was examined, then returned and finished the game, completing 23 of 31 passes for 242 yards and two touchdowns.
NFL Network reporter Ian Rapoport reported that an MRI found no major damage and that Mahomes was diagnosed with an elbow sprain, with the team listing him as day-to-day. Head coach Andy Reid confirmed the plan on November 9, saying the team will keep monitoring his pain and swelling. Mahomes said after the game that the elbow felt better as the game went on and that he expected some soreness the next day.
The game was also tight end Travis Kelce's 200th career regular-season game. The Chiefs improved to 6-2 and next travel to face the Atlanta Falcons.
