Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes suffered a scary elbow injury during Sunday's 35-12 victory over the Jets but played through the pain. An MRI taken after the game revealed no major structural damage to his right elbow, according to sources. Mahomes was hit by Jets edge rusher David Bailey in the second quarter and grimaced as he left the field, but he returned after halftime.
He finished the game with 23 completions for 242 yards and two touchdowns. Coach Andy Reid adjusted the game plan in the second half to accommodate Mahomes' injury, relying more on short passes. Mahomes said he will continue to monitor the injury for pain and swelling but feels confident in his recovery.
