Patrick Mahomes Injury Update: Mild High-Ankle Sprain
Patrick Mahomes left the Chiefs’ 21-7 win over the Browns in the fourth quarter due to an ankle injury. Tests revealed a mild high-ankle sprain, and while Mahomes is listed as week-to-week, the team will assess him throughout the week to see if he can play in Saturday’s game against the Houston Texans. Before leaving, Mahomes had 159 yards and two touchdowns on 19-of-38 passing. Despite facing heavy pressure (sacked 21 times), Mahomes remains a top fantasy QB with 3,348 passing yards and 22 touchdowns this season.
With a quick turnaround and tough matchups ahead, including a Christmas Day game, Mahomes’ ankle injury is a big concern. While the Chiefs don’t think it’s serious, it’s still something fantasy gamers should monitor closely. If Mahomes can’t go, owners may need to find backup options, as the Chiefs rely heavily on him for both their playoff hopes and fantasy points.
