While Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has cleared the NFL’s concussion protocol, that is not the only injury concern for the former MVP.
Sources say Mahomes was diagnosed with turf toe in his left foot following the Divisional Round win over the Cleveland Browns, an injury that limited his effectiveness on the field last week and during practice this week.
Mahomes currently has no injury status and took almost all of the reps during the week of practice that more closely resembled a slew of walk-throughs. When he cleared protocol, his injury status was removed and he’ll play vs. the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Championship Game.
Of the toe, Mahomes said, “The next day was very sore, and every single day since then it’s gotten a lot better.”
As of now, there is not necessarily a belief that Mahomes will need surgery on the plantar plate…
