(GSM) — Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes left the week 7 matchup against the Denver Broncos last Thursday. A dislocated kneecap left him sidelined for the rest of the game and the initial reports were grim.
Doctors evaluated the injury and the MRI on Friday disclosed no significant ligament damage. According to Kansas City Star’s Herbie Teope, Mahomes is “progressing nicely.” At the moment, there is no real time table on his return.
Chiefs Head Coach Andy Reid said in a press conference, “There isn’t a set time. I don’t think you can go with a set timeline with this injury. We’re going to just see,” Reid said, “He goes 100 mph. It’s important that he listens to the doctors and the trainers and that he continues to work hard at the same time and get himself ready to go. He’s doing all the things that he can possibly do.”
Despite his injury, Mahomes has remained positive and via social media and congratulated his teammates on the 30-6 win over Denver. The floodgates opened around Twitter in support of Mahomes who was in the running towards a back-to-back all-pro season.
Awesome team win! Love my brothers! Thank you for all the prayers! Everything looking good so far! #GodisGood #ChiefsKingdom
