Patrick Mahomes left the AFC Divisional Round game against the Cleveland Browns early with what was initially viewed as a potential concussion. But the Monday morning update on the Kansas City Chiefs QB bodes well for Championship Weekend.
According to Carrington Harrison of CBS Sports in Kansas City, a source inside the organization revealed that Mahomes passed all of his tests after the game. Per the report, Mahomes didn’t actually hit his head as we all thought.
Rather, Mahomes tweaked a nerve in his neck that “made him out of it.” He got subsequent tests done on his neck and the nerve and passed them all.
Based on how the play that took him out of the game looked, it was tough to tell if he did, in fact, hit his head. But the way he got up – or struggled to – after the play in question was extremely concerning to viewers at home.
