Chiefs coach says Mahomes day-to-day after elbow injury
Head coach Andy Reid reported that quarterback Patrick Mahomes is in good spirits and listed as day-to-day following an elbow injury sustained against the Jets.
"Patrick, he is really day-to-day right now," head coach Andy Reid told reporters at Monday's news conference. "It was more positive news than negative news on Patrick. It looks like it’s just a matter of some rehab in there and getting rid of some of the soreness. And we’ll just see where it goes from there. But he’s in good spirits today — I have seen him today, so he’s in good spirits today."
Mahomes completed 7 of 10 passes for 81 yards in the third quarter and 5 of 6 for 41 yards in the fourth, helping Kansas City defeat the New York Jets 35-12 despite the injury late in the first half. Reid also noted that wide receiver Xavier Worthy (hamstring) and defensive lineman Jaylon Moore (ankle) are each listed as day-to-day.
Kansas City will travel to face the Atlanta Falcons in Week 10, with the first injury report of the week scheduled for Wednesday.
