Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes week-to-week with ankle injury: reports

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes suffered a severe ankle sprain on Sunday and will progress from week to week, NBC Sports and NFL Network report.

Mahomes left the Chiefs’ 21-7 victory over the Cleveland Browns in the fourth quarter and was replaced by Carson Wentz. When the game ended, he visibly limped off the field.

“Patrick, his right ankle is injured. “It’s not broken, but it hurts,” Kansas City coach Andy Reid said after the game. “He’ll start the rehab part over time and then we’ll just have to see how he does. It will literally be day by day. He probably could have gone back in. He wanted to go back inside. There was no need for that.”

Mahomes said after feeling like he could have returned to the game, but the “smart decision” was to let Wentz finish.
