Dislocated kneecap, but not significant additional damage
The MRI has confirmed the #Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes suffered a dislocated kneecap, but not significant additional damage, sources tell me and @JamesPalmerTV. He’ll seek additional opinions to be sure. The plan is for him to return this season after a brief absence. (Ian Rapoport on Twitter)
Nerdy Football Analysis: This sounds like the best-case scenario for Mahomes. Assuming additional opinions don’t stray, Mahomes is likely to miss a few weeks with Matt Moore holding the fort down until Mahomes returns. The Chiefs have a bye in Week 12. Adam Schefter suggests Mahomes is likely to miss three games.
