VIDEO: Patrick Mahomes Suffers Nasty-Looking Leg Injury, Badly Limps Off Field During Scary Scene(INJURY UPDATE)..
Patrick Mahomes is hurt.
The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback got tackled awkwardly while playing against the Cleveland Browns, and things did not look good.
Mahomes was twisted in a way that a human body shouldn’t have been, as he was hit from behind and then from the front.
Mahomes took the snap and tried to move around the pocket to create more time during the play. Ultimately, his protection collapsed on him, and he had to jump while throwing the ball.
As a result, Mahomes got up and was severely limping to the sidelines.
The broadcast later showed Mahomes having his left ankle taped while sitting on the bench.
The Chiefs were up 21=7 at the time of his injury.
Mahomes was said to be questionable about returning today due to an ankle injury.
