Patrick Mahomes Was a Full Practice Go Wednesday, and the AFC Can’t Believe What His MRI Revealed

Patrick Mahomes was back at full practice on Wednesday, a stark contrast to the significant elbow injury scare that had everyone on edge just this past Sunday. The Kansas City Chiefs listed their star quarterback as a full participant, putting to rest , for now , fears that he’d miss any time.

The Scare That Vanished: Mahomes’ MRI Comes Back Clean

The sight on Sunday had fans everywhere holding their breath. Mahomes went down, and it looked like his elbow might be a serious problem. But it turns out, the man hasn’t missed a single practice session since that moment. The real relief came after an MRI, which Mahomes himself confirmed did not reveal anything too serious. How crazy is that? After a potential season-altering moment, we’re talking about a guy who’s already back on the field.

Mahomes weighed in on the whole ordeal, and you could feel the relief in his words. “Anytime you get in there, you never know what it’s going to show on the machine after,” he said, acknowledging the uncertainty. He continued, “And so, you can feel as optimistic as you do, but then you get in there, and something happens. And so, obviously after talking to the doctors and stuff like that, I feel like I’m in a great spot.” Talk about a bullet dodged.

Pain Management Is the Name of the Game for Sunday

While the MRI was a huge win, it is not a complete all clear. Mahomes made it clear that “Now it’s just about pain and pain management and stuff like that, which I’ll try to do whatever I can to be in the best place possible.” That is the kind of dedication you love to see from your quarterback, right? He knows he has to put in the work, both at the facility and at home, to be ready for Sunday’s game.

Mahomes is fully committed, stating, “I’ll be able to be out on the practice field, throw the football, and do all that different type of stuff.” It sounds like he is not planning on slowing down. He stressed that this is an ongoing process, hinting that he will be managing this throughout the entire season. For any team hoping to catch a break, it looks like Mahomes is still going to be out there slinging it.
