Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes has been diagnosed with a "mild" right high-ankle sprain, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "He's still considered week-to-week," Rapoport adds.

Chiefs HC Andy Reid said after Sunday's win over the Browns that QB Patrick Mahomes is "day-to-day" with his ankle injury. The ankle is not broken, Reid added. It sounds like Mahomes dodged a significant injury, although he has one fewer day to get ready for Saturday afternoon's game vs. Texans. We'll keep you updated on his status throughout the coming week. QB Carson Wentz is Kansas City's backup.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes avoided a serious ankle injury in Monday’s win over Tampa Bay. Mahomes hurt the ankle on a late-game throw on the run. "I was obviously running for the goal line, kind of had committed to running the football, and at the last second saw Samaje and so kind of awkwardly rolled the ankle a bit," Mahomes told reporters postgame. "Definitely scary, I think it hurt more just because it was the same ankle I rolled last week. So scared me a little bit, but once I took my breath and kind of calmed down a little bit, it ended up not being too bad." He might miss some practice time, but Mahomes is on track to face Denver in Week 10.

Underdog Fantasy's James Palmer reports that the Chiefs fear WR Rashee Rice tore his right ACL in the Week 4 win over the Chargers. Rice is scheduled for an MRI on Monday, but doctors can often accurately diagnose a torn ACL without scans. If confirmed, Rice's 2024 season would be over.
