  • No offseason procedure expected

    Coach Andy Reid relayed Tuesday that he doesn't believe Mahomes will require offseason surgery after dislocating his kneecap this past October, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports. "Right now he looks good," Reid said of the QB, who capped his 2019 season by earning Super Bowl LIV MVP honors. "He was out throwing with Dez (Bryant) the other day so he looked like he was slinging it around pretty good. I think he's fine."

    Analysis: Given that Mahomes was able to play through his aches and pains as last year's campaign rolled along, this isn't especially surprising, but Reid's words do at least reinforce that Mahomes' offseason appears to be going fine at this stage. Heading into the 2019 season, Mahomes was the clear-cut No. 1-ranked fantasy QB. While he retains elite status in advance of the 2020 slate, he's now joined by fellow signal caller Lamar Jackson as a top-tier option at his position.

  • Helps lead comeback win in SB LIV

    Mahomes completed 26 of 42 passes for 286 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions during the Chiefs' 31-20 win over the 49ers in Super Bowl LIV on Sunday. He also rushed nine times for 29 yards and another score and fumbled twice, but neither was lost.

    Analysis: It was far from easy, but Mahomes managed to overcome yet more postseason struggles to help the Chiefs notch their third consecutive comeback win. His performance, while at times rocky, was enough to make him the youngest quarterback to secure Super Bowl MVP honors, and Kansas City also became the first team in NFL history to manage three consecutive comeback victories in the postseason. Mahomes made poor throws on both of his interceptions, each coming on a pass attempt to Tyreek Hill. The…read more

  • Accounts for four TDs vs. Titans

    Mahomes completed 23 of 35 pass attempts for 294 yards and three touchdowns Sunday against the Titans. He also carried eight times for 53 yards and a touchdown in the 35-24 win.

    Analysis: Although the Tennessee defense had been rolling, it was no match for Mahomes, who averaged a healthy 8.4 yards per attempt while completing 66 percent of his passes. He connected with Tyreek Hill for two touchdowns and added a spectacular 27-yard rushing score before capping his day off with a 60-yard strike to Sammy Watkins in the fourth quarter. Mahomes has been outstanding in two playoff games this postseason, accounting for nine total touchdowns, zero turnovers and 106 rushing yards, in…read more

  • Marvelous second quarter spurs win

    Mahomes completed 23 of 35 pass attempts for 321 yards and five touchdowns, while also picking up 53 rushing yards on seven carries during Sunday's 51-31 AFC divisional-round win against Houston.

    Analysis: The reigning MVP orchestrated a trademark comeback effort after Kansas City fell into a 24-0 hole, joining Washington's Doug Williams as the only quarterbacks in postseason history with four TD passes in a single quarter, as the Chiefs rattled off 28 second-quarter points and a total of 41 unanswered points Sunday. With the convincing come-from-behind victory, Kansas City became the first team in NFL history to win by 20-plus points after trailing by at least 20 in a playoff game, while Mahomes…read more

  • So-so in finale

    Mahomes completed 16 of 25 passes for 174 yards, a touchdown and an interception during Sunday's 31-21 win over the Chargers. He added 21 yards on seven carries.

    Analysis: With the Chiefs scoring on a kick return and a long run, there were a diminished number of opportunities for Mahomes to make plays downfield. In fact, the Chiefs were trailing toward the end of the first half when Mahomes helped the team take the lead with a 24-yard dart to Demarcus Robinson. With a win and New England's loss, the Chiefs own the AFC No. 2 seed. They will play either the Patriots, Texans or Bills in the divisional round. Mahomes completed 60 percent of his passes in two games…read more

  • Scores three times in win

    Mahomes completed 23 of 33 pass attempts for 251 yards and two touchdowns, also rushing twice for 14 yards and another score in Sunday's 26-3 win over Chicago.

    Analysis: Mahomes turned in a strong fantasy line in large part to his three combined touchdowns as opposed to the usual large volume of passing yards. This was a result of a clear short-pass gameplan to neutralize Chicago's ferocious pass-rush defense. Mahomes did most of his damage on short and intermediate passes, only attempting one pass of more than 20 air yards over the entire contest (and it was not completed). It was the first time the star quarterback did not complete a pass over 20 yards in his…read more

  • Unfazed by snowy conditions

    Mahomes completed 27 of 34 passes for 340 yards, two touchdowns and an interception during Sunday's 23-3 win over Denver. He added 11 yards on three carries.

    Analysis: Sunday's conditions were wet and sloppy as snow moved through Arrowhead Stadium throughout the game. Coupled with a dinged-up hand, Mahomes could have been excused if he put together a clunker against the Broncos, but he put aside any such notions early with a 41-yard dart for a touchdown to Tyreek Hill to cap the Chiefs' opening drive. The junior passer routinely bought time during the game and found his weapons over the middle. He actually put together his second-best completion percentage of…read more

    Mahomes (hand) practiced fully Wednesday.

    Analysis: With the swelling in Mahomes' right hand having settled down, the star quarterback took his normal allotment of practice reps Wednesday and is thus set to suit up Sunday against the Broncos.

  • Hand feels better

    Mahomes indicated Wednesday that he's feeling better and has noticed reduced swelling in his right hand, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Mahomes added that he plans to handle a normal workload at practice Wednesday, but confirmation on that front won't arrive until later in the day, when the Chiefs release their first Week 15 injury report. The quarterback's status for Sunday's game against the Broncos doesn't appear to be in any real danger.

  • Hand injury not serious

    Coach Andy Reid relayed Monday that Mahomes' hand is okay, noting that "it's bruised up pretty good but there's no break," BJ Kissel of the Chiefs' official site reports.

    Analysis: Reid added that the Chiefs' play calling (including more run plays and shallow crossing routes) in the second half of Sunday's win over the Patriots was altered due to Mahomes' hand issue. On the plus side, both Nate Taylor of The Athletic and Adam Teicher of ESPN.com indicate that Mahomes is on track to play Week 15 versus the Broncos.

  • Getting tests done on hand

    Mahomes will undergo testing Monday after he injured his right hand in Sunday's 23-16 win over the Patriots, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The Chiefs are optimistic Mahomes will be ready for Week 15 against Denver, with initial X-rays taken Sunday evening believed to have come back negative. He played the entirety of Sunday's game, completing 26 of 40 passes for 283 yards, with one touchdown and one interception. The Chiefs have a lot to play for even after clinching the AFC West, as they're just one game behind New England for the No. 2 seed (and now own the tiebreaker).

  • Scratches out win over Pats

    Mahomes (hand) completed 26 of 40 passes for 283 yards and a touchdown with one interception in Sunday's 23-16 win over the Patriots.

    Analysis: For the third straight game, the normally prolific Mahomes was able to throw only one TD, but he appeared to injure his throwing hand on the Chiefs' first drive Sunday and seemed reluctant to attack downfield afterward. The quarterback was sent for X-rays after the game, per Adam Teicher of ESPN.com, but coach Andy Reid downplayed the issue. "We think it's okay," Reid said. With the team still fighting for a first-round bye in the playoffs, it would likely take a fairly serious injury to keep…read more

  • Surprisingly quiet in rout

    Mahomes completed 15 of 29 passes for 175 yards and a touchdown while adding 25 yards and a TD on three carries in Sunday's 40-9 win over the Raiders.

    Analysis: On a windy day at Arrowhead Stadium, the Chiefs did most of their damage on the ground with three rushing touchdowns, including Mahomes' 13-yard scamper. The quarterback has now shockingly failed to top 200 passing yards in three of his last four games, although there were extenuating circumstances for each poor performance, and they are sandwiched around a 446-yard, three-TD eruption against the Titans. Mahomes may not be able to afford another quiet outing in Week 14's road clash with the…read more

    Mahomes completed 19 of 32 passes for 182 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Monday night's 24-17 win over the Chargers. He also rushed five times for 59 yards.

    Analysis: Mahomes had a pretty tame performance by his otherworldly standards, with his 63 first-half passing yards marking a career low. He was also picked off prior to halftime, now giving him two interceptions on the season. Fortunately, he responded in the second half with a 23-yard touchdown to Travis Kelce, and his output on the ground actually marked his personal best to date. Although he's clearly over his recent knee injury and now has the bye week to rest further, Mahomes saw top wideout Tyreek…read more

    Mahomes (kneecap) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Mahomes was as productive as ever after returning from a two-game absence due to a dislocated right kneecap in last weekend's 35-32 loss to the Titans, completing 36 of 50 attempts for 446 yards and three touchdowns. Perhaps most encouragingly, Mahomes told Adam Teicher of ESPN.com that he felt great physically coming out of the contest, a sentiment supported by the quarterback's ability to take every rep during the first practice of Week 11.

    Mahomes completed 36 of 50 attempts for 446 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 35-32 loss to Tennessee.

    Analysis: Mahomes cut through a stout Titans defense during Sunday's back-and-forth affair, his first since injuring his knee in Week 7 against Denver. The talented passer extended Kansas City's lead to two scores early in the fourth quarter, going airborne within the pocket while delivering a strike to rookie Mecole Hardman for a 63-yard touchdown. Even after the Titans pulled off the improbable comeback, Mahomes responded with a 23-yard completion to Demarcus Robinson to help set up what would have…read more

    As expected, Mahomes (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Titans, BJ Kissel of the Chiefs' official site reports.

    Analysis: Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the Chiefs proceeded with extreme caution with their star QB and had "four different specialists from across the country examine" images of Mahomes' knee. It was determined that the signal-caller was ready to play and that enough time had elapsed to minimize his chances of a setback. Mahomes' return to the lineup should provide a nice boost going forward for the fantasy prospects of Kansas City's top receiving weapons -- Travis Kelce, Tyreek Hill and Sammy…read more

  • Doesn't expect to be limited

    Mahomes (kneecap), who doesn't carry a Week 10 injury designation after practicing fully all week, feels like he won't be limited physically in his slated return to the lineup Sunday against the Titans, ESPN's Adam Teicher reports. "That's what we tested out this week especially," Mahomes noted Friday. "We put me on the run, and I threw it across my body and did all the stuff I've grown to do as I've been in the NFL and my whole career. I didn't have any pain. I was still able to do it. I wanted to make sure I was able to do that before I got back on that field."

    Analysis: Mahomes hasn't suited up up since dislocating his right kneecap Oct. 17, but he's slated to start Sunday's contest, barring any unexpected setbacks, which will send Matt Moore -- who had been filling in at QB for the Chiefs -- back to a reserve role. Additionally, the return of Mahomes should boost the Week 10 (and beyond) fantasy prospects of key receiving weapons Travis Kelce, Tyreek Hill and Sammy Watkins.

  • Slated to start Sunday

    Mahomes (knee) is on track to start Sunday's game against the Titans, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Coach Andy Reid noted Friday that Mahomes -- who practiced fully this week -- will return to action Sunday "unless something happens" between now and game time. With that in mind, we'd still recommend monitoring the situation, but as things stand, Mahomes -- who suffered a dislocated right kneecap Oct. 17 -- will be back in action this weekend.

  • Continues to practice fully

    Mahomes (kneecap) was listed as a full practice participant once again Thursday.

    Analysis: That's the second straight day he's been listed as a full participant, but it's worth noting that Adam Teicher of ESPN.com previously relayed that Mahomes was again second in the QB line behind Matt Moore during Thursday's individual drills. We'll revisit Mahomes' status Friday to see how the Chiefs officially list him for Sunday's game against the Titans, but even though he's been deemed a full practice participant so far this week, the QB's Week 10 status has yet to be clarified by the team.…read more

At this stage, the Chiefs plan to increase Mahomes' workload this week and see how his knee responds, per Teicher.

  • Week 10 status TBD

    Though Mahomes (knee) is trending in the right direction, the Chiefs will continue to proceed deliberately this week while they assess the QB's chances of returning to action Week 10, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: There's an obvious downside to rushing the star QB back to action, so if there's any concerns that he's not quite ready, or might be more susceptible to a setback should he return in haste, it wouldn't surprise us to see the team err on the side of caution. Additionally, Matt Moore's solid play in relief of Mahomes makes such an approach even more feasible. We should get a better idea of Mahomes' odds of returning this weekend once it's revealed who takes first-team QB reps at practice…read more

  • Siding with caution

    The Chiefs were told by outside doctors that Mahomes (kneecap) would have a 40 percent chance of reinjuring himself if he resumed playing within 21 days of his injury, Jay Glazer of Fox Sports reports.

    Analysis: Sunday marks the 17th day since Mahomes suffered the injury, which likely factored into the Chiefs' decision to make him inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings. Matt Moore will pick up another start in Mahomes' stead, but the star quarterback could be ready to go Week 10 versus the Titans. Glazer notes that the chances of Mahomes re-dislocating the kneecap diminish to 10-to-15 percent after 21 days.

    Analysis: With Mahomes inactive Sunday, Matt Moore will draw another start at QB for the Chiefs, while Chad Henne (ankle) is slated to serve as his backup. On the plus side, Mahomes has progressed to the point where it looks like he has a realistic chance to return to action in Week 10 against the Titans.

    Analysis: Though Mahomes is progressing much faster than anticipated from his dislocated right kneecap, returning from the injury was always going to be a tough ask. With Mahomes in line to be included among the Chiefs' seven inactives Sunday, Matt Moore will garner another start. Downgrade Travis Kelce, Tyreek Hill and the rest of the Chiefs' skill players accordingly.

  • Could play in Week 9

    Mahomes (knee) has a "chance to play" Sunday against the Vikings, Ed Werder of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: This appears to counter an earlier report from Ian Rapoport of NFL Network which suggested the star quarterback was unlikely to play Sunday, although both sources emphasized Mahomes' status will depend on how well he's able to move prior to the 1 p.m. EST kickoff. Matt Moore and newly activated Chad Henne (ankle) will be available in the event that Mahomes, who dislocated his right knee cap Oct. 17, is eventually ruled out.

  • Not expected to start

    Mahomes (knee) is not expected to start Sunday against the Vikings, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Mahomes is expected to work out on the field prior to the game, but it seems unlikely the electric third-year quarterback will play Sunday, reinforced by the fact the Chiefs activated Chad Henne (ankle) from injured reserve with the intent to back up Matt Moore. While the initial timeline following Mahomes' injury waffled anywhere from two-to-five weeks of absence, it certainly appears as if the 2018 MVP is not expected to be out for a lengthy amount of time given Saturday's news.

  • Listed as questionable for Week 9

    Mahomes (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings after practicing in a limited fashion all week.

    Analysis: At this stage, there hasn't been much of an indication from coach Andy Reid whether Mahomes is truly questionable or closer to doubtful, but the reigning MVP evidently has a shot to defy the odds and suit up this weekend. Look for plenty of coverage pertaining to his status leading up to game time, which fortunately arrives at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday. In the event Mahomes is sidelined for a second straight contest, Matt Moore would garner another start.

    Mahomes (knee) remained limited at Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Per Adam Teicher of ESPN.com, Mahomes "again was second in the QB line behind Matt Moore" on Thursday.

Friday's injury report should provide clarity on that front.

  • 'Realistic shot to play' Week 10

    While Mahomes (kneecap) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Packers, the Chiefs have been pleased with his progress and believe he has a "very realistic shot to play" in the team's Week 10 game against the Titans, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Mahomes resumed practicing just six days after suffering a dislocated kneecap, an injury that was initially expected to carry a recovery timeline of 3-to-4 weeks. Based on how Mahomes has looked so far in practice, the Chiefs believe he'll be ready to return a few days before the short end of that timeline, and the star quarterback even has an "outside chance" of making it back as soon as next weekend against the Vikings.

While his progress since dislocating the patella in his right knee this past Thursday has been highly encouraging, we'd still be very surprised if he suited up for Sunday night's game against the Packers. With that in mind, the Chiefs have yet to rule the QB out for that contest, but Friday's final Week 8 injury report figures to deliver clarity on that front.

  • Listed as limited participant

    Mahomes (knee) was officially listed as a limited practice participant Wednesday.

    Analysis: The fact that Mahomes was out there at all after dislocating the patella in his right knee this past Thursday was highly encouraging, though Adam Teicher of ESPN.com relays that the star signal-caller was "fourth in the quarterback line (Wednesday) behind Matt Moore, Kyle Shurmur and Chad Henne (ankle)." On Monday, coach Andy Reid acknowledged that it would be a "stretch'' for Mahomes to play Sunday night against the Packers, and that's a notion we still hold, though it may not be until Friday…read more

  • Slated to practice Wednesday

    Mahomes (kneecap) will practice in some capacity Wednesday, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Even though Mahomes dislocated the patella tendon in his right knee last Thursday, he already appears to be making substantial progress in his recovery. Per Nate Taylor of The Athletic, the star signal-caller will attempt to throw the ball and participate in individual drills during Wednesday's practice. While Mahomes has yet to be officially ruled out for Sunday's game against the Packers, the expectation remains that he'll be forced to miss at least some time while focusing on rehab. As such,…read more

  • No timetable provided by Reid

    Coach Andy Reid acknowledged Monday that it would be a "stretch'' for Mahomes to play Sunday against the Packers, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports. "I don't think you put a timeline on this thing," Reid noted of the status of Mahomes, who dislocated the patella in his right knee this past Thursday. "You go off how he feels and what the doctors say and go with it. I don't think there's a set time, though. I know people want a time, but I don't think you can do that with this injury."

    Analysis: Though Reid won't commit to a timetable for Mahomes' recovery, we'll continue to operate under the assumption that the QB will miss time, with a return to action Week 11 still looking like a plausible best-case scenario. While Mahomes missing any action at all is bad news for both the Chiefs and his fantasy managers, trainer Rick Burkholder encouragingly noted that the signal-caller's MRI "turned out as good as we could possibly imagine.'' For now, Mahomes -- who "did extensive full therapy" at…read more

  • Team encouraged by second opinion

    The second opinion Mahomes recently received for his dislocated right kneecap "went well," but the Chiefs have yet to establish a firm timeline for the quarterback's return to game action, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports.

    Analysis: While the team has remained fairly mum on Mahomes' injury, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Sunday that the reigning MVP could return "in three weeks, if not sooner." Meanwhile, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network suggested that Mahomes' timeline has been estimated at around 3-to-5 weeks, with the signal-caller expected back no later than the Dec. 1 game against the Raiders.

  • Differing opinions on timeline

    While Ian Rapoport of NFL Network indicates that Mahomes (knee) is slated to be out three-to-five weeks, ESPN's Adam Schefter suggests that the QB "could return in three weeks, if not sooner."

    Analysis: The common thread here is that Mahomes -- who suffered a dislocated kneecap Thursday night -- will miss time. The Chiefs' Week 11 Monday night game (Nov. 18) still represents the most plausible best-case scenario for his return to action, given that Schefter also relays that the team is "expected to exercise extreme caution with Mahomes, and the time off will allow him to rest" both his knee and an ankle issue that the QB had been working through.

    Mahomes (kneecap) could be sidelined for 3-to-4 weeks, but the Chiefs will seek a second opinion on the injury before establishing a formal timeline for the quarterback's return, a source tells Sam Mellinger of The Kansas City Star.

    Analysis: In the wake of Mahomes' initial MRI revealing that he suffered a dislocated right kneecap in Thursday's win over the Broncos, varying reports have surfaced regarding a projected recovery timetable. While Adam Schefter of ESPN and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network relayed that the reigning MVP would be out for as few as three games, the Associated Press suggested Mahomes could be out for 4-to-6 weeks.

  • MRI confirms dislocated kneecap

    The MRI that Mahomes underwent confirmed that he suffered a dislocated right kneecap in Thursday's 30-6 win over the Broncos, though he avoided "significant additional damage," Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Per the report, the star quarterback will seek added opinions to be sure, but the plan is for Mahomes "to return this season after a brief absence." The team should pass down an estimated timeline for Mahomes' return in the near future, but it looks like the Chiefs will need to rely on Matt Moore for at least the next few weeks while the reigning MVP is on the mend.

  • Expected to miss time

    Mahomes, who suffered a right patellar dislocation in Thursday's 30-6 win over the Broncos, is looking at a recovery timeline of approximately three weeks in a best-case scenario, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: A precise timeline for the star quarterback's return to action will be speculative until the results of his MRI are available, with the length of his likely absence largely hinging on whether or not he suffered any ligament damage. In any case, it looks as though veteran signal-caller Matt Moore will be leading the Chiefs offense for a spell, beginning with the team's Oct. 27 tilt against the Packers.

The reigning NFL MVP suffered the injury on a QB sneak during the second quarter and was quickly ruled out from returning to the contest.

He also notably threw his first interception of the season on a deep ball into the end zone in the second quarter, ending a long streak of turnover-free play.

    Analysis: The Colts absolutely dominated the time of possession game (37:15 to 22:45), so the fact that Mahomes eclipsed the 300-yard mark for the fifth consecutive week is a testament to his gun-slinging abilities (14.6 yards per completion). The star quarterback's recent lack of touchdowns (1:0 TD:INT ratio over the last two games) is really the only criticism that can be made in what is shaping up to be another MVP-caliber season.

    Analysis: Mahomes enjoyed another terrific second quarter Sunday, dropping off a 18-yard touchdown to Demarcus Robinson and then following up with an 83-yard seed to Mecole Hardman. Mahomes had topped 1,000 yards passing for the season by halftime and is on pace for a jaw-dropping 6,373 yards to go along with 53 scores for the season, with no signs of letting up.

    Analysis: No Tyreek Hill (collarbone), no problem for Mahomes, who fired all of his TD strikes in a huge second quarter, hitting Demarcus Robinson on trips to the end zone twice and Travis Kelce and rookie Mecole Hardman once each during the barrage. All four scores went for 27 yards or longer, but the Kansas City offense was uncharacteristically quiet the rest of the game.

He didn't miss a snap and proceeded to put up a prototypical 378 yards and three touchdowns on 25-for-33 passing.

Then on his second and final drive of the night, he proceeded to lead the offense on a 12-play, 68-yard march that culminated in a field goal.

    Mahomes completed two of five passes for 11 yards and rushed once for eight yards in the Chiefs' 17-7 preseason loss to the Steelers on Saturday.

    Analysis: There'd been pregame speculation that Mahomes could play until halftime, but that wasn't anywhere close to what came to pass. The Pro Bowl signal-caller ended up logging just two series and connected with his two most important pass catchers, Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce, for his pair of completions.

    Analysis: It wasn't Mahomes' biggest fantasy performance, but that was largely due to the Raiders' inability to keep the game close. The MVP candidate reached the 5,000-yard and 50-touchdown mark with an 89-yard bomb to Demarcus Robinson in the third quarter, joining Peyton Manning as the only other QB to reach those marks in a single season.
