ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Patrick Mahomes suffered a “very small sprain of his UCL” and a muscle strain in Week 9 against the Jets.
Mahomes’ right arm was clobbered by a Jets defender while attempting to throw a pass late in the first half of Week 9. It looked like a serious issue at first, but he managed to finish the game and didn’t even miss any practice time this week. Per Schefter, the Chiefs consulted with physicians from the Rangers and Royals, who are among the world’s best doctors when it comes to shoulder and elbow injuries. Both doctors cleared him to play.
