Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs got a scare on Sunday as the star quarterback suffered an ankle injury in the Super Bowl champions’ 21-7 victory over the Cleveland Browns.

Mahomes hobbled after being hit by multiple Browns defenders midway through the fourth quarter, and was helped off the field as Carson Wentz watched the game at quarterback.

“I was trying to make a play,” Mahomes said. “When I was throwing the ball I got hit, and I didn’t see it, I felt like someone hit me from behind as well, so I rolled over.

“A little bit happens in football. You try to recover, but obviously it hurt me a little bit. Now we’ll move on to the rehabilitation part and try to be ready for next week.

“Usually the next day is when you get a good feel for it. I feel like he could have finished the game under different circumstances. But I thought it was a smart decision by Carson. He’s played a lot of football and finished the match. play well.”

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported Sunday evening that X-rays on the ankle came back negative, and Mahomes is now considered week-to-week.

“Patrick, his right ankle is hurt. It’s not broken, but it’s sore,” Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said. “He’ll start on the rehab part as we go along, and then we’ll just have to see how he does along the way.”
