The Kansas City Chiefs enter their last home game of the regular season with significant concerns about the health of their star quarterback, Patrick Mahomes. He continues to practice with a high ankle sprain, and his availability remains uncertain.
Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy spoke to reporters on Wednesday about Mahomes’ injury and whether the reigning Super Bowl MVP will be honest about potentially being unable to play on Saturday.
“Just for him (Patrick Mahomes) to be able to be honest with us as he goes through this. It’s all part of the game (and) we know he’s a tough kid, so we understand that, but at the same point in time, you want to be smart,” said Nagy. “I think, you know – we know our schedule this week and (it’s) a little bit of a shorter week, so there’s a balance there to that, but so far, I think his mindset is to do everything (that) he can, but at the same time, you still have to be able to see how he does throughout the week.”
Carson Wentz continues taking additional practice reps to prepare for a possible starting role against the Houston Texans. Head Coach Andy Reid and Nagy will have to make the tough choice of who to have under center on game day.
