Chiefs HC Andy Reid Gives Injury Update on Patrick Mahomes

Patrick Mahomes is still one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. Sometimes fans take Mahomes’ miraculous run in the NFL so far for granted. In just 4 seasons, Patrick Mahomes has been an MVP, a 2-time Super Bowl finalist, and a Super Bowl winner.

Mahomes has been one of the fastest rising stars in NFL history. And now, his Head Coach has a major update about his recovery after undergoing surgery.

Kansas City Chiefs Head Coach gave a press conference recently. He addressed Patrick Mahomes getting operated on after the Super Bowl to repair some ligament damage.

Despite being photographed with a walking boot, Reid had a positive update on the former MVP. He noted that Mahomes has been doing very well and is working hard on the road to recovery.

Reid also added how difficult the entire process of recovering can be, and how well Mahomes has handled the entire situation.

“Pat’s doing tremendous, getting great flexibility in that toe. He’s worked his tail off. Not a real fun thing to do with that, it seems like a small thing but that toe is rather large and stiff before the surgery and after the surgery. So he’s really worked hard at getting that right.” (h:t- PFT)

Patrick Mahomes ready to vindicate himself this year

Andy Reid’s words will come as music to the Chiefs faithful. The franchise will be looking to avenge their disappointing setback in the Super Bowl this year. It was a bitter end to what had been a spectacular run that spanned nearly 2 seasons.

And Patrick Mahomes was crucial in their run to both Super Bowls. However, Mahomes is the one player whom no one can point a finger at for the loss against Tampa Bay.

During the Super Bowl, Mahomes was working extremely hard to get open. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers had one of the best defensive units in the NFL and made sure Mahomes had very little space.

Despite this, Mahomes managed to get open on multiple occasions and throw a defense-splitting pass. However, his wide receivers were having an off-night. Their poor showing resulted in the Chiefs not scoring a single touchdown.
