The Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes is already suffering from injury. He sustained a high ankle sprain in the divisional round of the playoffs against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He completed that game after a brief spell in the locker room so there is little doubt that he will play in the big game.
But now, tight end Travis Kelce is apparently injured and has a back problem. Mahomes’ favorite target, especially in the red zone. And playing without him may cause more pressure on Mahomes, who might already play on one leg. The Chiefs listed Kelce as questionable for the Bengals clash.
