Patrick Mahomes: Ankle is in better place than it was last week

Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes gave a positive update on the state of his ankle on Monday.

Mahomes injured his ankle in the team’s Week 15 win over the Browns, but was a full participant in practice all last week before playing in Saturday’s 27-19 win over the Texans. Mahomes was 28-of-41 for 260 yards and a touchdown through the air while also running for a touchdown in the win and he said on Monday that he’s feeling stronger than he did coming out of the Cleveland game.

“I think I’ll be in a better place ankle-wise,” Mahomes said, via Adam Teicher of ESPN.com. “Obviously the body’s going to be sore just with a short week and everything like that, but I think the ankle should be in a better place. We’ll see in practice, but as far as how I felt after this game compared to the one before, I’m definitely in a lot better place.”

Mahomes and the Chiefs will get an extended break after facing the Steelers on Wednesday and a win in that game will make them the top seed in the AFC playoffs, so any injured players could be looking at a lot of time to rest up heading into the postseason.
