The injury definitely comes at an inopportune time for the Chiefs, who just started a span of playing three games in 10 days. In the days leading up to the Browns game, Mahomes had actually complained about the fact that the NFL was forcing his team to play three games between Dec. 15 and Dec. 25.

Patrick Mahomes was brought to the ground on a pass attempt and it appeared pretty brutal. Mahomes was tackled and then bent backwards on the second hit. He limped off the field after the play and got tape on his ankle.

A concerning development for the Chiefs, especially given Mahomes's history of ankle injuries; he famously battled through a high ankle sprain to lead KC to a Super Bowl title over the Philadelphia Eagles in 2023. Before exiting, Mahomes threw for 159 yards and a pair of touchdowns against Cleveland.
