Patrick Mahomes Avoids Major Injury After Strain/Sprain Diagnosis

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes avoided a major injury after suffering an elbow strain/sprain to his throwing arm during Sunday's 35-12 victory over the New York Jets. Mahomes took a hit from rookie David Bailey late in the second quarter but returned before halftime to complete the win. An MRI confirmed no structural damage occurred, though team staff will carefully monitor his pain and swelling ahead of Week 10 against Atlanta.
