Rather than spending their mini-bye weekend doing household chores or absorbing the performances of other NFL teams in Week 7, many Kansas City Chiefs fans spent it watching for the latest news on quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who suffered a patellar dislocation (a dislocated kneecap) during the team’s 30-6 victory over the Denver Broncos on Thursday night.
There was plenty of reason for worry in the hours after the game, but Friday’s initial news was good — and kept getting better.
By early Friday morning, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport was confirming that Mahomes had suffered a dislocated kneecap instead of a more serious knee injury.
