Patrick Mahomes concussion: Could he be ready to play vs. Bills?

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes left Sunday’s divisional playoff game against the Cleveland Browns in the third quarter due to a concussion, and he didn’t return. The Chiefs won, and will face the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, but it might be without Mahomes.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported on Monday morning that Mahomes has entered the NFL’s concussion protocol. Head coach Andy Reid confirmed in a video call with reporters that Mahomes was in the protocol, but he doesn’t know at what step. The decision to play in the AFC championship game will be made by doctors, he said.
