Patrick Mahomes Ready for AFC Title Test Despite Ankle Injury

Patrick Mahomes' ankle sprain may have raised questions around how the star quarterback will perform in the AFC Championship game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. His trainer, Bobby Stroupe, posted a meme on Twitter of a fake X-ray of the injury that suggested the toughness of Mahomes. After the game last Sunday, Mahomes returned to practice on Friday and told reporters that, while sore, he felt better than expected and has continued to get better throughout the week. Head Coach Andy Reid said the team's game plan is expansive enough to cater any potential limitations that may be faced. Mahomes expressed similar confidence, stating that he wasn't ready to concede that he won't be able to scramble and make plays. Despite tight end Travis Kelce being classified as questionable due to a back injury, all eyes, particularly those of the sports world, will be on Patrick Mahomes on Sunday night. His strength, agility and mobility will be tested but, with his resilience and determination, this may be the moment he proves why he is one of the top NFL quarterbacks.
