Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes Underwent MRI On Elbow

While his elbow will be monitored for pain and swelling, Mahomes should be good to go for next week, as he re-entered the game on Sunday and continued playing after taking a painful-looking hit.

After the game, Mahomes told reporters he was fine and wouldn’t have gone back in and played if he wasn’t capable.

Mahomes, 31, is a former first-round pick of the Chiefs back in 2017 out of Texas Tech. He was in the final year of a four-year, $16.4 million contract when the Chiefs picked up his fifth-year option worth $24,837,000 for the 2021 season.

Mahomes then agreed to a 10-year extension with the Chiefs worth $503 million, which was later restructured multiple times. Kansas City added two years to Mahomes’ contract to keep him signed through 2033. He will now earn an NFL-record $64 million per year. 

In 2026, Mahomes has appeared in eight games for the Chiefs and completed 67.3 percent of his passes for 2,037 yards, 14 touchdowns and four interceptions.
