The Kansas City Chiefs have already taken some tough injury news in Week 15 as they visit the Cleveland Browns to begin the final month of the regular season. However, they held their breath when their greatest fear of all potentially materialized on the field when Patrick Mahomes went down after being hit by Browns defensive tackle Dalvin Tomlinson.

In the fourth quarter, the Chiefs and Mahomes were hoping to put together a dagger of a drive in order to extend a 14-point lead, but Tomlinson ended up landing on Mahomes in such a way that his legs ended up tangled underneath him.

Mahomes was clearly in pain as he tried to get up and he required assistance to make his way back to the Kansas City sidelines there at Huntington Bank Stadium.

From there, Mahomes was being attended to by Chiefs' trainers.

The good news is that Mahomes was able to walk around on the sidelines after taking the hit.

After suffering the scare of a potential injury for Mahomes, the Chiefs turned to Carson Wentz for the rest of the game as Mahomes was clearly in pain while limping on the Chiefs sidelines.

Given the Chiefs have a short week before playing the Houston Texans on Saturday followed by another very short week when forced to play the Pittsburgh Steelers on Christmas Day, this is a horrible time for Mahomes to struggle with some sort of ongoing injury of any kind.

The Chiefs already lost Chamarri Conner to a concussion earlier in this game after watching the young corner leave in the first half.

More updates to come as we get them from the Chiefs.
