Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes is playing with an apparent injury to his left wrist.
On Mahomes’ opening touchdown pass to Travis Kelce, he was under pressure and hit on the throw. He landed on his non-throwing wrist and came up shaking out his wrist. On the ensuing drive, he came out with a lot of tape on his wrist. He also handed the ball off awkwardly on a play because he sought to use his right hand instead of his left hand.
CBS sideline reporter Tracy Wolfson reports that Mahomes will have an X-Ray on his wrist.

Thankfully the injury isn’t to Mahomes’ throwing wrist. It also didn’t stop him from marching down the field on a third scoring drive. He took a few hits on the drive too.
This is something worth monitoring given that the Chiefs have a short week of practice on deck with a Week 2 game against the Los Angeles Chargers on “Thursday Night Football.”
