Andy Reid says Patrick Mahomes is day-to-day with a right elbow injury

Patrick Mahomes is day-to-day with an injury to his right elbow, Kansas City coach Andy Reid said Monday. Mahomes was at the team facility Monday morning for treatment after getting hurt in Sunday's 35-12 win over the New York Jets.

"It was more positive news than negative news on Patrick," Reid said, according to ESPN. "It looks like it's just a matter of [getting] some rehabbing in there and getting rid of some of the soreness."

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported that Mahomes checked out OK and that an MRI after the game did not show any major injury.

How it happened

Late in the second quarter, Jets rookie edge rusher David Bailey hit Mahomes' throwing arm as he released a pass, and Will McDonald IV and Darrell Jackson Jr. also got to him on the play. Mahomes grimaced on the turf but flexed the elbow on the sideline, threw a few warmup passes and did not miss an offensive snap.

"If I'm able to play, I'm going to play," Mahomes said after the game.

He finished 23 of 31 for 242 yards and two touchdowns, but Next Gen Stats had him at 2.8 air yards per attempt, the second-lowest figure of his career, ESPN reported. Kenneth Walker III ran for 102 yards and three touchdowns, and the 6-2 Chiefs snapped a two-game losing streak.

Reid said he did not know whether Mahomes would take full reps in this week's three practices. "We'll see where he's at [Wednesday]," he said. Kansas City plays at Atlanta on Sunday.
