Andy Reid Update on Patrick Mahomes Hand Injury Doesn't Sound Great
By Scott Rogust
The Kansas City Chiefs finally conquered their demons in the form of the New England Patriots on Sunday afternoon, but it didn't come easily. During the early goings of the game, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes suffered an injury to his throwing hand.
After the win, Mahomes revealed he'd be receiving an x-ray because his hand "didn't feel great."

Mahomes' discomfort was obvious as the game progressed. In fact, head coach Andy Reid said that the third-year signal caller had a hard time getting a grip on the football. When watching the game, you can see his passes didn't have the same zip as it had in previous contests.
This isn't the first concerning injury that Mahomes has suffered in 2019. Earlier in the year, Mahomes suffered a dislocated knee cap against the Denver Broncos in Week 7. Luckily for him, it only forced him to miss two games.

Even with the hand discomfort, Mahomes completed 26-of-40 pass attempts for 283 yards, one touchdown, and one interception.
While the Kansas City Chiefs can celebrate yet another AFC West title, they will be waiting on Patrick Mahomes' x-ray results with bated breath.
