Chiefs Reportedly Had 4 Different Specialists Examine Patrick Mahomes' Knee Before Letting Him Play
By Michael Luciano
Patrick Mahomes is finally back in the saddle, officially getting clearance to suit up after going down last month with his dislocated kneecap.
Before the team cleared Mahomes to make the start against the Tennessee Titans, they sent images of his knee to four different doctors, who all unanimously agreed he was good to go.
The #Chiefs were cautious on Patrick Mahomes. How cautious? They had 4 different specialists from across the country examine the images. They were unanimous Mahomes was ready. After 21 days, the risk lowers greatly. https://t.co/Yl2nWnKsZ5

Mahomes is the franchise guy, so playing him at anything less than 100 percent should be an offense worthy of arrest.
Mahomes was leading the NFL in passing yards and touchdowns when he went down with his injury in a Thursday Night game against the Denver Broncos. While Matt Moore kept the Chiefs above water in his absence, adding the cheat code that is Mahomes into this lineup could be what vaults the Chiefs back into the championship picture.
