Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes got up shaking his right hand after taking a hit in the first half of Sunday’s game against the Patriots and his next pass was wobbly enough to create concern that he might have to come out of the game.

Mahomes never did come out of what turned out to be a 23-16 win and head coach Andy Reid said after the game that he could tell Mahomes “wasn’t gripping all that well” after picking up the injury. Mahomes said it impacted his throws on deep balls, but that he didn’t consider making way for Matt Moore.

Mahomes admitted it doesn't feel great but "it's something you play with" the story went on to say. This is something to keep an eye on this week and we'll likely know more based on practice reports. Moore would get the start if Mahomes can't go, and may be worth picking up if you're in deeper leagues where QBs aren't always available.

"The knee is feeling fine," Patrick Mahomes said afterward. "Just how we expected going into the game.

"I trust in [his doctors and trainers], and they told me I was ready to go. ... I had full confidence I was going to be able to play this game."

He missed the previous two-and-a-half games after dislocating his right knee but finished 36-of-50 for 446 yards and three touchdowns.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes will return to the starting lineup Sunday against the Titans “unless something changes”, reports Adam Schefter.

There doesn’t seem to be anything that would change between now and Sunday. Mahomes has looked ready all week, so at this point, it would be an upset if he does not play Sunday. It will be great to see the reigning MVP back in action.
