Okay, so Patrick Mahomes is tough as nails, and he’s ready to play this Sunday, despite that nasty high-ankle sprain he suffered last week against the Browns. Remember when he limped off the field after getting rolled up on? It looked pretty serious, but Mahomes didn’t miss a single day of practice this week.
Chiefs coach Andy Reid is amazed by Mahomes’ mental toughness, saying he’s seen this kind of grit from him before. But some folks around the league are raising eyebrows, wondering if Mahomes is really hurt or if he’s just putting on a show.
There are even some fans out there who are convinced Mahomes is faking it!
They’re pointing to the fact that he was seen standing just fine at Taylor Swift’s party recently. But let’s be real, it’s pretty hard to believe Mahomes would fake an injury, especially after he had to leave the game last week and Carson Wentz had to step in.
Look, Mahomes has become a bit of a villain in the NFL, and some people just love to hate on him. They’re always looking for a reason to criticize him, and this injury situation has given them some ammunition.
Ultimately, we’ll see how Mahomes looks on Saturday against the Texans. If he’s not moving like his usual self, that should silence the doubters. But knowing Mahomes, he’ll probably find a way to play at a high level, even with a bum ankle. This guy is a competitor, and he’s not going to let a little pain stop him from leading his team.
