The Facts: While Mahomes has cleared the NFL's concussion protocol, that is not the only injury concern for the former MVP. Sources tell NFL Network's Ian Rapoport Mahomes was diagnosed with turf toe in his left foot following the Divisional Round win over the Cleveland Browns, an injury that limited his effectiveness on the field last week and during practice this week.
Diehards Line:Mahomes currently has no injury status and took almost all of the reps during the week of practice that more closely resembled a slew of walk-throughs. When he cleared protocol, his injury status was removed and he'll play vs. the Bills in the AFC Championship Game. As of now, there is not necessarily a belief that Mahomes will need surgery on the plantar plate injury. However, a source told Rapoport that he'll be re-evaluated following the season by a foot specialist to determine if he'll need surgery. ... We'll follow up on that as needed.
