Chiefs HC Andy Reid provides injury update on Patrick Mahomes

Superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes sustained an arm injury during the Kansas City Chiefs‘ Week 9 win over the New York Jets after a brutal sequence that saw the two-time MVP get crunched by opposing pass-rushers. After the play, Mahomes limped to the sideline holding his throwing arm in a scene that appeared to be totally disastrous for Kansas City’s 2026 regular-season campaign.

During his comments to the media on Monday, head coach Andy Reid confirmed that Mahomes had injured his elbow and described his status as “day-to-day,” via Chiefs Senior Team Reporter Matt McMullen.

“It was more positive news than negative news on Patrick,” Reid told reporters on November 9. “It looks like it’s just a matter of some rehab in there, getting rid of some of the soreness, and we’ll just see where it goes from there, but he’s in good spirits today. I have seen him today, so he’s in good spirits today.”

Mahomes has dealt with significant setbacks throughout his NFL career, but has mostly missed time due to lower-body injuries.

Despite his elbow injury, Mahomes managed to complete 23 of his 31 passes for 242 yards and two touchdowns without being intercepted, en route to a 35-12 victory over New York — which moved Kansas City’s regular-season record to 6-2.
