Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes briefly leaves playoff game against Jaguars with an ankle injury; Chad Henne throws touchdown

Posted on January 22, 2023

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes suffered a lower leg injury late in the first quarter in Saturday’s divisional round playoff game.

Mahomes’ ankle appeared to roll up after he was tackled by Jacksonville Jaguars defenders. The quarterback appeared to be in pain immediately after falling to the ground.

He remained in the game but had a noticeable limp. He was replaced on the next drive by veteran backup Chad Henne in the second quarter.

The coaches wrapped Mahomes’ ankle between quarters, and he went to the locker room for another taping job after Henne went under center. The drive in which Mahomes suffered the injury ended with a Harrison Butker field goal to increase the Chiefs’ lead to 10–7.
