No painkilling shot for Patrick Mahomes, despite ankle injury

_HfKGY82gfxT
Mike Florio and Peter King outline what’s on the line in the AFC Championship beyond a ticket to the Super Bowl, particularly as it pertains to Joe Burrow and Patrick Mahomes’ reputations.

Eight days ago, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes suffered a high ankle sprain. He has healed well enough to not need a painkilling injection.

Tract Wolfson of CBS reported just before kickoff that Mahomes did not receive an injection prior to the AFC Championship against the Bengals.

She added that Mahomes had treatment for four to five hours each day, since suffering the injury against the Jaguars in the divisional round.

We’ll find out soon how he looks.
