Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is expected to be available for the team’s Week 10 clash against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, November 15, after making a positive recovery from a right elbow injury. The 31-year-old was a full participant in practice on Wednesday and Thursday, with the latest NFL injury report also listing him as a full participant and showing no game-status designation.
The update comes days after Mahomes injured his throwing arm during the Chiefs’ 35-12 victory over the New York Jets in Week 9. The quarterback briefly received medical attention but returned to the field and completed the game.
Kansas City, which enters the matchup with a 6-2 record, will travel to face a Falcons side that stands at 3-6. Mahomes’ availability is an important boost for the Chiefs as they look to continue their campaign.
