After sustaining a high right ankle sprain in the fourth quarter of a victory over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes left open the possibility that he could play on Saturday when Kansas City hosts the Houston Texans.
Initially saddled with a recovery period described as week-to-week, Mahomes was listed as a full participant in practice on Tuesday and said he aims to start for the Chiefs (13-1) this weekend. However, backup Carson Wentz fully is in play.
"That's the reason you play this game is to push to play," Mahomes said. "So I'll get the work in practice and try to push it to see where I get to.
