After sustaining a high right ankle sprain in the fourth quarter of a victory over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes appears set to 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 aimed to start for the Chiefs (13-1) this weekend. Head coach Andy Reid indicated Thursday that Mahomes "most likely" will play.
"That's the reason you play this game is to push to play," Mahomes said earlier in the week.
