The Kansas City Chiefs bounced back last week after suffering consecutive losses in Week 5 and Week 6. In the defensive stunner over the Denver Broncos, quarterback Patrick Mahomes went down early with a patella dislocation, forcing him to sit out the rest of the game. It was later determined that, although there was no extensive damage (no cartilage nor ligament damage), Mahomes would have to sit out for an undetermined amount of weeks while he recovers.
There was some hope that Mahomes would play this week against the Green Bay Packers, after being listed as a limited participant in all of the team’s practices.
