KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The Kansas City Chiefs tried to downplay the injury to Patrick Mahomes as the playoffs unfolded. The fact he's having surgery on Wednesday for turf toe reveals a bigger problem than they were letting on.
"We can infer there was more significant damage that resulted in some instability because Mahomes is having surgery," said Stephania Bell, a physical therapist and injury analyst for ESPN. "But as far as the extent of what tissue is damaged, we don't know and the surgeon likely won't know until he can go in and take a look at it.
