Quarterback Patrick Mahomes has a high ankle sprain that the Kansas City Chiefs "don't think [is] bad," a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Monday.
The diagnosis was revealed through testing done Monday. The Chiefs will evaluate Mahomes through the week to determine if he has a chance to play Saturday against the Houston Texans.
The Chiefs then will face the Pittsburgh Steelers on Christmas Day, completing a stretch of three games in 11 days.
Mahomes was removed from the Chiefs' 21-7 victory over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday midway through the fourth quarter after being hit while throwing a fourth-down pass that was incomplete.
