Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes participated in practice Wednesday, three days after injuring his left ankle in the team’s season opener.
“Right now, he feels pretty good,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said, via TheAthletic.com.
Mahomes sustained the injury in Sunday’s 40-26 win over Jacksonville after getting sacked by defensive end Yannick Ngakoue. The reigning NFL MVP didn’t miss a play as he was able to have his ankle taped while emotions boiled over between the teams, with the fracas resulting in the ejection of Jaguars linebacker Myles Jack.
Mahomes, who turns 24 next week, finished 25 of 33 for 378 yards and three touchdowns for the Chiefs (1-0), who visit Oakland (1-0) on Sunday.
Mahomes threw for 50 touchdowns and 5,097 yards last season, his first as the Chiefs’ starting quarterback. He averaged 318.6 yards per game passing and completed 66 percent of his passes.
