Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes spoke with reporters on Wednesday about his progress after suffering a right elbow injury last Sunday.
“You can feel as optimistic as you do, but then you get in there, and something happens,” said Mahomes. “And so, obviously, after talking to the doctors and stuff like that, I feel like I’m in a great spot. Now it’s just about pain and pain management and stuff like that, which I’ll try to do whatever I can to be in the best place possible.”

The two-time league MVP admits there is still a lot of work in the building and at home to make sure he’s healthy enough on Sunday.
“I’ll be able to be out on the practice field, throw the football, and do all that different types of stuff,” said Mahomes. “We’ll continue this process throughout the entire week so I can be 100 percent on Sunday, whenever we get to Atlanta. So, it’s a process, a lot more time in the building. But that’s something that I’m willing to do.”
Mahomes has completed 177 of 263 passes (67.3%) for 2,037 yards, 14 touchdowns, 4 interceptions, and a 101.8 passer rating entering this Sunday’s game.
