STACKED’s take
Mahomes' right elbow injury requires testing; early signs suggest muscle rather than ligament damage.
Mahomes suffered a right elbow injury in the second quarter against the Jets after a heavy hit from rookie pass rusher David Bailey; he fumbled on the play but returned to finish the game. Post-game, Mahomes stated he had not yet received a diagnosis and would undergo testing, though he reported feeling good immediately after the game and suspected soreness the next day. Mahomes noted that his ability to throw the ball after the injury suggested it was likely muscle-related rather than ligament damage, which he considered a positive sign. He acknowledged lingering concern from his torn ACL injury last December and emphasized the importance of managing swelling and fluid this week to be ready from the first snap next week.
