If you held your breath Sunday, you can exhale a little. Chiefs coach Andy Reid confirmed Monday that the quarterback's elbow injury is minor. Mahomes, 31, hurt his throwing arm late in the first half of the win over the Jets at Arrowhead Stadium, then tested it on the sideline and went back in.

“It looks like it’s just a matter of (getting) some rehabbing in there and getting rid of some of the soreness.”
An MRI exam after the game showed an elbow strain or sprain but no significant damage, NFL Network reported. Mahomes said that once he threw the ball, he figured it was “more muscle type stuff,” though he hadn't been tested yet.
