The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback practiced fully on both Tuesday and Wednesday despite suffering a mild high-ankle sprain in last Sunday&rsquo;s win over the Cleveland Browns. Unless there&rsquo;s a setback, Mahomes is expected to start.<\/p><p>This season, Mahomes has passed for 3,348 yards, 22 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions. His leadership has been key to the Chiefs&rsquo; 13-1 record, which secures them a playoff spot and puts them in contention for the AFC&rsquo;s top seed.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Mahomes playing this weekend?<\/h2><p>All signs point to yes. Mahomes participated in back-to-back full practices, signaling that his ankle responded well to treatment. When asked about his status, Mahomes said: <em>&ldquo;You have to [try] to play. That&rsquo;s the reason you play this game, to push to play. I&rsquo;m not going to put our team in a bad position.&rdquo;<\/em><\/p><p>Andy Reid described Mahomes as <em>&ldquo;day-to-day&rdquo;<\/em> but noted, <em>&ldquo;If he can go, he&rsquo;ll go. If he can&rsquo;t, then he can&rsquo;t. Keep it simple.&rdquo;<\/em><\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Latest Patrick Mahomes injury update<\/h2><p><a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/patrick-mahomes-injury-update-chiefs-qbs-ankle-not-broken-day-to-day-after-scare-vs-browns-says-andy-reid\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>Mahomes injured his ankle late in the Week 15<\/a> game against the Browns after being tackled awkwardly. The team initially feared a multi-week absence, but X-rays showed no structural damage. The injury was classified as a mild high-ankle sprain.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Chiefs?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>#Chiefs<\/a> QB Patrick Mahomes (ankle) was a full participant at practice today. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/w8LSGFsbmy\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/w8LSGFsbmy<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Ari Meirov (@MySportsUpdate) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MySportsUpdate\/status\/1869134133630472274?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>December 17, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>Mahomes practiced without visible limitations and reported that the sprain wasn&rsquo;t as severe as the one he suffered in 2023 during the Chiefs&rsquo; playoff run. Back then, he played through the injury, leading Kansas City to a Super Bowl victory.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the timeline for high-ankle sprain recovery?<\/h2><p>Recovery from a mild high-ankle sprain typically takes 2-4 weeks. Mahomes&rsquo; quick return to practice suggests he&rsquo;s aiming for the shorter end of that timeline. During the 2023 playoffs, he returned to the field just days after a similar injury, heavy ankle taping in sight.<\/p><p>While the Chiefs might consider resting Mahomes, their schedule kind of compensates things. They play three games in 11 days, including games with the Texans and Steelers. Clinching the AFC&rsquo;s No. 1 seed this week would allow Mahomes and the team additional rest before the playoffs.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What&rsquo;s at stake in Week 16?<\/h2><p>The Chiefs need two more wins to secure the AFC&rsquo;s top seed. This not only guarantees home-field advantage but also provides a crucial first-round bye. Facing Houston, Mahomes availability will be key, to say the very least.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Patrick Mahomes working yet again, see if he&rsquo;s another Full participant when injury report is released. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/mwdr0Wokkf\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/mwdr0Wokkf<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Harold R.
