Though he was able to grit his teeth and play through some pain in Kansas City’s Week 17 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, Mahomes is still listed on the Chiefs’ injury report. Will Mahomes’ ankle injury affect his ability to participate in Kansas City’s Week 18 matchup against the Denver Broncos?

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was inactive on Sunday against the Denver Broncos in Week 18. The Chiefs rested numerous starters for the game after previously clinching the No. 1 seed in the AFC and a first-round bye in the playoffs. As a result, the outcome was meaningless for Kansas City.

The Chiefs will start backup Carson Wentz at quarterback on Sunday in Denver in a game that means nothing to Kansas City, which has already clinched the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoffs, but could mean everything to the Broncos.
