- Reid says the news is more positive than negative.
- Justin Fields could step in if Mahomes misses time.

## Summary

Patrick Mahomes is day to day after hurting his right elbow in the Kansas City Chiefs’ win over the New York Jets. Coach Andy Reid said the initial assessment was “more positive than negative”, with rehabilitation and easing soreness the main concerns; the update matters because Mahomes is central to the Chiefs’ strong start.

Mahomes was hurt when Jets rookie David Bailey hit his throwing arm late in the first half, forcing a fumble, but he stayed in the game and finished with 242 passing yards and two touchdowns. He has 2,037 yards, 14 touchdowns and four interceptions this season as the Chiefs sit at 6-2. Justin Fields would be the likely replacement if Mahomes misses time; Mahomes returned for Week 1 after off-season surgery to repair torn ACL and LCL ligaments.
