- He returned and helped the Chiefs reach a 21-12 lead.
- Further tests were planned after the game.

## Summary

Patrick Mahomes appeared to injure his right elbow after a hit from Jets edge rusher David Bailey disrupted a deep-pass attempt, leaving the Chiefs quarterback on his knees in pain. He returned on Kansas City’s next possession, helping the team extend its lead, but said he would undergo further testing.

Mahomes said he did not feel great and was not throwing as he wanted after half-time, though his arm improved as the game went on. He thought the problem might involve muscle rather than a ligament, but had not yet had tests to confirm that. He said he would play if able.
