Great news for the Chiefs fans: Patrick Mahomes delivers a positive update on his injury status
During the intense offseason that comes with winning the Super Bowl, Mahomes engaged in various activities. While that could take time away from his ankle rehab, he made sure the fanbase remains confident in his return to the best shape. His words at the press conference added more confidence to the roster because they can win any game with him as the quarterback.
“It feels great. I think even going into OTAs a little bit, I still was a little timid about running and cutting and doing stuff like that. But when I got closer to vet minicamp and the later OTA stage, I got that confidence back in my ankle. I’m sure I’m not going to be running a lot right now, but we’ll be testing it, especially in these half-gassers. So I’ll make sure that it’s ready to go. And I think I’m in a good spot with it”, Mahomes said.
