Star quarterback Patrick Mahomes played against the Philadelphia Eagles but later appeared on the injury report, sparking rumors of his potential absence in the Week 3 matchup against the New York Giants. Addressing these concerns, head coach Andy Reid has spoken out about Mahomesā condition.
Patrick Mahomes reportedly experienced issues with his right wrist, causing concern among fans.

āPart of football is being able to trust in the run game whenever theyāre in the light boxes and force them to come down so we can throw some of the shots down the field. That will come together more and more as the O-line continues to jell and the running backs can gel with the O-line,ā Patrick Mahomes said, as reported by ESPN.
