With just a few weeks left before the start of the 2024 NFL season, more bad news has hit Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. Another teammate has suffered an injury, leaving his availability for Week 1 uncertain.
Following their preseason debut with a 26-13 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, Andy Reid‘s team continues to fine-tune their preparations for the new NFL season, aiming to secure the championship ring for the second consecutive year.
The game against the Jaguars not only ended with a negative result but also revealed a serious injury to new acquisition Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown, who could be sidelined for 4 to 6 weeks.
However, the bad news for Reid and company didn’t stop there. In recent hours, another injury to an offensive player under Mahomes’ leadership was revealed, requiring him to step up efforts to achieve positive results with a physically depleted team.
