Patrick Mahomes Is Officially Playing Sunday, Gives Update On How He's Feeling

Patrick Mahomes announced Friday that he will play in Sunday's AFC Championship Game and that he's out of protocol and ready to go.

“I just got out of the protocol,” Mahomes said. “The week has been a bunch of testing, a bunch of different things to make sure I’m good to go and there’s no lingering effects or anything like that.

“Everything’s been good, and I went through what the three or four different doctors have said. Everything’s looked well, and I’m out of it now.”








According to those who observed practice this week, Mahomes has been with the Chiefs all week and taken a majority of the reps.

“Luckily enough, I haven’t had any symptoms, and I’m able to play," the QB added. "I just prepared myself and controlled what I could control. And luckily enough, we’re at where we’re at now.”

Mahomes completed 80% of his passes and threw for two touchdowns in a 26-17 Week 6 win over the Bills.
