Patrick Mahomes Announces Retirement After Severe Injury**

In a shocking turn of events, Patrick Mahomes, star quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs, has officially announced his retirement from the NFL due to a severe injury. The announcement came just minutes ago, leaving fans and the sports world in disbelief.

Mahomes, who led the Chiefs to multiple championships and earned numerous accolades throughout his career, cited his ongoing struggles with the injury as the primary reason for his decision. While the specifics of the injury have not been disclosed, sources close to the team suggest it has taken a significant toll on his ability to perform at the highest level.

The news has sent shockwaves through the football community, as Mahomes was widely considered one of the best quarterbacks of his generation. His retirement marks the end of an era for the Chiefs, who will now face the challenge of filling the void left by their franchise player.

More updates on Mahomes’ future plans and the impact on the Chiefs’ roster are expected in the coming days. Fans and teammates alike are mourning the loss of one of the NFL’s brightest stars.

Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes cleared to play, ‘most likely’ starting vs. Texans, says Andy Reid

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is expected to start Saturday’s game against the Houston Texans at Arrowhead Stadium, according to head coach Andy Reid. Patrick Mahomes suffered a high ankle sprain during last week’s 21-7 win over the Cleveland Browns but has shown significant progress in practice.

Patrick Mahomes returns to full practice

Mahomes was a full participant in practices throughout the week, with Reid confirming his readiness. “He did look good out there,” Reid said.

“He moved around pretty good. So, you’re always looking to make sure they can get out the way, not to further any harm to them. I’ve been through it with him before, and he amazed me every time he does it.”

Wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins also commented on Mahomes’ form, saying, “Like he always does.”

Mahomes expressed confidence about playing. “You have to push it. That’s the reason you play this game, is to push to play. I’m not going to put our team in a bad position. If I feel I can play and go out there and win, I’ll play.”

Chiefs’ playoff implications

The Chiefs, sitting at 13-1, can secure the AFC’s No. 1 seed with a win against the Texans (9-5) and a Buffalo Bills (11-3) loss or tie against the New England Patriots.

A healthy Mahomes boosts their chances, but Carson Wentz remains ready to step in if needed. Wentz replaced Mahomes late in the game against Cleveland and would start if there are setbacks.

Injury updates for the Chiefs

Left tackle D.J. Humphries has been ruled out due to a lingering hamstring issue. Joe Thuney, primarily the team’s left guard, filled in at left tackle against the Browns. The Chiefs have shuffled their lineup in Humphries’ absence, previously relying on Wanya Morris and rookie Kingsley Suamataia, who were benched at various points this season.

Potential debut for Marquise Brown

Reid hinted that wide receiver Marquise “Hollywood” Brown might make his season debut this week. Brown, recovering from a shoulder injury, was listed as a full participant in Wednesday’s practice. His return would add another dynamic weapon to the Chiefs’ offense.

The Chiefs’ matchup against the Texans could be crucial for their playoff positioning, and all eyes will be on Mahomes’ performance following his injury.
