(AP) — Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is considered day to day after hurting his throwing elbow while he was getting strip-sacked by David Bailey late in the first half of Kansas City's 35-12 rout of the Jets, coach Andy Reid said Monday.Mahomes was sacked twice by Bailey in a three-play stretch Sunday. On the second one, the Jets' edger rusher chopped down on the elbow of Mahomes, causing the ball to squirt free for a fumble and leaving the two-time MVP's arm dangling at his side.Mahomes was examined on the sideline but was able to return to the game the next time Kansas City had the ball. “It was more positive than negative news on Patrick,” Reid told local reporters on a Zoom call Monday.
