I was able to get it worked on a little bit, especially at halftime, and was able to go out there and play the rest of the game.”Reid said that the injury is hopefully just one that needed rest. “It was more positive news than negative news. It looks like it’s just a matter of rehabbing and getting rid of some of the soreness.”Mahomes finished the win over the Jets with 242 yards and two touchdowns. He also ran the ball twice for eight total yards. Mahomes has played in all eight of Kansas City’s games this season. He has thrown for 2,037 yards with 14 touchdowns and four interceptions. The KC QB has added 85 yards and a touchdown on the ground. Kansas City faces the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. After that, the Chiefs have games against the Arizona Cardinals, Buffalo Bills and Los Angeles Chargers over the next month.One aspect of this injury is that the Chiefs had an early bye week this year. Kansas City had a Week 5 bye, along with the Carolina Panthers, the first possible bye week in a season. Mahomes and Kansas City will have to run the gauntlet down the stretch, with 13 consecutive games to end the year.
