<p><strong><a href="https://www.on3.com/db/patrick-mahomes-ii-95458/">Patrick Mahomes</a></strong>, the Kansas City Chiefs star quarterback, took the field with the offense to start the second half of the AFC divisional matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Mahomes injured his right ankle early in the contest when a Jaguars defender rolled up on it.</p>



<p>Late in the first half, Mahomes begrudgingly went in to the locker room and underwent an X-ray, which came back negative according to <em><a href="https://twitter.com/RapSheet/status/1616932257138356224?s=20&t=rU0XuNs5s2v14JwqzaITng">NFL Network’s</a></em> Ian Rapoport. The injury is apparently an ankle sprain of some variety.</p>



<p>According to the NBC broadcast, the quarterback was the first player out of the locker room and back on to the field, apparently “bouncing” up the steps back to the field. When asked if he was good to go, Mahomes assented, according to sideline reporter Melissa Stark.</p>



<p>Mahomes originally tried to play through the injury but was clearly physically limited. Eventually, the Chiefs opted to pull him and evaluate the ankle. While he was sidelined, backup quarterback <strong><a href="https://www.on3.com/db/chad-henne-19579/" rel="nofollow">Chad Henne</a></strong> entered the game and lead two scoring drives that produced 10 points. </p>



<p>It was during that time when Mahomes headed to the locker room and got X-rayed.</p>



<p>The Chiefs led, 17-10, at the break, and got the ball to start the second frame.</p>

<p>Chiefs quarterback <strong><a href="https://www.on3.com/db/patrick-mahomes-ii-95458/">Patrick Mahomes</a></strong> was seen visibly angry on the sideline after being told to enter the locker room for treatment during the second quarter of the AFC Divisional Round. Mahomes was ready to enter the game and continue playing despite suffering an ankle injury in the first quarter of the game that left him limping heavily.</p>



<p>Despite his protest of the decision, Mahomes quickly jogged into the locker room for further treatment while the Jaguars were driving down the field. With Mahomes unavailable as the Chiefs took over on offense again, backup quarterback Chad Henne led the team for their first drive of the second quarter in his stead.</p>
