Patrick Mahomes injury update: Chiefs QB (ankle) replaced by Carson Wentz

The Kansas City Chiefs got a scare after Patrick Mahomes came up limping following a fourth-and-3 incompletion in the fourth quarter of their Week 15 game against the Cleveland Browns.

Mahomes took the snap and tried to move around the pocket to create more time during the play. Ultimately, his protection collapsed in on him, and he had to jump while he threw the ball.

The pass skipped in front of his intended receiver, but more importantly, Mahomes was very slow to get up on the play. He took a long time to get to his feet before heavily favoring his left leg while going to the sideline.
