The Kansas City Chiefs have a record of 2-2 heading into the team’s Week 5 matchup against the Jacksonville Jags on Monday, October 6, but it almost seems like their record is better, because they have momentum on their side. Even though the Kansas City Chiefs‘ season got off to a rocky start, at 0-2, they totally blew out the Baltimore Ravens last weekend and pulled off a 37-20 win.

So, things are looking up for the Chiefs, and quarterback Patrick Mahomes seems ready to take on the Jags. The only thing that could really take the Chiefs down at this point would be come unexpected injuries, whether they’re for Mahomes or another one of the team’s starters.

Well, as it turns out, Mahomes actually showed up on the Chiefs’ injury report on Thursday, October 2. So, let’s get into the report and what this means, if anything, for the team’s game on Sunday against Jacksonville.

Patrick Mahomes is on the Kansas City Chiefs’ Injury Report

Mahomes was named on the Kansas City Chiefs‘ injury report released on Thursday ahead of the team’s Week 5 matchup against the Jags on Monday Night Football. According to the report, he’s dealing with a groin injury. Previously, he appeared on Kansas City’s injury reports due to an injury to his right wrist.

But, the good news is that even with the groin issue, Mahomes was a full participant in the Kansas City Chiefs‘ workouts on Thursday. Also, right now, it doesn’t seem as if Mahomes will be forced to miss any time with this injury. If, for some reason, the groin injury gets worse in the next few days, the Chiefs‘ only other active quarterback on the roster is Gardner Minshew.
