Patrick Mahomes Addresses His Ankle Injury Ahead of Super Bowl

The Kansas City Chiefs will rely on Patrick Mahomes to lead them to a Super Bowl victory, and many are wondering if he’ll be on top of his game in the face of a recent ankle injury. Mahomes recently discussed his recovery and said he’ll rely on adrenaline to help him power through the game on Sunday. The Chiefs quarterback sustained a sprain during the divisional rounds, but that didn’t stop him from leading his team past the Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC Championship game. He’s heading to his third Super Bowl in four seasons on Sunday, and he’s hoping he’ll fully recover by game day. "I definitely can move around better than I was moving last week or two weeks ago. So just trying to continue to get the treatment and the rehab, to get to as close as I can to 100% and then rely on some adrenaline to let me do a little bit extra when I’m on the field,” said Mahomes. The Chiefs' head coach Andy Reid echoed his statement, saying he’s been doing pretty well and that he can do just about everything in the game plan that they’ve asked him to do. The Kansas City Chiefs will face the Philadelphia Eagles at Super Bowl LVII, taking place on February 12, at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.
