The most talked about ankle in the world got some more press on Wednesday.
Kansas City Chiefs HC Andy Reid was the first to get a question about the ankle. After informing media members that he doesn’t drink coffee, Reid was asked what he’d need to see from Mahomes to feel comfortable with where Mahomes is at in his recovery.
“He’s been doing really well with his ankle,” Reid said. “We had a fast practice a couple of days ago and he moved pretty well. He can really do just about everything. So, at least everything in the game plan that we’ve asked him to do. I think he’ll be fine today.”
As for Mahomes, he remained consistent in his answers from opening night and Tuesday.
“Yeah, I don’t think you’ll know exactly until you get to game day,” Mahomes said. “I’m definitely in a better spot. I’m definitely moving around better than I was last week or two weeks ago. And so, it’s just trying to continue to get the treatment and the rehab and get as close as I can to 100 percent and rely on some adrenaline to give me a little extra when I’m on the field. It’s going to be definitely better, more mobile, I’ll be able to move around better for sure.”
It appears that Mahomes is getting better each and every day. He expects that so long as he has no setbacks and continues to do his treatment and rehab work, he’ll be in a better spot this week. At the same time, he’s hesitant to put any specific percentage number on it until he gets out on the field at State Farm Stadium.
“We’ll see on game day how close to 100 percent I can be,” Mahomes concluded.
