Reid Coy About Mahomes Status

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Chiefs are preparing for the AFC Championship Game against the Cincinnati Bengals as if Patrick Mahomes will play.

But coach Andy Reid said Monday the Chiefs aren’t certain whether they will be able to go with Mahomes or have to use veteran backup Chad Henne at quarterback on Sunday.

Mahomes suffered a high ankle sprain in Saturday’s divisional round win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The Chiefs’ first practice this week is on Wednesday. Reid said he wasn’t sure whether Mahomes would be available to work then.
