Patrick Mahomes‘ knee has taken a lot of attention on social media. During Sunday Night Football against the Houston Texanscameras continued to catch Patrick Mahomes on the bench with a heating pad wrapped around his right knee every time he came off the field.

SM Highlight tagged the clip to X and it quickly turned into a mini-mystery. There was no injury announcement in the game, and Kansas City Chiefs did not list Mahomes on the Week 14 injury report leading into the matchup.

Still, it was impossible not to notice. Mahomes started off a little more cautious earlier, favoring quick throws and checkdowns while testing the Texans’ defense. According to ESPN’s box score, he settled down as the game wore on, finishing the first half completing a solid portion of his passes and leading in multiple tackles, even if the explosive plays were hit or miss by his standards.

A heating pad can be nothing but maintenance. December football is a war of attrition, and Mahomes has dealt with lower-body issues before, including a knee scare in 2019 and a high ankle sprain saga during the 2022 playoffs. Quarterbacks, especially those who live out of the pocket, do what they can to keep their wrists warm on a cold night.

The The Chiefs have already lost left tackle Vania Morris to a gruesome knee injury in the first offensive game against Houston, thinning out an offensive line that had been crowded all year. Any hint that Mahomes could be less than 100 percent adds to the anxiety around a team trying to get back into the AFC race.

So far, there is no official information on Patrick Mahomes’ knee injury.
