Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes injured his ankle during the fourth quarter of Kansas City’s 30-24 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Mahomes limped off the field after his touchodown pass to running back Samaje Perine. He went into the blue medical tent before reappearing on the sideline and going back into the game on Kansas City’s next offensive drive.

Here’s a look at the injury suffered by Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes. He went down awkwardly on that already-injured ankle and had to be helped off of the field.

After the game, Mahomes revealed details about his injury.

“Yeah, I rolled the ankle,” Mahomes told the ESPN broadcast after the game. “I rolled it last week and when you roll it again it never feels good. But as I got some [rest] it started feeling better. We’ve got a short week, but we’ll rehab it up and I’ll be ready to go next week.”
