Mahomes Day-to-Day With Elbow Injury After Chiefs’ Win
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is considered day to day after injuring his throwing elbow during the team's victory over the Jets, according to coach Andy Reid.
Minot Bismarck Dickinson, ND, November 9, 2026 — Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is being evaluated on a day-to-day basis following an injury to his throwing elbow. The injury occurred during the team’s recent victory over the New York Jets.
The update on Mahomes’ condition was provided by Chiefs head coach Andy Reid. Reid stated that the team is monitoring the situation closely and will determine the quarterback’s availability moving forward based on his recovery process. The exact nature of the injury and the severity were not detailed beyond its impact on his throwing arm.
Mahomes, a key player for the Chiefs, sustained the injury at some point during Sunday’s game against the Jets. While the team ultimately secured a win, the quarterback’s health is now a primary concern for the franchise and its fanbase. The status of a throwing elbow is particularly significant for a quarterback, as it is critical for passing accuracy and velocity.
Details regarding the specific play or moment when Mahomes incurred the injury were not immediately available. Information about further diagnostic tests or treatment plans has also not been publicly disclosed. Coach Reid’s assessment of Mahomes being “day to day” suggests that the injury is not considered season-ending, but it may impact his participation in upcoming practices or games. The team has not provided a timeline for his return to full action.
The Kansas City Chiefs organization typically prioritizes player health and provides updates as they become available through official channels. For now, the status of their starting quarterback remains fluid, with decisions on his availability expected to be made closer to game time or as his recovery progresses. Further information is anticipated as the team continues its evaluation.
