SAD NEWS: He Might Never Play Again Doctor Says As Kansas Chiefs Star Suffers Terrible……
The Kansas City quarterback had flu-like symptoms before losing a fumble and throwing two interceptions in a 24-9 loss to the Denver Broncos.
“I’m feeling perfectly fine,” Mahomes said Friday at a news conference after the defending Super Bowl champions landed in Frankfurt and held a practice. “It was kind of just that night and a little bit that next day. I kind of got back pretty quickly.”
Mahomes also sustained a cut on his left hand. But he said he’s not worried about it ahead of Sunday’s game.
“The hand is fine, just have to cover it up for some practices. But I don’t think I’ll have much of anything on it for the game,” he said.
The Chiefs had key drops and five turnovers in the loss to the Broncos.
“You find that stuff, you correct it, you talk about it with your coaches and your teammates and then you move on,” Mahomes said. “The NFL is a long season. That stuff happens.”
Running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire did not make the trip because of an illness.
Chiefs coach Andy Reid said they have done the Friday arrival — the Dolphins came to Frankfurt on Tuesday to get acclimated — twice before and won both games, one in London and another in Mexico City.
“The guys seemed to respond to it,” Reid said. ”Every team is different in how they go about it.”
Tight end Travis Kelce wasn’t worried about jet lag.
