Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has been cleared from the NFL's concussion protocol after his third consecutive day of practice and will be under center when Kansas City plays the Buffalo Bills in the AFC championship game Sunday evening.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes enters the injury tent during the second half of an NFL divisional round football game against the Cleveland Browns, Sunday, Jan. 17, 2021, in Kansas City.

The reigning Super Bowl MVP was hurt when he was tackled around the head by Browns linebacker Mack Wilson while running a quarterback option. It never appeared that Mahomes hit his head on the turf — and if he did, it was not the kind of impact that usually leads to a concussion — raising the possibility that he had actually compressed a nerve.

“We had an option play called we ran a little earlier,” Mahomes recalled Friday, “and I ran out to the right. I got hit. I tried to get up, felt my legs go out and knew that wasn’t a good thing.” He has 15 touchdowns, including three on the ground, without an interception in five postseason starts at home.

Cleared five phases of NFL concussion protocol in four days! So speedy?!

They aren't chiefs. They are racists using a Native logo.

People of colour are calling shots in USA.

Game on should be a great AFC Championship

Considering it wasn’t a concussion...

Of course he was .. NFL wants that ratings $$$$

SHOCKED!

It was a neck nerve strike. Not a concussion.

Was he even really in concussion protocol? I think Jay Glazer had it right when he said he was choked out. He never hit his head on anything

No way after that hit he looked lost. There is no way that man should be playing.

I want a second opinion, no way in hell his head isn't fogged or hazed still. I could feel my concussion for a couple of weeks and I didn't collapse when I stood up after being hurt either!

It was not confirmed as a concussion. It was the hit to his neck and the way his whole body was pulled by his head. That type of force can result in the wobbly legs. Search for Brachial stun.

Money Money Money..........always funny in the NFL.......no NFL, NBA, MLB, CFL, NCAA no betting......no funding the mob.....oh I forgot, we all pay the price since sport channel are mandatory in cable TV subscriptions.

Yay!!

Thank goodness 😅. That hit should of been a flag. And I’m a Packer fan. Slamming his head into the ground was uncalled for & dirty.

Brain damage

It broke my heart to see both Patrick and Lamar get concussions last weekend, specially in that manner

NFL couldn't go though Championship weekend without their cash cow. He'll get knocked out again in the first half from a week hit and there will be a 'discussion' about player safety Monday morning.

Brings in more money if he plays ....... for them not him

Go break a neck err a leg err good luck

🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌✨

So I guess the NFL reaffirms it is still the trashy, modern-day plantation system. Absolutely disgusted with this decision. Stopped watching a few years back, and this is total validation I made the right choice. Shame on you nflcommish

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏✨

Anyone surprised

HEY BillsMafia (Signed Raidersnation)

Put me in coach.

There’s no way that wasn’t happening

Knock the 🖕🏼 out his brains next!!!! Go after his knees or whatever it takes to end his career

Nothing like putting money ahead of this young man's health and safety. Did anyone question that he'd play after getting his bell solidly rung last weekend? No. We all knew the numbers would be fudged to ensure he played. Player safety is a joke during playoffs.

Ain't no way Mahomes was not playing.

😎👍🏈

So he can lose to Brady in the SB?

Of course he was. No way the NFL would not let him play.
