Patrick Mahomes' left ankle injury is under scrutiny as the Kansas City Chiefs prepare for a busy schedule. Following a victory over the Cleveland Browns, Mahomes participated fully in practice, signaling a positive recovery. However, with a game against the Houston Texans on Saturday, his recovery time is limited.

Mahomes sustained the injury during a fourth-quarter play and was unable to return. If he cannot play, Carson Wentz will start in his place. The Chiefs face a tight schedule, playing three games in ten days, which adds urgency to Mahomes' recovery.
