Story summary

On November 8, 2026, Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs suffered what appeared to be a serious right arm injury during a game against the New York Jets. After being hit by David Bailey, Mahomes was seen on his knees in pain and initially seemed unable to throw without favoring his elbow. Despite this, he returned to the game and completed passes, including a 7-yard gain through scrambling. He continued playing after halftime, leading a touchdown drive that gave the Chiefs a 21-12 lead. Analysts speculate Mahomes likely avoided a UCL tear, given the severity of such an injury would prevent him from throwing effectively.
