Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes sustained an ankle injury in the fourth quarter of a 21-7 win over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday and was replaced by veteran signal-caller Carson Wentz.
Mahomes got caught up under Cleveland defensive tackle Dalvin Tomlinson after firing an incompletion with 7:57 left in the game. He hobbled off the field and had his ankle taped on the sideline before Kansas City said he was questionable to return.
However, Mahomes never did, finishing the day with 159 yards and two touchdowns on 19-for-38 passing.
Since the Chiefs were leading 21-7 at the time of the injury, it is unknown if Mahomes was really unable to continue playing or if Kansas City made the change under center for precautionary reasons.
Wentz threw only two passes, completing both for 20 yards.
In 14 games (all starts) this season, the 29-year-old Mahomes has completed 66.7 percent of his passes for 3,348 yards, 22 touchdowns and 11 interceptions.
The Chiefs improved to 13-1 with the win on Sunday and have a busy schedule coming up. They will face the Houston Texans on Saturday, then travel to Pittsburgh for a meeting with the Steelers four days later.
