KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Patrick Mahomes is scheduled for surgery on Wednesday for a toe injury that bothered the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback at the end of the season and throughout the NFL playoffs, an ESPN source confirmed.
Mahomes is expected to miss most of the off-season work with the team, but will be completely full of training camp, according to a source.
Mahomes had one of the worst statistical games of his career in the LV Super Bowl 31-9 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He was 26-of-49 for 270 yards, zero touchdowns, two interceptions and a pass rating of 52.3. Kansas City failed to score a touchdown for the first time since Muhammad started in 2018.
But, as he noted shortly after the game, he played well on the turf in the AFC Championship Game victory over the Buffalo Bills.
“I can’t say that the toe was a problem when I played two weeks ago and I played well on it,” he said. “Every time you play football, you have to fight injuries.”
The NFL Network first reported on the operation.
