But Mahomes, 28, is using week 10 to recover with the Chiefs on a bye.

They’ll get straight back to business with a Super Bowl rematch in week 11 when the Philadelphia Eagles come to town.

Mahomes suffered an ankle ‘scare’ earlier this season against the Chicago Bears.

The quarterback was fine to continue playing, but picked up a hand injury last month.

He traveled to Germany for the Chiefs’ last game in week 9 and played with tape on his non-throwing hand.

Kansas City won that game against the Miami Dolphins 21-14 in front of 50,023 fans in Frankfurt, Germany.

But Mahomes struggled to find a rhythm on offence and admitted it was only there “in spurts.”

He also battled illness ahead of the game – which possibly had an impact on a shock week 8 loss.

Kansas City was beaten by their division rival Denver Broncos on October 29.

Their next game is on Monday, November 20 against Jalen Hurts and the Eagles.

Mahomes won his second Super Bowl earlier this year when he led the Chiefs to victory against the Eagles.

Kansas City won a thriller 38-35 at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.
