Patrick Mahomes is out of concussion protocol, clearing the way for him to start in this Sunday’s AFC Championship against the Buffalo Bills.
Mahomes said Friday that he’s felt fine as he’s gone through a week of testing and evaluation.
"I had a bunch of testing and a bunch of different things just to make I'm good to go and to make sure there's no lingering effects or anything like that," Mahomes said. "Everything has been good. I've gone through what the 3-4 different doctors have said. Everything looks good, and I'm out of it now."
Mahomes’ toe had also been bothering during last Sunday’s game, but he says that’s gotten a lot better as well.
"It was a little sore right after the game," Mahomes said, "but it's gotten a lot better every day since."
Running back Le’Veon Bell (knee) and linebacker Willie Gay (ankle) did not practice Friday. Gay has been ruled out for Sunday's game, while Bell is questionable.
Receiver Sammy Watkins (questionable) and running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (questionable) practiced and had a decent day, according to coach Andy Reid.
"The injured guys have all looked good," Reid said. "They've moved around. With Clyde, he's done a nice job. He's been running around and doing a good job."
The Chiefs and Bills kick off this Sunday in the AFC Championship game at 5:40 central with coverage starting at 4 on KFEQ (680 AM, 95.3 FM).
The Bills are seeking their first ever Super Bowl win and their first Super Bowl appearance since 1994.
The Chiefs look to get into back-to-back Super Bowls for the first time in franchise history.
