Patrick Mahomes, Chiefs Suffer Devastating Injury Blow After Cowboys Loss

The Kansas City Chiefs’ playoff hopes are hanging by a thread following the team’s 31-28 Thanksgiving Day loss to the Dallas Cowboys.

At 6-6, the Chiefs sit in 10th place in the AFC — 3.5 games out of the division lead and 1.5 games out of the final playoff spot with the Houston Texans and Pittsburgh Steelers both in front of them in the standings.

And if that weren’t bad enough, Kansas City got some disheartening injury news after the game that will make quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ life even more difficult.

According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, starting left tackle Josh Simmons, who exited Thursday’s game in the third quarter with a wrist injury, will likely miss some significant time.

“#Chiefs LT Josh Simmons, who impressed against the #Cowboys before exiting with an injury, suffered a dislocated and fractured wrist, sources say,” Rapoport wrote on X. “He left the stadium in a cast and is out indefinitely. MRI tomorrow, then he’ll seek opinions on treatment options.”
