Patrick Mahomes injury update: Latest news on Chiefs QB's status in Week 15 game image

The Kansas City Chiefs have an injury concern with quarterback Patrick Mahomes in the second half of the Week 15 game against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Mahomes got shaken up in the fourth quarter and was clutching at his leg after going down following a play.

He was grabbing at his left knee and was in obvious pain.

He has now been replaced by backup quarterback Gardner Minshew, so for now it doesn't look like Mahomes is coming back into the game.
