It looks like a dislocated patella, which may also mean a torn ligament (depending on severity). If the ligament is torn, it will require surgery as the knee cap will move around and be very unstable. If he has surgery, he will be out for 8-10 weeks at a minimum. If no torn ligament, he can come back with a brace in a few weeks. He was hurt on a simple QB sneak too, but he couldn't bend his leg. The Madden Curse is for real.

You hate to see injuries to any player, but this actually hurts the Bears as KC plays GB next week, then MIN the following week. It is highly unlikely that Mahomes will play in either of those games, making KC pedestrian at best. 

On the other side, Denver looked like absolute garbage. I am surprised Fangio has not gotten fired yet. Even though it's not his fault, that offense is terrible. Flacco should be called Sacco for all the sacks he took. At least Bolles should've surpassed Leno for the most penalties after tonight's game.

Damn GB gets every break imaginable...   That Karma pendulum should be a b!tch when it finally swings against them...

For real!!!!  

As far as Karma I think that was last year 

The season is long.   We likely lost a playoff game last year because of Eddie Jackson's injury.  This year our bad luck showed up early.  Some good things showed up early too....like a kicker, some good depth on the Dline, and some good depth on the Oline in the form of Coward.  He played well against the Vikings and that's a stout defensive front.  We should be optimistic right now with this change.    

AZ, many people forget that EJack didn't play against PHI. The defense would've been better with him on the field.

Pineiro is no longer listed on the injury report, Nichols is back, so the only major injuries are Hicks and Long. Long was a liability on the field, so that should be seen as addition by subtraction. Now if the line can get slightly better, Leno can reduce his penalties, the overall offense should look a little smoother going forward. If Miller is healthy without a harness, he is going to be the weapon like he was last year. Burton has had two weeks to heal more, Shaheen as well. So we need to come out of this bye like bat out of hell.

On a side note, this injury to Mahomes, even though the team is optimistic, is not good. A few players have had it and never seem to be the same. The kneecap becomes unstable and can pop out at any time. He will more than likely have to wear a brace permanently and will probably still need surgery in the off season. 

There seems to be one ligament that gets torn when you dislocate your knee cap, there is another one that is worse if torn and its believed that Mahomes didn't tear any of the bad ones. So that's good for him. 

So KC is going to have a decision to make on what to do with Mahomes, and the same goes for Mahomes. I am sure the team wants him back as soon as possible, but he has to take his long term health into consideration. If he is going to need surgery in the offseason, and need 6-8 months to rehab, do you do that now and make sure he is 100% for the next 15 years, or do you risk further injury this season and also risk the injury affecting next season if you want to have surgery in Jan-Feb?

I assume KC would like to trade Mahomes for Trubisky straight up right now.

He wouldn't pass a physical lol

well that's just in usual trade language, in this one, you'd be trading his rights.

But Trubisky would need to pass one!

Anyway, I'm just joking. It's an interesting idea on cold heartless value, but no human beings would ever really consider it.
