The words that Kansas City Chiefs fans everywhere were terrified to hear have come to pass – MVP quarterback Patrick Mahomes is injured and will not be returning to today’s divisional round playoff game against the Cleveland Browns.
#Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes (concussion) will NOT return to today's game. Will be Chad Henne the rest of the way for KC.

In his place, former Michigan Wolverines quarterback Chad Henne will be getting a chance to show his stuff.

After attempting to convert on a third-and-inches, Mahomes was noticeably struggling to get back to his feet, and was able to walk to the sidelines despite a noticeable limp.
He was already being evaluated for a foot injury earlier in the game.
