Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes practices again, signs point to start vs. Texans

Patrick Mahomes was a full participant in practice Wednesday, taking all of his usual reps for the second consecutive day to mute conversations about the Chiefs’ quarterback sitting out Kansas City’s game Saturday against the Houston Texans.Mahomes hurt an ankle in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s win at Cleveland but said Tuesday his dedicated treatment plan was paying off.Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy took a cautious angle on Wednesday saying the workouts the past two days were light in comparison to usual practices because of the shorter week and games four days apart. The Chiefs (13-1) play Christmas Day — Wednesday — at Pittsburgh.”I thought for him, it’s a lighter day for us with the schedule that we have. So I thought, all things considered, he did well,” Nagy said.Head coach Andy Reid outlined a plan for making decisions on player gameday participation later this week. That includes Mahomes and possibly wide receiver Hollywood Brown, who hasn’t played since a training camp shoulder injury forced him to injured reserve in September.Mahomes and the Chiefs can clinch the No. 1 seed in the AFC with a win over the Texans and a Buffalo Bills’ loss or tie against the Patriots.
