QB chiefs Patrick Mahomes and CB Bashaud Breeland remain in the NFL concussion protocol, working in practice on a limited basis, but also improving.

“The guys who are in the concussion protocol, which is Breeland and Mahomes, were limited in what they did,” Reid told reporters Thursday. “But look, they all did a good job. That was the important thing that we went through today.”

Reid said Mahomes took “the majority” of the shots of the QB starting today in practice.

“Pat looked good over there,” said Reid. “He did a good job, when he did. Looks like he’s moving well. He feels good. It’s just important that we follow the protocols and that’s what we do.

Everything suggests that he is approaching the conclusion of the protocols to return to the NFL participation.

“He looks like Pat to me,” CEO Eric Bieniemy told reporters with a chuckle. “He was great in the meetings. He’s fun, he’s energetic. You can always count on Pat as Pat. “

On the non-Mahomes front, Chiefs RB Le’Veon Bell suffered swelling in his left knee during practice on Wednesday. He was held out of practice today because of this. He only had 11 shots against the Browns in the divisional round. Other than this addition to the injury report, everything remains status quo as of Wednesday. Attending Friday’s practice will likely determine the status of the game for a number of players including Sammy Watkins, Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Rashad Fenton.
