KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Patrick Mahomes is due to undergo surgery Wednesday for the turf toe injury that bothered the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback at the end of the season and throughout the playoffs of the NFL, a source confirmed to ESPN.
Mahomes is expected to miss most of his off-season job with the team, but to be thoroughly in training camp, according to a source.
Mahomes enjoyed one of the worst statistical games of his career when the Chiefs lost 31-9 in Super Bowl LV to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He was 26 of 49 for 270 yards, zero touchdowns, two interceptions and a 52.3 passer rating. Kansas City failed to score a touchdown for the first time since Mahomes became a starter in 2018.
But, as he noted shortly after the game, he performed well with the turf toe in the AFC Championship game win over the Buffalo Bills.
“I can’t say the toe was a problem when I played two weeks ago and played well on it,” he said. “Every time you play football you have to fight injury.”
NFL Network first reported news of the surgery.
