Will Patrick Mahomes play today? Status update for Chiefs QB in Week 9

Patrick Mahomes continued to be listed on the Kansas City Chiefs ' injury report ahead of the team's Week 9 matchup against the New York Jets.

Is Mahomes expected to take the field at Arrowhead Stadium to face New York this afternoon?

Here is the latest update on Mahomes' status:

A lingering knee injury did not keep Mahomes from being a full participant in all of Kansas City's practice sessions this week.

The Chiefs chose not to assign Mahomes an official game status designation after he fully participated in all of the team's Week 9 workouts, so fans in Kansas City can look forward to seeing the two-time MVP under center against the Jets. He will not have to miss any time due to his knee injury.

If Mahomes is forced to the sideline in Week 9, the Chiefs will send out veteran backup Justin Fields to take the reins of Andy Reid's offense.
