Despite seeming to favor the arm, as he tried to make throws on the sideline, Mahomes returned to the game on Kansas City's next series and threw a completion to tight end Travis Kelce.
Then he scrambled up the middle for a 7-yard gain.
This is not normal.
The game is at halftime and the expectation is Mahomes will receive further attention then before a decision on his status in the second half is finalized.
