Patrick Mahomes’ Chiefs put a dagger into the Raiders’ hopes of making it to the playoffs last week. Getting the better of their divisional rivals yet again, the Chiefs move to 7-0 after 8 weeks of NFL action. But for a moment, the Chiefs Kingdom had their hearts pounding fast when they saw Mahomes injuring his ankle late in the first half.

Although he later popped up on the injury report, the Chiefs QB didn’t miss a snap last week. As he led the Chiefs from the front by finishing with 27-of-38 passes for 262 passing yards. Well, he even added two TDs, 17 rushing yards on six carries and just an interception to end his outing in Kansas City. While some Chiefs fans could have been worried about seeing their Super Bowl-winning QB added to the injury report.

To their respite, Mahomes remained a full participant in practice this whole week. However, he had his ankle wrapped up for workouts, thereby indicating some precautionary measures taken during training. But he wasn’t the only player who returned to full practice as Chiefs RB Kareem Hunt is also set to return on the field.

Suffering from a quad injury, Hunt was limited in practice before Friday’s session. This would surely be a huge boost to the Chiefs’ offense. As Hunt recorded 90 touches, 348 yards and four TDs over four games he played this season. Well, Mahomes can use his dual-threat capabilities to hurt the Bucs this week.

Considering no more last-minute setbacks if Mahomes manages to play against Baker Mayfield’s Bucs on Sunday. It would surely bring back some fond memories from the last time Mahomes and Mayfield came against each other in college.
