I say Yes... The NFL needs his presence for ratings.
Do you think he will start AND finish?... The finish assumes no hits out of the ordinary.

We Won’t know till an hour before kick
even if chiefs already know nowComment -
if you are going to bet the chiefs might as well bet now cause it will not go down if/when mahomes is named the starter. i can't see him sitting out.
i give finishing at 60/40 that he does finish. even if it is a nerve in the neck and not a concussion it can easily lead him to stumble again on a bad hit. it is not farfetched that Henne might end up in the game at some point.Comment -
leveraging everything i can get my hands on BuffaloComment -
nerve issues in the neck can be very tricky and extremely painful, impossible to say just to what extent he's sufferingComment -
lol of course he is playingComment -
Patrick Mahomes ‘feels good’ after Thursday’s practice, but remains in concussion protocolComment -
Hopefully AND In Decent health!!!!!! As a YOUNG man that's tasted the highest goal in football, no one doubts he wants to play. I and millions of others saw his eyes in that last hit, he was like a boxer that was down for an 8 count. What you know medically would not fill a thimble.Comment -
He is playing..the NFL is not concerned about anything but the money and eyes on the TV for these 2 games. He will be cleared.Comment -
The market will tell us. Right now, there's no way anyone thinks he isn't playing with the line KC -3.5. If anyone has information he's not playing, the market would quickly flip to Buffalo -3.5.Comment -
Who the fuckk is Mahommes???Comment -
The Bills are battering rams.
Chiefs are in for a real football game.Comment -
I agree with you. Two issues. Would NFL doctors take a payoff??? Like a starting pitcher in baseball, that's all the books care about for THE bet. I do believe as another poster mentioned here, the line assumes he's playing at full speed thus the - 3.5 would be flipped.Comment -
Andy Reid Shares Thursday Update On Patrick MahomesThe eyes of the NFL are on Patrick Mahomes leading up to Sunday’s AFC Championship between the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills. Mahomes has been in the concussion protocol since last weekend’s Divisional Round win over the Cleveland Browns.

On Wednesday, Mahomes participated in practice, though the Chiefs held things to a contactless walkthrough. Today, Mahomes “looked like Patrick Mahomes” during the open portion of the team’s practice, Chiefs reporter Nate Taylor said. That is always a good thing, considering just how high the standard of being Patrick Mahomes is.
“Pat looked good out there,” head coach Andy Reid said after practice today. “He’s moving around well. He feels good. It’s just important that we follow the protocol, and that’s what we’re doing.”
It seems like Mahomes is on pace to be able to return for Sunday’s game, which is good news for the Chiefs. They’ll face a hot Buffalo Bills team, which has really rounded into form in recent weeks, beating teams with huge offensive outputs, and defensive efforts.
The Kansas City Chiefs beat the Bills in Buffalo earlier this year, 26-17. The Chiefs opened as 5-point favorites for Sunday’s game, though things are down to three-points at many sportsbooks. Uncertainty in Mahomes’ status is obviously a major facet in the line shrinking.
Chiefs-Bills kicks off at 6:40 p.m. ET on Sunday night. The AFC Champion will take on the winner of the Green Bay Packers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Super Bowl LV.
