On the first play after the fourth quarter’s two-minute warning in the Kansas City Chiefs’ loss Sunday to the Los Angeles Chargers, quarterback Patrick Mahomes took a shot to his left knee and stayed on the field.

Mahomes had been on all three injury reports this week with a knee ailment, although he practiced fully and had no game designation for the contest.

The quarterback was able to get off of the field and limp to the sideline. However, he was then seen being assisted as he walked up the tunnel to Kansas City’s locker room.

Mahomes navigated even more offensive line injuries on Sunday with tackle Jaylon Moore — already filling in for starting right tackle Jawaan Taylor — left the game with a knee injury of his own. That left Mahomes with undrafted rookie Esa Pole manning the left side while International Player Pathway player Chu Godrick filled in on the right.

More to come.
