Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes left Sunday’s loss to the Los Angeles Chargers with under two minutes remaining due to an apparent left knee injury.
Mahomes was scrambling outside of the pocket when he was taken down from behind by the Chargers’ Da’Shawn Hand. He remained on the turf grabbing his left knee before he was replaced by Gardner Minshew.
The Chiefs trailed 16-13 and possessed the ball near midfield at the time of the injury. Minshew’s fifth pass attempt in relief of Mahomes was a game-ending interception.
Mahomes completed 16 of 28 passes for 189 yards and opened the scoring in the first quarter with a 12-yard rushing touchdown.
