GLENDALE, ARIZONA: Patrick Mahomes appeared to be injured and in pain during the Super Bowl 2023 game. He had reportedly already been suffering from an ankle sprain. Shortly before the halftime show, he was seen limping off.
NFL insider Tom Peliserro said that after getting injured, Mahomes went to the bench and was examined by medical personnel, according to Mirror. He is trying to walk it off now after looking at a tablet and having a conversation with Andy Reid.

As per the video of the incident, Mahomes may have aggravated his right high-ankle sprain on the tackle by Eagles linebacker TJ Edwards, Sports Injury Central reported. "Because of Rihanna's Super Bowl halftime show, Mahomes will have a significantly extended halftime that could impact his treatment. He can opt for a pain-numbing injection and will likely have his ankle re-taped to reduce any residual swelling," it said.

Super Bowl LVII is here as the Philadelphia Eagles face the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, February 12, 2023, at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. This is the first time the two teams are facing each other in a championship game.
'It might be over'
Devastated Kansas City Chiefs fans took to social media to express their disappointment at Mahomes' injury. "It might be over," one user wrote on Twitter, posing a broken heart emoji. Another wrote, "Doesn't look good it's over."
"Earlier this week, #Chiefs trainer Julie Frymyer told me, "High ankle sprains can take a while to come back. So his tissue is not completely healed but he's better than he was for sure." An aggravation was always the fear," said a user.
