The Chiefs are one of the rare teams to put their head athletic trainer in front of microphones, and Rick Burkholder said Monday the signs were largely positive. Burkholder said Mahomes’ MRI turned out “as good as we could imagine,” the story said. Over the weekend there were conflicting reports with Ian Rapoport saying more like 3-5 weeks, which would include the team's Week 9 bye, while Adam Schefter reported he could be back before three weeks has passed.
