Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes exited the Chiefs win over the Broncos on Thursday after suffering a knee injury in the second quarter.

Mahomes suffered a dislocated patella before exiting the game, per the NFL Network's James Palmer. Mahomes did not break any bones, but the Chiefs will not know the extent of the injury until the third-year signal-caller undergoes an MRI on Friday.

Patrick Mahomes suffered a patella (kneecap) dislocation. I’m told there was no break. MRI will reveal if there is any ligament damage.

Mahomes went down with the injury following a fourth-down quarterback sneak and looked to be in obvious pain. Mahomes was tended to by trainers on the field before walking off with them into the Chiefs' locker room.
