During the Kansas City Chiefs' rout of the New York Jets in Week 9, the Chiefs got a major injury scare on their most important player.

Patrick Mahomes was decked by Jets' rookie David Bailey coming off the edge, forcing a fumble. It also resulted in Mahomes injuring his arm, which obviously sparked major concern since his throwing arm might've just gotten hurt.

Fortunately, as NFL Network's Ian Rapoport shared Monday, the Chiefs got some "more positive news than negative news" on their QB, which is a huge sigh of relief for the Chiefs.

Chiefs get huge news on Patrick Mahomes' injury scare

"Andy Reid: 'It was more positive news than negative news. It looks like it's just a matter of rehabbing and getting rid of some of the soreness,'" Rapoport reports.

This is a massive sigh of relief for the Chiefs. Obviously, the Chiefs quarterback won't be at 100% for the team's Week 10 matchup.

But just getting the news that Mahomes didn't suffer a serious injury is a great one for the Chiefs. He has an elbow injury that isn't severe.

His status for Week 10 isn't yet known, but Reid's update indicates the quarterback will be day-to-day as he works through the soreness in his throwing elbow.

Seeing how he participates in practice leading up to Week 10 will be very noteworthy. It would not be a surprise if he's limited all week.

But if he logs a full practice, his chances of playing will be great. Of course, there is still some uncertainty about how his arm will react to this injury, but for now, it's a positive update from the Chiefs on Mahomes.

The Chiefs face the Atlanta Falcons in Week 10, and Mahomes is questionable for that matchup. But all things considered, this update from Reid is a positive one, and he has a good chance to go this upcoming weekend.
