Randi Mahomes speaks about fear of injuries for her son Patrick Mahomes and teammates
Some of the NFL's most promising players have often lost good months from their peak seasons due to injuries; even a minor injury can keep an NFL player away for at least a couple of weeks, during which they can miss matches.
In certain cases, a long-term injury can throw a player's career into question and often brings his position within a team into question.
Recently, Randi Mahomes, Patrick Mahomes' mom opened up about the anxieties she experiences around not just her son's health but also that of the players in his team Kansas City Chiefs. In 2022, Mahomes suffered an ankle sprain in the AFC Divisional Round matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars and suffered a high ankle sprain in 2024.
However, none of his injuries have been big enough to take a major toll on his career or performance.
What did Randi Mahomes say about Patrick Mahomes' injuries?
Randi recently spoke about her feelings in a video. 'Let me tell you as a mom, still to this day, it's hard for me to watch the football games completely. I'm pacing and I'm playing with grandkids. I'm doing anything I can do not to just focus on every single play because it is a fear that I have. I don't normally like speak about it, but at the same time, I keep thinking it will get easier to watch,' she said.

She further added, 'We had injuries. So it's something that I always tell to like -Focus on your body, listen to your body. Listen to your coaches and doctors. Also, football is a contact sport, and it's something that I've accepted.'
Patrick Mahomes has a history of fighting through injuries. The quarterback suffered an ankle injury during the Monday Night Football clash against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in November. Coach Andy Reid told Mahomes he was taking him out of the game. Mahomes said he felt pain in his ankle when he planted his left foot on the slippery tuft. However, Mahomes stood his ground and returned and was able to bounce back fairly quickly.

Jasprit Bumrah (Getty Images) NEW DELHI: Following Team India's thrilling series draw against England, pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah took to social media to express his joy over what he called a "competitive and enthralling" contest. With captain Shubman Gill and pacer Mohammed Siraj topping the batting and bowling charts respectively, India sealed a memorable six-run win at The Oval to level the series 2-2. Posting on Instagram, Bumrah wrote, "We take back great memories from a highly competitive and enthralling test series! Looking forward to what's next."

Despite playing only three Tests due to workload management, Bumrah finished as the joint-fourth highest wicket-taker in the series with 14 wickets at an average of 26.00, including best figures of 5/74. He returned to red-ball cricket after a strong 18-wicket IPL campaign with Mumbai Indians, using the tournament to prepare himself post an injury layoff, having previously sustained a back fracture during his 32-wicket haul in the Border-Gavaskar series against Australia. In the final Test at The Oval, England won the toss and opted to bowl first. India were reduced to 153/6 before a 58-run partnership between Karun Nair (57 off 109 balls, 8 fours) and Washington Sundar (26 off 55 balls, 3 fours) added some stability. India were eventually bowled out for 224, with Gus Atkinson claiming a five-wicket haul and Josh Tongue contributing with 3/57. In reply, England were limited to 247 thanks to four-wicket hauls by Siraj (4/86) and Prasidh Krishna (4/62), despite a fiery 92-run opening stand between Zak Crawley (64 off 57, 14 fours) and Ben Duckett (43 off 38, 5 fours, 2 sixes), followed by a half-century from Harry Brook (53 off 64, 5 fours, 1 six). by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Mix 3 Kitchen Ingredients, Wake Up Thinner Every Morning Get Fit Today Click Here Undo England took a narrow 23-run lead. India responded strongly in their second innings.

Sundar also played a crucial role in a last-wicket stand with Krishna, where he scored all the runs while Krishna held his end. IND vs ENG: Mohammed Siraj reflects on memorable win at The Oval India posted 396, setting England a daunting target of 374 runs. India made early inroads, reducing England to 106/3, but the game swung back with centuries from Harry Brook (111 off 98, 14 fours, 2 sixes) and Joe Root (105 off 152, 12 fours), who added 195 for the fourth wicket. At 317/4, England looked set to pull off a historic chase. However, a stunning late burst from Siraj (5/104) and Krishna (4/126) turned the tide as England were bowled out for 367 — falling just six runs short. The dramatic finish brought the series to a 2-2 draw, a fitting end to a fiercely contested battle.
