Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes exited Thursday's NFL game against the Denver Broncos with a knee injury.
Reigning NFL MVP Mahomes appeared to hurt his leg after a quarterback sneak in the first half of the clash with the Broncos.
Patrick Mahomes attempted (and converted) a fourth-and-one quarterback sneak in the second quarter of the contest.
That was his last play of the game, as Mahomes walked off the field under his own power but was quickly ruled out for the remainder of the contest.

It looks like he points at his right leg, and he reaches toward his knee a bit. Definitely looks hurt. pic.twitter.com/GEEQJgZDJg
Mahomes had been dealing with an ankle injury coming into the game at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver.
NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport confirmed that he will not return to the field.
