Mahomes Cleared to Start Against Falcons

Patrick Mahomes’ right-elbow injury during Kansas City’s 35-12 win over the Jets was diagnosed as a strain, with tests showing no major structural damage. He practiced fully and was listed without an injury designation, putting him on track to start Sunday’s road game against Atlanta; Mahomes said his elbow was improving with treatment. The Chiefs expect newly acquired receiver Josh Downs to play, while Xavier Worthy practiced fully, right tackle Jaylon Moore is out and running back Kenneth Walker is questionable. Kansas City enters the matchup 6-2.
