Dr. Robert Anderson, a renowned foot and ankle surgeon who serves as a doctor on the Packers team, operated on Patrick Mahomes’ foot on Wednesday.
Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that surgery to repair a torn plantar plate went well with “no problems. “
The rehabilitation of the Chiefs’ quarterback is likely to keep him off the pitch this off-season, but Mahomes is expected to recover in time for the start of the 2021 season.
Mahomes has a league MVP and a Super Bowl MVP in his three full seasons as a team starter. It could be even better if it weren’t for a defeat for Tom Brady and the Patriots in the 2018 AFC Championship Game extension and a defeat for Brady and the Bucs in the Super Bowl LV on Sunday.
Mahomes completed 65 percent of his passes for 850 yards with four touchdowns and two interceptions during the 2020 postseason. He made 26 from 49 to 270 yards with two choices in the Super Bowl LV, while also running for 33 yards.
