Chiefs' Andy Reid - QB Patrick Mahomes (ankle) 'is doing OK'

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The Kansas City Chiefs are preparing for the AFC Championship Game against the Cincinnati Bengals as if Patrick Mahomes will play.

But coach Andy Reid said Monday the Chiefs aren't certain whether they will be able to go with Mahomes or have to use veteran backup Chad Henne at quarterback on Sunday.

"He's worked hard in the treatment and is doing OK,'' Reid said of Mahomes, who suffered a high ankle sprain in Saturday's divisional round win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.

"He mentioned it to you that he's going to play. That's his mindset and then we'll just take it day by day and see how he does.''
