KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Patrick Mahomes said his injured ankle “should be in a better place” heading into the Kansas City Chiefs’ Christmas Day game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

“We haven’t done a ton as far as getting out there on the practice field,” Mahomes said before Monday’s practice, the most intense of the short workweek. “We’ve done a walk-through, actually two walk-throughs now, and I feel like I can move around and do what I need to do and now we’ll get to get to a little bit faster-paced practice and see where I’m truly at. But I thought, all in all, I came out pretty well.

“Obviously the body’s going to be sore just with a short week and everything like that, but I think the ankle should be in a better place. We’ll see in practice [Monday], but as far as how I felt after this game compared to the one before, I’m definitely in a lot better place.”
