It will be interesting to see how the league handles this with the "supposedly" independent protocols.

If this were a normal week in the NFL, there is no way Mahomes could complete the stage requirements and be cleared to play by that "Independent" neurologist.

Despite that it didn't look that severe a hit, Mahomes clearly had damage. He looked like Trevor Burbick trying to get up after Mike Tyson had destroyed him to win the title. And when they focused on his eyes, he clearly was dazed and had no idea where he was.

My guess.....somehow...he is cleared to play next week.
