Mahomes, who suffered a right patellar dislocation in Thursday's 30-6 win over the Broncos, is looking at a recovery timeline of approximately three weeks in a best-case scenario, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

A precise timeline for the star quarterback's return to action will be speculative until the results of his MRI are available, with the length of his likely absence largely hinging on whether or not he suffered any ligament damage. In any case, it looks as though veteran signal-caller Matt Moore will be leading the Chiefs offense for a spell, beginning with the team's Oct. 27 tilt against the Packers.

Mahomes sustained a dislocated right kneecap during Thursday's game against the Broncos, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.

Mahomes appears to have avoided a fracture as he already received X-rays, and he's now expected to undergo an MRI on Friday to further determine the extent of the injury, per Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star. The reigning NFL MVP suffered the injury on a QB sneak during the second quarter and was quickly ruled out from returning to the contest. Matt Moore is leading the offense in his absence and is currently the only healthy quarterback on the Chiefs' roster.

Mahomes won't return to Thursday's game against the Broncos due to a right knee injury.

Mahomes exited during the second quarter after suffering the injury on a QB sneak. A cart was initially called onto the field, but the 24-year-old gingerly made his way to the locker room under his own power. According to Erin Andrews of FOX, Mahomes was only briefly in the the X-ray room before being officially ruled out. Matt Moore steps in at quarterback in what is a disastrous sequence of events for the Chiefs.

Mahomes exited Thursday's game at Denver after appearing to injury his right knee on a QB sneak, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports.

Mahomes initially appeared as though he would leave the field via a cart, but he was instead helped to his feet and headed to the locker room under his own power. The 24-year-old has been battling a left ankle injury but athletic trainers appeared to be tending to his right knee while he was on the ground. The team should provide an official update sometime in the near future. Matt Moore has taken over at quarterback for the Chiefs.

Trubisky (shoulder) practiced in full Thursday.

Trubisky was expected to get all the reps with the first-team offense, which coach Matt Nagy said the Bears would use "to evaluate where he's at and see how much he can handle," per Larry Mayer of the team's official site. With Thursday's listing, Trubisky appears to be good to go against the Saints in Sunday, when he's slated to retain his role as the starting quarterback, according to Rich Campbell of the Chicago Tribune.

Rodgers (knee) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Rodgers seems to be following his regimen from a week ago, when he was limited on every injury report but subsequently entered the weekend without a designation. If he does so this week, he has a prime matchup to produce Sunday against a Raiders defense that has conceded 11 touchdown passes to signal-callers through five games. On the other hand, it's unclear who Rodgers will be throwing to, as Davante Adams (toe), Marquez Valdes-Scantling (ankle/knee), Geronimo Allison (concussion/chest), Jimmy Graham (ankle) and Robert Tonyan (hip) all were held out of practice Thursday.

Keenum (foot/shoulder) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.

Though Keenum didn't take any reps in Washington's first practice of the week Wednesday and was listed with two injuries on the team's official report, his absence was essentially viewed as a maintenance day. After returning to work without any limitations Thursday, Keenum is on track to make another start Sunday against the 49ers after piloting the Redskins to their first victory of the season in Week 6.

Rodgers (knee) was listed as limited on Wednesday's estimated injury report, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Rodgers got the LP treatment on all three of the Packers' Week 6 practice reports, only to shed his injury designation upon the release of the final one. The same regimen may extend throughout this week as well as he prepares for Sunday's matchup with the Raiders' 22nd-ranked pass defense (263.6 yards per game).

Trubisky (shoulder) was a full practice participant Wednesday, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

Trubisky has benefited from the Bears' Week 6 bye, completing every drill in practice for the first time since dislocating and suffering a slight labrum tear in his left non-throwing shoulder on Sept. 29. Whenever he's given clearance to play, he'll be required to wear a harness on that shoulder, which could impact his ability to catch snaps in the shotgun, according to Adam Hoge of WGN Radio 720 AM Chicago. Trubisky hasn't fumbled yet this season, but it was an issue during his first two campaigns, as he lost five of 16 fumbles across 26 starts.

Rudolph is no longer in the NFL's concussion protocol, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

With Rudolph having been cleared by an independent neurologist, the QB will be able to work fully after the Steelers' Week 7 bye. In his looming return to action as a starter, Rudolph will face the 0-5 Dolphins. Meanwhile, Devlin Hodges is slated to resume working in a backup capacity.
