Mahomes reportedly sustained a high-ankle sprain during Saturday's 27-20 divisional-round win over the Jaguars, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

Per the report, X-rays on Mahomes' right ankle came up negative, with Adam Teicher of ESPN relaying that the QB is slated to undergo an MRI on Sunday. For his part, Mahomes has indicated that he expects to be "good to go" for next weekend's AFC Championship game, but at a minimum, look for his practice participation to be limited ahead of the contest.

Jones completed 15 of 27 passes for 135 yards with no touchdowns and one interception in the Giants' 38-7 divisional-round loss to the Eagles on Saturday night. He also rushed six times for 24 yards and committed a fumble recovered by New York.

Jones' final numbers underscore how difficult a night it was for him against the Eagles' stalwart defense, which sacked him five times and hit him an additional three occasions. Jones averaged only five yards per attempt with Philadelphia successfully taking away any possibilities of downfield success, making it a very underwhelming finish to an otherwise highly successful season. The fifth-year pro thrived in head coach Brian Daboll's system, throwing for 3,205 yards with 15 touchdowns and five interceptions during the regular season while rushing for a career-high 708 yards and seven touchdowns on 120 attempts. An impeding free agent at the start of the new league year, Jones may have done enough to earn a new contract in the Big Apple.

Hurts completed 16 of 24 passes for 154 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Eagles' 38-7 divisional-round win over the Giants on Saturday night. He also rushed nine times for 34 yards and another score and fumbled once but recovered.

Hurts' final numbers weren't his most spectacular by any stretch, but the versatile signal-caller was certainly efficient while parlaying three of his 25 touches into scores. The third-year star's relatively modest numbers were a reflection of how especially effective the offense was in the first half, when Hurts connected with Dallas Goedert and DeVonta Smith for scoring tosses of 16 and nine yards, respectively. Hurts then added a five-yard touchdown run just before intermission to cap off a 14-play, 72-yard march, and Philadelphia was largely able to rely on its ground attack the rest of the way courtesy of its 28-0 halftime lead. Hurts will now set his sights on facing either the Cowboys or 49ers in an NFC Championship Game clash a week from Sunday.

Mahomes is slated to undergo an MRI on his right ankle Sunday to determine the extent of the injury that he played through during Saturday's 27-20 divisional-round win against the Jaguars, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Mahomes was taken down awkwardly near the end of the first quarter, and while he finished out the possession, he yielded the offense to backup Chad Henne for the team's next drive as he underwent an X-ray that came back negative. Such news allowed the Chiefs to clear Mahomes to return, and he proceeded to finish out the game, completing 22 of 30 passes for 195 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions while rushing three times for eight yards. Afterward, he relayed to Nate Taylor of The Athletic that he'll "be ready to go" for next Sunday's AFC Championship Game, but Sunday's test likely will reveal what type of practice restrictions he'll be under in the coming days.

Lawrence completed 24 of 39 passes for 217 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Saturday's 27-20 loss to the Chiefs.

Lawrence led a few long scoring drives, the highlight of which came early in the first quarter on a 10-yard touchdown pass to Christian Kirk (knee). That helped keep the Jaguars in the game, though Lawrence and the rest of the offense ultimately made too many mistakes and played too inefficiently to pull off the upset. His biggest mistake came with just under four minutes remaining in the game, when he was picked off by Jaylen Watson. Despite the letdown to close the campaign, Lawrence took a significant step forward in his second season in the NFL -- highlighted a 25:8 TD:INT across 17 regular-season games.

Mahomes (ankle) completed 22 of 30 passes for 195 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Saturday's 27-20 win over the Jaguars. He added three rushes for eight yards.

Mahomes started the game very well and orchestrated a 12-play, 83-yard touchdown drive on the Chiefs' first offensive possession. However, he suffered an ankle injury one drive later and was held out for the entire second quarter. Mahomes returned in the second half but was largely limited to throws in the short areas of the field to avoid any additional hits to his lower body. While that impacted his stat line, Mahomes still managed to lead Kansas City to the AFC Championship Game. After Saturday's victory, he confirmed that X-rays came back negative on his ankle, and that he would be ready to take on either the Bengals or Bills next week Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.

Mahomes (ankle) returned to Saturday's divisional-round contest against the Jaguars, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

After hurting his right ankle late in the first quarter, Mahomes sat out most of the second quarter as he went to the locker room and then watched it from the sideline while Chad Henne led the Chiefs offense. Now that he's back in the game, though, Mahomes appears as if he'll attempt to gut out the injury with his ankle taped up.

Mahomes (ankle) is questionable to return to Saturday's divisional-round game versus the Jaguars.

After getting taken to the ground awkwardly near end of the first quarter, Mahomes was visibly hobbled and favoring his right ankle, but he got it taped up between quarters and stayed in the game until a Harrison Butker field goal. During Jacksonville's ensuing drive, though, Mahomes eventually made his way to the locker room following conversations with coach Andy Reid and the Chiefs' training staff. While he returned to the sideline with a bigger tape job, Mahomes has yielded Kansas City's offense to backup quarterback Chad Henne.

Mahomes (ankle) went to the locker room during Saturday's divisional-round game against the Jaguars, Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star reports.

Mahomes was taken to the ground awkwardly by two Jaguars defenders as he attempted to get rid of the ball in the first quarter. He was clearly hobbled and favoring his right ankle as he finished out a drive that ended in a Harrison Butker field goal, but after trying to convince coach Andy Reid and the Chiefs training staff to keep him in the game, Mahomes left the field for further examination. With Mahomes sidelined, Chad Henne will be under center for Kansas City.

Lawrence (toe) is listed as active Saturday at Kansas City.

Lawrence has been tending to a sprained big toe on his left foot since Week 13, but he's been able to play through it over the last six games, completing 66 percent of his passes for 261.2 yards per game while putting together 12 touchdowns versus six interceptions. He also tacked on a pair of scores on the ground during that stretch. Lawrence now will be facing a Chiefs defense that allowed the most passing TDs (33) to opposing quarterbacks during the regular season.
