Patrick Mahomes' Trainer Tweets 1st Reaction to Week 15 Injury

Over the next 24-48 hours, the NFL world will be talking about the ankle injury Patrick Mahomes sustained in the fourth quarter of their 21-7 victory over the Browns on Sunday. That said, Mahomes trainer Bobby Stroupe was the first to comment on the injury via X/Twitter.

Patrick Mahomes trainer shares confusing emjoi tweet after injury

At first glance, Stroupe's tweet is confusing. How exactly does each emoji relate to the ankle injury Mahomes sustained?

Let's break it down, starting with the worker and the roads closed sign. While those emojis could lead to the assumption that Mahomes trainer thinks the injury could be serious, that most likely wasn't his intention. Instead, those emojis could just hint at blocking out distractions while rehabbing.

The tools, on the other hand, are hard to misinterpret. Each tool most likely represents a step in the rehab process. The toolbox starts and ends that process.

While Stroupe's tweet may have multiple interpretations, one thing is clear: both men have work to do, so Mahomes isn't limping through the playoffs.

If the effects of Mahomes's ankle injury last into the playoffs, that's not good. Mahomes dealing with a bad ankle in the playoffs will affect how effective he is in extending plays.

That's an issue because possessing that ability in the playoffs can be the difference between a win and a loss. With the Chiefs on the chase for their third consecutive Super Bowl, Mahomes' health is paramount.

Hopefully, Stroupe's tweet points to Mahomes getting healthy quickly.
