NFL Injury Report: Super Bowl LVII
Key Players Injured in Lead-Up to Big Game
Chiefs' Mahomes Battling Ankle Injury
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is dealing with a high ankle sprain suffered in the AFC Divisional Round win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Mahomes is expected to play in the Super Bowl, but his mobility could be limited.
Eagles' Smith Limited in Practice
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith has been limited in practice this week due to a groin injury. Smith is expected to play in the Super Bowl, but his status is worth monitoring.
Other Notable Injuries
Other players who could be impacted by injuries in the Super Bowl include:
- Chiefs running back Jerick McKinnon (ankle)
- Chiefs cornerback L'Jarius Sneed (hip)
- Eagles offensive tackle Lane Johnson (ankle)
- Eagles defensive end Josh Sweat (neck)
Injury Impact on Super Bowl
The injuries to Mahomes and Smith could have a significant impact on the Super Bowl. Mahomes is the Chiefs' most valuable player, and his mobility is a key part of their offense. Smith is the Eagles' leading receiver, and his absence would be a major blow to their passing attack.
The other injuries listed above are less likely to have a major impact on the game, but they could still play a role. For example, if Johnson is unable to play, the Eagles will be without their starting right tackle.
The Super Bowl is the biggest game of the year, and injuries can play a major role in determining the outcome. The Chiefs and Eagles will be hoping that their injured players can be ready to go on Sunday.
