Kansas City Chiefs QB Left Training Camp Following An Unexpected…

Scary slip had fans worried about who is backing up Mahomes.

The first day of NFL Training Camp is one of the most anticipated days of the year for football enthusiasts. Then, with one spectacular slip, Kansas City Chiefs fans went from celebrating Travis Kelce’s return and the excitement of new deep threat Xavier Worthy to fretting about who Patrick Mahomes’ backup quarterback is.

An unexpected moment at the start of the day caused the hearts of the thousands of Chiefs fans in attendance on Sunday skip a beat.

Patrick Mahomes headlined Andy Reid’s quarterback group, which included Carson Wentz, Ian Book, and Chris Oladokun. However, the walk down the artificial turf to the practice field proved to be more dangerous than anyone anticipated.

“No quarterbacks were harmed in the making of this video,” stated the Chiefs’ social media accounts, addressing a difficult topic.

Wentz fell on the artificial surface, nearly twisting his ankle and making Patrick Mahomes giggle. “Are you kidding me?” “You gotta post that,” the Super Bowl MVP joked when he realized someone had captured the unfortunate lapse.

The terrifying moment demonstrated to everyone how rapidly a franchise’s fortunes may shift and how valuable a backup quarterback can be. Wentz is an excellent example. In 2017, he guided the Philadelphia Eagles to the playoffs before tearing his ACL. Backup quarterback Nick Foles became an NFL icon by stepping in and leading the Eagles to the Super Bowl.

In Foles’ place, Wentz was signed to be Mahomes’ backup, as long as he avoids any further slips. No. 15 definitely saw the amusing side of things, but Chiefs supporters probably weren’t expecting to think about their backup quarterback on one of the most anticipated days of the season.
