  "account": "NFL insider Adam Schefter has revealed that Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes sought a second opinion on his injured elbow from esteemed baseball doctors. The doctors diagnosed a minor sprain of Mahomes' UCL, the ulnar collateral ligament. Although Mahomes sustained this elbow injury during the Chiefs' Week 9 victory against the New York Jets, he was still listed on the Chiefs' injury report as of this week. Despite his elbow issue, Mahomes fully participated in all practice sessions for the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 10. He is expected to take the field when the 6-2 Chiefs face the 3-6 Atlanta Falcons at Mercedes-Benz Stadium later today. Sources indicate that the baseball doctors consulted by the Chiefs included those associated with the Kansas City Royals and Texas Rangers.",
