Video: Patrick Mahomes shocked after Chiefs teammate nearly suffers season-ending injury while walking at camp

The Kansas City Chiefs kicked off training camp for the 2024 season on Sunday. It all nearly started with an unexpected accident involving Carson Wentz. On the first day, Wentz nearly put his safety at risk by simply walking.

The Chiefs’ quarterback group, which includes Patrick Mahomes, Carson Wentz, Ian Book, and Chris Oladokun, was heading out onto the field. However, in a video, Wentz could be seen slipping and almost falling. Fortunately, he managed to catch himself before hitting the ground, avoiding a serious injury.

The incident quickly turned into a moment of levity for the team, especially Patrick Mahomes. The star quarterback was seen laughing heartily at the near miss. “Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? Hey, post that. Post that,” Mahomes said. Then he pointed at the camera with a smile. “You gotta post that. You gotta post that,” Oladokun added.

The video was posted on the Kansas City Chiefs’ official X page (formerly Twitter). They even added a touch of humor in the video’s caption, stating, “No QBs were harmed in the making of this video.”

Wentz, who signed with the Chiefs this offseason, has had a career marked by several team changes. He began his NFL journey with the Philadelphia Eagles, where he played from 2016 to 2020. This upcoming season will mark his fifth team in as many seasons.

After his time with the Eagles, Wentz played for the Indianapolis Colts, Washington Commanders and, most recently, the Los Angeles Rams. During his brief stint with the Rams last year, Wentz completed 17 passes for 163 yards and two touchdowns in two games. He also rushed for 56 yards, according to ESPN.

Wentz signed a one-year deal with the Kansas City Chiefs after hitting free agency for 2024 nearly a month ago. The deal clearly positions him as Patrick Mahomes’ replacement.

Looking back on his career, Wentz first made a name for himself with the Philadelphia Eagles, where he had an MVP-caliber season in 2017, throwing 33 touchdown passes against seven interceptions. He was on track to potentially lead the Eagles to their first Super Bowl victory before a torn ACL ended his season.

Instead, he watched from the sidelines as Nick Foles stepped up and secured the championship for the Eagles. Wentz’s career has been a series of ups and downs.

Let’s learn a little more about Carson Wentz’s on-field performance.

After a promising start, his ACL injury proved to be a turning point. While he showed signs of his former brilliance with the Colts and Commanders, consistency remained elusive. His stint with the Rams was short-lived, but he showed he could still make a significant contribution.

Now with the Chiefs, Wentz has another opportunity to showcase his talents, albeit in a backup role to one of the league’s best quarterbacks. The Chiefs’ decision to sign Wentz underscores their need for a reliable backup who could step in if Mahomes were to get injured. With his experience and high-level performance, Wentz provides valuable depth at quarterback.

As the 2024 season progresses, the Chiefs and their fans will be eager to see how Wentz adapts to his new role. For now, the focus remains on preparation and building chemistry with the team to ensure Wentz is ready to perform at his best when called upon to play.
