Another positive COVID-19 test has popped up since the Kansas City Chiefs’ Week 4 win over New England.
And unfortunately for Patrick Mahomes, he happened to come into close contact with the latest Patriots player — Stephon Gilmore — to be infected by the virus.
After the Chiefs 26-10 win Monday, Mahomes and Gilmore shook hands on the field and exchanged a few words. It prompted quite the Twitter reaction, and Mahomes himself responded to it Wednesday.
“I was just trying to show respect to a great football player, who I hope is getting better very quickly,” Mahomes said of Gilmore, via ESPN. “I’ll just try to keep away from that and try not to do it again.”
Mahomes surely will keep a close eye on his health situation, especially considering his fianceé, Brittany Matthews, is pregnant with their first child.
Hopefully, one of the youngest and most exciting faces of the NFL remains healthy.
