Mahomes battled through the injury in Super Bowl LV

Patrick Mahomes ran for his life during Super Bowl LV, something that probably didn't help the turf toe he reportedly had been dealing with.

And now, the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback will be getting the ailment taken care of.

According to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport, Mahomes will undergo surgery Wednesday to repair the turf toe. The rehab process is expected to take "several months."

Mahomes threw for 270 yards with two interceptions and zero touchdowns Sunday in Kansas City's 31-9 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The NFL playoffs were tough for the 25-year-old. Mahomes also was placed in the concussion protocol during the divisional round.

But it sounds like Mahomes will make a full recovery and be 100 percent for the 2021 season as he tries to get the Chiefs back to the Super Bowl for the third straight season.
