Eerie Parallels Between Patrick Mahomes and Tom Brady's Knee Injuries

Chris Oladokun, promoted to backup quarterback after Patrick Mahomes' torn ACL, will back up Gardner Minshew in Week 16 as Chiefs face the Tennessee Titans.

  • On Saturday the Kansas City Chiefs signed Chris Oladokun from their practice squad to the active roster after Patrick Mahomes' season-ending knee injury.
  • Before the move, Gardner Minshew was the only quarterback on the active roster, creating an immediate depth issue as the Kansas City Chiefs prepared for Week 16.
  • In his fourth season on the Chiefs' practice squad, Chris Oladokun was a 2022 seventh-round pick who has appeared in one NFL game and earned two Super Bowl rings.
  • Oladokun will back up Gardner Minshew when the Chiefs face the Tennessee Titans at noon CST Sunday in Nashville, filling the QB depth chart for Week 16 with Minshew starting.
  • His only prior regular-season appearance came Jan. 5 backing up Carson Wentz in a 38-0 loss to Denver, and after Saturday's elevation he completed a 6-yard pass to Travis Kelce.
