The Kansas City Chiefs are open to letting quarterback Patrick Mahomes punt if their regular punter, Tommy Townsend, is unable to play due to injury. Mahomes has experience punting from his high school days, where he averaged 37.8 yards per punt. The Chiefs have previously used atypical players in kicking situations, such as safety Justin Reid filling in for injured kicker Harrison Butker last season.
