Patrick Mahomes described his close interaction with Stephon Gilmore after Monday's game as "a little bit of a mental lapse."

"I was just trying to show respect to a great football player who I hope is getting better very quickly," Mahomes said Wednesday. "I'll just try to keep away from that and try not to do it again."

Gilmore said in a tweet Wednesday that he is currently asymptomatic.

"I've followed every protocol, yet it happened to me," he said. "Please be sure to take this seriously."

The Chiefs last week had a practice squad quarterback, Jordan Ta'amu, test positive for COVID-19.
