Patrick Mahomes has cleared the NFL's concussion protocol and will play in Sunday's AFC Championship Game.

"Talking to all of the doctors and going through all of the testing, we have the belief that I'll have no lingering effects and I'll be able to go out there and be who I am,'' Mahomes said after clearing the protocol.

"You have to take it day by day. That's the best thing. You can only control what you can control. For me, that was coming in every day with a positive attitude, try to make myself better, try to prepare myself as if I was going to play. Luckily enough, I haven't had any symptoms and I'm able to play.''

Mahomes entered the concussion protocol during last Sunday's win over the Browns.
