The Kansas City Chiefs are gearing up for a primetime matchup against the Denver Broncos on Thursday night. However, one key player who may be missing from the action is star tight end Travis Kelce. Kelce is currently nursing an ankle injury that he sustained in last weekend’s game, leaving his availability uncertain for this crucial divisional showdown.
Key Takeaway
Travis Kelce’s availability for the upcoming game against the Denver Broncos is questionable due to an ankle injury. The Chiefs might opt to rest him in order to ensure a full recovery and have him at full strength for future games.
Despite being listed as a limited participant in practice on both Tuesday and Wednesday, Kelce’s status for the game remains up in the air. The Chiefs are likely to take a cautious approach with their star player, considering the long-term implications of the season and the need for a full recovery. Sitting out this game would afford Kelce almost two full weeks to rest and recuperate before the Chiefs’ next game against the Chargers on October 22.
This is not the first time Kelce has dealt with injury this season. He also missed the season-opener against the Lions due to a knee issue. However, he has been a consistent presence on the field since then, playing in every other game, including two that were attended by none other than pop star Taylor Swift.
Speaking of Swift, it’s unclear whether she had plans to attend the “Thursday Night Football” showdown in Kansas City. However, with Kelce’s availability uncertain, it seems that watching the game from the comfort of her own home might be the best bet for the singer and her fans, affectionately known as the Swifties.
