The Kansas City Chiefs announced concerning news about Travis Kelce last week. They made a similar one again on Wednesday.
Kansas City is coming off a 28-24 loss to the Denver Broncos in Week 9. It was the team’s second straight defeat after starting the season with a 5-0 record. The Chiefs had a chance to extend their lead to six points late in the fourth quarter but Harrison Butker missed a 54-yard field-goal attempt. The Broncos took advantage of good field position, scoring a touchdown in the ensuing drive in only 35 seconds.
Patrick Mahomes led Kansas City with 30-of-41 completions for 321 yards, three touchdowns and zero interceptions. Kelce finished with five catches for 67 yards.

Chiefs Share Travis Kelce Practice Participation
The Chiefs released their injury report on Wednesday, with the veteran tight end one of five players who were limited in practice. Joining him on the list are Mansoor Delane, Omarr Norman-Lott, Nikko Remigio and Rashee Rice. Only Peter Woods was not able to practice completely.

The good news is Kelce was also a limited participant in a session last week but practiced fully on Friday. He ultimately suited up in Week 9 and delivered a decent performance despite dealing with an ankle issue.
Kansas City needs all the help it can get to snap out of their two-game losing streak. Questions continue to surround the team about the hole at wide receiver, and Kelce’s potential availability gives Mahomes a reliable target. The quarterback-tight end duo has won three Super Bowls together, forming a strong bond on and off the field.
It’s possible that Kelce’s limitations on Wednesday are only maintenance-related. He has two more practice sessions to work fully before the Chiefs’ Week 9 matchup. They will host the New York Jets at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET.
