Travis Kelce is back in Kansas City after reportedly spending a significant amount of his time in the offseason in Boca Raton. The All-Pro tight end reportedly hunkered down in Florida with his friends to get his body in shape for the upcoming season, which is now just a few months away.
Kelce was spotted entering the team's practice facility last week for the first session of the Chiefs' Organized Team Activities or OTAs. Over the weekend, he attended a charity event in KC for the benefit of Children's Mercy Hospital.
Kelce took part in the annual "Big Slick Celebrity Weekend" along with teammate Patrick Mahomes, his brother Jason Kelce, and a number of big-name Hollywood celebrities.
For some reason, though, the 10-time Pro Bowler was nowhere to be found as the Chiefs kicked off the first day of their second OTA session on Monday.
Fans could not help but notice Kelce's absence from the practice session as the team posted multiple photos from the facility.
"Travis still not seen on any OTA’s," a comment on Instagram read.
"No Kelce?" asked a fan.
"He went back to Florida," responded another.

"leave the elderly alone. He needs 14 business days to recover from last weeks OTAs," a reaction read.
"Any chance kelce shows up?? Too busy golfing and living the good life was in kc Saturday but couldn’t clock into otas lmaooo," accused a user.
"why is everyone all up over Travis? He’s a vet and these are optional practices. Are you guys new to football? Like I would be surprised if he did go. And I don’t expect him to do media because of you people who obviously are just watching your first offseason," a supporter argued.
A few other fans pointed out that these OTAs are voluntary, which means that, technically speaking, Kelce is not compelled to attend them. Be that as it may, supporters also indicated that other members of the squad chose to go, including star quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
The Chiefs have two more days of OTAs on Tuesday and Wednesday, as well as another session from June 10 to 13. Whether or not Kelce will take part in any of those remains to be seen.
