Per multiple reports, Kansas City Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce sustained an injury during the team’s practice Tuesday. The update they provided Tuesday afternoon wasn’t promising for Kelce.
The Chiefs were practicing Tuesday ahead of their Thursday night season opener against the Detroit Lions. Because of the game being played Thursday night, Tuesday’s practice was the equivalent of a typical Friday practice for an NFL team playing Sunday.
The Kansas City Chiefs could be without Travis Kelce
According the to Tom Pelissero with the NFL Network, the Chiefs revealed Kelce’s status for Thirsday’s game against the Lions is up in the air after he hyperextended his knee Tuesday.

Kelce’s absense would be huge for the Chiefs offense working without an elite wide receiver this season. The Chiefs had good news on Kadarius Toney’s availability against the Lions. But Toney, Skyy Moore, and Marquez Reshard Valdes-Scantling wouldn’t be the same trio without Kelce taking the Lions attention.
