Overview
- Andy Reid and offensive coordinator Matt Nagy praised Kelce’s impact but said they have no insight into whether he will retire.
- Kelce has not announced a decision and has said he will make it quickly after the season to give the team clarity for free agency and the draft.
- The 36-year-old enters the Christmas home game with 68 catches for 803 yards and five touchdowns, joining Jerry Rice with 12 straight 800-yard seasons.
- The Chiefs were eliminated from playoff contention, and with Patrick Mahomes out with an ACL tear and Gardner Minshew also injured, Chris Oladokun will start at quarterback against Denver.
- Kelce’s appearance Thursday is being framed as a potential final run at Arrowhead before a season-ending trip to Las Vegas.
