Kelce Listed Limited in Practice for Third Straight Week

Travis Kelce's reduced practice work could lower his effectiveness against the Jets' top pass defense.

Overview

  • The Kansas City Chiefs posted that Travis Kelce was limited in Wednesday practice for a third consecutive week because of an ankle issue from a Week 6 game.
  • The ankle injury traces to a tackle by Chargers linebacker Daiyan Henley that the coverage described as a hip-drop and that required Kelce to leave briefly and have the ankle taped before returning.
  • Coach Andy Reid said Kelce 'tweaked his ankle,' continued to play after the hit, and could be sore the next day, framing the limited listings as a managed concern rather than an assured absence.
  • Kelce leads the Chiefs with 410 receiving yards and two touchdowns this season, and his history of playing through ankle sprains makes availability likely but not a guarantee of full effectiveness.
  • The practice report also listed multiple receivers limited and one player not practicing, a combination that could reduce Kansas City's passing options and make Kelce's performance against the Jets' strong secondary a key factor in stopping the team's slide after consecutive losses.
