Overview

  • At the Chiefs’ first padded practice on July 27 in St. Joseph, Missouri, Kelce unveiled a buzz cut, prompting an official NFL and team Instagram post captioned “Fresh cut Trav 😮‍💨.”
  • Fans voiced mixed reactions on social media, praising the practical style for the summer heat or lamenting the loss of his signature long locks.
  • Head coach Andy Reid confirmed that tight ends Jake Briningstool sat out with a hamstring strain, Kristian Fulton is recovering from knee surgery and Omarr Norman-Lott tweaked his ankle but returned to practice.
  • Reid lauded Kelce’s “svelte” physique and top form after extensive offseason training in Florida focused on form-running, strength work and flexibility.
  • At 35 and entering his 13th and final year under contract, Kelce’s hair transformation and Taylor Swift’s season hiatus underscore a potential capstone campaign.
