Overview
- Kelce injured his right ankle during the Chiefs’ Week 6 win but returned to finish the game with four catches for 53 yards.
- The Chiefs’ official practice report showed Kelce as limited three days after the game, marking the first public practice restriction since the injury.
- Kansas City also ruled Rashee Rice out of practice and kept starting tackles Josh Simmons and Jaylon Moore off the field while rookie Cyrus Allen practiced in full despite a knee issue.
- Coach Andy Reid said Kelce ‘tweaked’ the ankle and would be sore but expected to be OK, and the NFL is reviewing the hit that caused the injury.
- If Kelce’s status worsens, Patrick Mahomes would face a significantly thinner pass catch group because Tyquan Thornton is expected to miss most of the season and Rice remains sidelined, so the team’s next practice reports will shape game‑day planning.
