Chiefs Announce Good News on Travis Kelce Ahead of Broncos Game

The Kansas Chiefs announced an unfortunate update on Travis Kelce on Thursday. However, the team released good news the following day about the veteran tight end's practice participation, just two days before its showdown with the Denver Broncos.

Kelce is amid a solid season. He has appeared and started all six games, recording 24 receptions for 343 yards and two touchdowns. The three-time Super Bowl champion is coming off another decent outing despite the Chiefs' 20-3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. He registered four catches for 44 yards to lead the receiving corps along with Noah Gray.

Kansas City is aiming to regain lost glory after missing the playoffs last year. Patrick Mahomes suffered an ACL and LCL injury in Decembers but returned to action in Week 1. Kelce's connection with him will be key in proving that the Chiefs remain a Super Bowl contender. L'Jarius Sneed, Mason Thomas and Mansoor Delane are all listed as questionable for the Week 8 showdown. Only Omarr Norman-Lott is confirmed as out so far.
