The Kansas City Chiefs have been eagerly awaiting the return of their star tight end Travis Kelce, who has been out since Week 8 with a knee injury. After a few weeks of recovery and rehab, it looks like Kelce is ready to make his return to the field.
Kelce has been an integral part of the Chiefs offense since joining the team in 2013. He has been one of the most productive tight ends in the NFL, setting career highs in receptions (83) and receiving yards (1,336) last season. His presence in the passing game has been a major factor in the Chiefs’ success this season, as they currently sit atop the AFC West with a 9-2 record.
The Chiefs have been without Kelce for the past four games, but it looks like they will get him back in time for Sunday’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Head coach Andy Reid said that Kelce has been practicing this week and is expected to be ready to go.
Kelce’s return will be a major boost for the Chiefs offense, as he is one of their most dynamic playmakers. He has the ability to make plays downfield as well as in the red zone, and his presence should open up more opportunities for quarterback Patrick Mahomes and the rest of the offense.
The Chiefs are hoping that Kelce can help them secure a win on Sunday and continue their march towards the playoffs. With Kelce back in the lineup, they should be in a good position to do just that.
