Chiefs’ Travis Kelce Ruled Out for Week 1 vs. Lions

The Chiefs will be without Patrick Mahomes’s favorite target to open the season with star tight end Travis Kelce reportedly set to miss Week 1 due to a knee injury.

Kelce, who was listed as questionable for the game, was ruled out ahead of Thursday’s opener against the Lions with a bone bruise, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. The news comes two days after the 33-year-old hyperextended his knee during practice.

Despite reportedly avoiding a long-term injury, Kelce’s status remained firmly doubt prior to Thursday. But, with the news now official, the two-time Super Bowl champion will miss a game due to injury for the first time since his rookie season in 2013.
