Reports of a knee hyperextension for Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce sent Kansas City fans into a frenzy Tuesday afternoon, as doubt was cast on the future Hall of Famer’s status for Thursday evening’s opener against the Lions.
However, a Tuesday afternoon report from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero indicated that the Chiefs do not believe Kelce has suffered a long-term injury.
“They’ll wait for swelling to go down and go from there,” Rapoport tweeted.
