Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce left the field limping against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 10 with an ankle injury and his status for the remainder of the contest is now up in the air.
The Chiefs updated Kelce’s status after he headed to the locker room in the middle of the first quarter, and while the news wasn’t catastrophic by any means, it certainly wasn’t great either.
“Travis Kelce (ankle) & Jared Wiley (right ankle) are both questionable to return,” Nate Taylor of ESPN reported via X.
Travis Kelce Suffered Ankle Injury Against Chargers in Week 6, Was Able to Return to Action
For what it’s worth, former NFL doctor David Chao offered an optimistic diagnosis from afar based on the video evidence he saw during the play that knocked Kelce out, at least temporarily.
“Headed to locker room for left ankle,” Chao wrote. “Came in with recent ankle issues.”
“#TravisKelce limps off,” Chao wrote in a connected post. “By video, expecting a return.”
Kelce sustained an ankle injury against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 6. That injury also took place early in the contest. However, Kelce was able to get back onto the field for the remainder of that game and provide solid production.
So far this season, Kelce has 33 catches for 482 yards and two TDs. He added one grab for 23 yards before leaving the game against Atlanta. It was on that catch that Kelce suffered his injury.
