Travis Kelce Gives Encouraging Update on Patrick Mahomes' Recovery
Travis Kelce says Patrick Mahomes looks fully healthy in camp, 'not thinking about the knee' as he progresses toward Week 1.
Travis Kelce, the star tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, has provided a positive update on his teammate Patrick Mahomes' recovery from a severe injury. At 36 years old, Kelce has already established himself as one of the greatest tight ends in NFL history, but he confirmed in March that he would be returning for another season.
Kelce's decision to re-sign with the Chiefs was greatly influenced by his strong bond with Mahomes. Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Kelce expressed his admiration for Mahomes, calling him "a brother to me" and praising his resilience in overcoming adversity. Despite Mahomes suffering a torn ACL and LCL during a Week 14 game against the Los Angeles Chargers last season, he has been making steady progress throughout training camp.
Mahomes continues to play at a high level, focusing solely on competing without dwelling on his injury. With only about a month left until the first game, Kelce's confidence is high, indicating that Mahomes is expected to be ready for the Chiefs' opening match against the Denver Broncos on Monday, September 14, at Arrowhead Stadium.
