Travis Kelce’s ankle injury raises fresh concerns ahead of Chiefs-Broncos clash

Travis Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs' star tight end, has been listed as limited in practice due to an ankle injury, raising concerns for the team ahead of their divisional game against the Denver Broncos. At 37 years old, Kelce had been fully involved in his first practice before being restricted the following day. The Chiefs are monitoring his condition for the crucial AFC West matchup.

Kelce suffered a similar ankle injury during the Chiefs' 22-6 win over the Los Angeles Chargers, limping off the field for treatment but eventually finishing the game with four catches for 53 yards. This comes as Kelce continues to make NFL history, surpassing Hall of Famers Marvin Harrison and Cris Carter to move into fifth place on the NFL's all-time receptions list.

Despite initial optimism from Chiefs head coach Andy Reid regarding a "tweaked ankle," Kelce's return to full practice participation was brief, leaving his availability in question. Kelce has had a productive season, recording 24 catches for 343 yards and two touchdowns across six games, including 71 receiving yards against Denver in their season opener.

The Chiefs are currently leading the AFC West at 5-1, with Denver trailing at 5-2. The final injury designation for Kelce will provide a clearer picture of his availability for the matchup.
