The Facts: Kelce went down in Monday's practice with what looked to be a leg or ankle injury, giving the team a scare. Before Tuesday's practice, though, HC Andy Reid told reporters that Kelce just suffered a sprained ankle, not the dreaded high ankle sprain, and would be ready to play this week if the team had a regular-season game.
Diehards Line:
The Chiefs open the season Sept. 13, and there’s no reason for the team to rush its talented young tight end back for Thursday’s preseason finale. So,as PFT suggests, as long as Kelce can get back on the field Saturday or Sunday when the Chiefs really begin preparing for their opener vs. the Texans, Monday’s injury will quickly be forgotten.
