19 Oct
Summary
- Travis Kelce suffered an ankle injury during the game.
- He was seen getting his ankle taped on the sidelines.
- Coach Andy Reid confirmed Kelce played through the injury.
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce experienced a concerning moment during Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers when he fell and appeared to twist his right ankle. He was later observed on the sidelines receiving treatment and having his ankle taped.
Despite the visible discomfort, Kelce remained in the game, which the Chiefs ultimately won 22-6. Post-game, head coach Andy Reid confirmed that Kelce had been playing through an ankle injury. This was echoed by former NFL team doctor David Chao, who, based on video, diagnosed a mild right high eversion ankle sprain, noting it was possible to tape and continue playing.
While Kelce successfully played through the injury, there is no immediate word on his availability for the upcoming Week 7 game against the Seattle Seahawks. Coach Reid did not indicate that the injury would keep Kelce sidelined.
