Injury report update, Sept. 15 — Kelce is officially listed as questionable, but as we reported earlier, head coach Andy Reid expects him to play. His presence will of course be a huge boon for the Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes.

Update, Sept. 15 — Travis Kelce was back for one more practice on Friday and is expected to play on Sunday. Head coach Andy Reid told the media that Kelce and defensive tackle Chris Jones both will play “as long as nothing happens,” per Cameron Wolfe. There is no word on if Kelce will face any kind of pitch count on Sunday.

And for those wondering, Kelce is having a good time with things.

Update, Sept. 14 — Travis Kelce was limited on Wednesday and Thursday, but beat writer accounts report he looks healthy on the field. We will want to see him get in a full practice on Friday, but he should be trending toward playing this week.

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce hopes to make a swift return in Week 2 after dealing with a bone bruise in Week 1, which kept him out of the Chiefs Week 1 loss to the Lions.

The Chiefs hope to rebound in Jacksonville in Week 2 when they take on a good Jaguars team. Their chances should be better, as Kelce looks poised to return. He will be limited on Wednesday, according to Andy Reid, but all signs point to him being ready to go in Week 2.

Fantasy football implications for Week 2

Kelce is Patrick Mahomes No. 1 target and his presence helps the other receivers find more room. The team will also get DE Chris Jones back, which is huge for their defense. With those two guys back and the Chiefs on the verge of going 0-2, they will be in a good position to put their best foot forward.
