Oct. 11 Update — Kelce is officially listed as questionable to play on Thursday night due to his ankle injury. The weather looks like it could be rainy and windy, so there is some chance the team plays it safe against a bad Broncos team, but it appears he has a reasonable chance to play.
Oct. 10 Update — Kelce is expected to practice on Tuesday. It’s a short week for him ahead of Thursday’s game, but practicing Tuesday is a good sign.
The Chiefs say that everybody should practice on Tuesday, which includes Nick Bolton, Mike Danna, Travis Kelce and Drue Tranquill.

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce was listed as a Did Not Practice on Monday ahead of the Chiefs’ Week 6 game against the Denver Broncos. The Chiefs have a quick turnaround this week with a Thursday night game. Kelce sustained a low ankle sprain ona no-contact play in the Chiefs’ Week 5 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings, but was able to return to the field.

Fantasy football implications for Week 6
If Kelce is out or limited for Week 6, we can expect backup Noah Gray to take most of the snaps at tight end. Gray had two receptions for 21 yards in Week 5, and has put up 133 receiving yards and one touchdown so far this season.
We can also expect the Chiefs’ wide receivers to get more looks if Kelce is out. Skyy Moore and Rashee Rice could see an uptick in targets, and keep an eye on Justin Watson this week, as well.
