Things are not looking good for the Chiefs just hours before the game.
According to FOX Sports’ Jay Glazer, Travis Kelce is truly a game-time decision for Sunday’s AFC Championship after hurting his back in practice earlier this week.
“There is [a big] question mark with the Chiefs right now, that’s their tight end Travis Kelce. The very last play of practice on Friday he went up for a pass, his back locked up. They had to give him anti-inflammatories Friday, Saturday and this morning. They still don’t know if he can go … they’re naming him a game-time decision. … They said before we make a decision we really need to see him run. … They’re holding their breathe on Travis Kelce, a guy who really never misses any action.”
His injury occurred on the last play of practice when he went up for a pass and his back locked up. He had to get an anti-inflammatory on Friday, Saturday and Sunday morning.
Kelce hasn’t missed a game in nine years.
He would have to be in pretty bad shape to miss a game of this magnitude.
