Travis Kelce injury update Latest news o

Yet another Chiefs offensive player is questionable to play in Sunday's AFC championship game vs. the Bengals.The latest player to suffer an injury is All-Pro tight end Travis Kelce, who reportedly suffered back spasms in practice on Friday, despite Sheldon Rankins Jersey being a full participant. He appeared on Kansas City's injury report for the day, in which he was listed as "questionable" to play vs. Cincinnati.Kelce's absence or inability to play at full speed would compound another injury scare on the Chiefs: that of Patrick Mahomes, who suffered a high ankle sprain in the divisional-round victory over the Jaguars. Kelce is one of his favorite targets, and can alleviate any injury-related i sues from the quarterback, who was not on Friday's injury list.Whether that pairing can be nearly as efficient on Sunday following Kelce's back injury remains to be seen. Reports indicate he will attempt to play vs. Cincinnati on Sunday as the team looks to make its third Super Bowl berth in four seasons. The Bengals beat the Chiefs in this game last year to earn the trip to Los Angeles' SoFi Stadium for Super Bowl 56.MORE: Here's the latest news and injury updates regarding Kelce's back injury: ESPN reporter Adam Schefter reported early Sunday that Kelce is expected to play vs. the Bengals:Chiefs TE Travis Kelce, who is listed as questionable for Sundays AFC Championship Game after experiencing back spasms during practice last week, is La'Mical Perine Jersey expected to play vs. the Bengals, per source.

His previous game vs. Cincinnati last game's AFC title game lo s saw him catch 10 pa ses for 95 yards and a score.Both lo ses were by three points, as was the 2022 regular-season meeting before that. If the Chiefs want to clear the hurdle vs. Cincinnati, Kelce will need to play a big part. The Chiefs have given no further updates on Kelce's status following the Friday injury report, so his official status heading into Sunday's game (for now) is "questionable."
