Chiefs get great news on Travis Kelce as they try to lock up No. 1 seed

The Kansas City Chiefs received great news regarding tight end Travis Kelce ahead of Sunday’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Unfortunately, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce landed on the reserve/COVID-19 list last Monday. As a result, he missed the team’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday.

Well, Kelce is set to return to the Chiefs’ active roster before tomorrow’s practice, according to Nate Taylor of The Athletic.

The news is a great sign regarding Kelce’s availability for Sunday’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Travis Kelce is set to return to the Chiefs’ active roster as they try to lock up the top seed in the AFC

The Chiefs’ offense was impressive against the Steelers in Kelce’s absence, as they scored 36 points against Pittsburgh’s talented defense. Nevertheless, Kelce should give the offense a huge boost. Prior to landing on the reserve/COVID-19 list, Kelce had a monster game against the Los Angeles Chargers with ten receptions for 191 yards and two touchdowns.

In 14 games this season, Kelce has already eclipsed 1,000 receiving yards for the sixth consecutive season. According to StatMuse, no other tight end in NFL history has even posted 1,000 receiving yards in five individual seasons.

The Chiefs are currently the number one seed in the AFC with an 11-4 record. The Tennesse Titans are right behind them at 10-5. This week, the Chiefs can clinch the top seed in the AFC with a victory over the Bengals and a Titans’ loss to the Dolphins.

After a lackluster start, the Chiefs have won eight straight games. Their offense, in particular, has been exceptional. They are averaging a blistering 39.3 points per game over their last three games.
