Super Bowl 57 between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles has been dubbed the “Kelce Bowl.” Will Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce be playing in the game?

Super Bowl 57 between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles has been dubbed a couple of nicknames. First, there was the “Andy Reid Bowl,” considering the head coach had lengthy stints with both teams playing in the big game. Then, there was the “Kelce Bowl,” due in part since the matchup will feature Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce facing his older brother, Eagles center Jason Kelce.

There was concern heading into the AFC Championship Game for the Chiefs, as Kelce was listed as a game-time decision for the matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. Kelce was cleared for the game, and he had a huge performance.

For those wondering if Kelce will be playing in Super Bowl 57, we have the answer for you.

Will Travis Kelce play in Super Bowl 57 for Chiefs?

Yes, Travis Kelce is playing in Super Bowl 57.

Even with the game-time decision two weeks ago, Kelce never appeared on the team’s injury report throughout this week. So, he is cleared to play, and looking to help lead the Chiefs to their third Lombardi Trophy in franchise history.

Speaking of the AFC Championship Game, Kelce played like he wasn’t dealing with a back issue. Kelce caught seven-of-eight targets from quarterback Patrick Mahomes for 78 yards and a touchdown.

In the regular-season, Kelce led the Chiefs with 110 receptions for 1,338 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns on 152 targets.

Not being placed on the injury report means that Travis Kelce is a full-go for Super Bowl 57. That is great for the Chiefs, as he is a true game-changer when he’s on the football field.
