Travis Kelce Is Good to Go for Denver, and the Chiefs Offense Gets Its Safety Valve Back

By , ChiefsLand ·

Chiefs Kingdom, exhale. The ankle scare from Thursday is over, and No. 87 is on track for Denver.

Our Take: Kelce at less than 100 percent is still a problem for defenses, and having him plus Rashee Rice available for a road rematch with the Broncos is the best news Kansas City could get.

The Chiefs' official Friday injury report shows Kelce (ankle) as a full participant with no game status after a limited practice Thursday. Rashee Rice (hamstring/knee) also went full Friday with no designation, and Patrick Mahomes (knee) practiced fully all week. L'Jarius Sneed (knee) and Mansoor Delane (shoulder) are questionable, R Mason Thomas is questionable for personal reasons, and Omarr Norman-Lott (knee) is out.

CBS Sports notes Kelce has been dealing with the ankle for a couple of weeks, played through it at Seattle with four catches for 44 yards on eight targets, and hasn't scored since Week 3.

What to watch: Third downs in Denver. Denver won't make it easy, and the offense may need long drives, and that is where Kelce has always been at his best. A Kelce touchdown would be a nice way to end that drought.
