Chiefs star Travis Kelce shakes off an ankle injury with a key TD catch after his brief absence
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce left the game with a right ankle injury in the second quarter at Minnesota
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Travis Kelce was hurting at halftime, having limped off the field with an injury to his right ankle and Kansas City in a tied game at Minnesota.
Patrick Mahomes knew better than to bother his close friend and favorite receiver with a question about his status. He also wasn't too worried about Kelce coming back.
“I feel like Travis has the same mindset I do,” Mahomes said. “If you give him a window to get back in the game, he’s going to be back in the game. Competitor, man. That’s why he’s one of the greatest, that he can battle through stuff like that.”
After missing the better part of two drives, Kelce shook it off and returned in plenty of time to help the Chiefs survive another uneven performance and defeat the Vikings 27-20 on Sunday.
