Important news regarding Chiefs TE Travis Kelce's knee injury and his availability for Week 1 against the Lions has just broken.

[{"selector":"#anim-2d0d58a0-3018-43a2-bfb8-870e59c9773d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":600,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-809f9a47-86cd-4412-97d1-a2b5ac9ccda8","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 186.82704%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":600,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Travis Kelce, a top tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, injured his knee in a hyperextended position during Tuesday's practice.

Only two days remain until the start of the season,

Six times, Kelce has played in every game for the Chiefs during the regular season.
