Travis Kelce Shakes Off Ankle Sprain For Third Score

Travis Kelce Shakes Off Ankle Sprain For Third Score

one year ago

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce (ankle) caught 10-of-11 targets for 67 yards and a touchdown in Week 5's 27-20 win over the Minnesota Vikings. Kelce had a chance to find the end zone early on Sunday but couldn't corral an end-zone target on KC's opening drive. A subdued first half saw him log just 22 yards on five catches before he slipped to the turf and exited the game on a non-contact injury. But the 34-year-old superstar got his right ankle up taped up during halftime and made his presence felt promptly upon his return, making an acrobatic catch that required a long review after it appeared a Vikings defender ripped it away from him. Kelce didn't stop there, as he got wide open for a four-yard touchdown to cap off a five-catch, 45-yard drive. The perennial Pro Bowler has a quick turnaround ahead of Thursday Night Football versus the division-rival Denver Broncos, so Kelce's Week 6 practice status will be a critical storyline on the short week.
