Update Travis Kelce returned to the game midway through the first quarter after spending a lot of time in the locker room.
Patrick Mahomes looks at Travis Kelce early in Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons.
But that first quarter contact could prove costly for the Kansas City Chiefs.
Mahomes connected with the tight end for a 23-yard gain on Kansas City’s opening drive, but gingerly walked to the sideline following a tackle from behind Kelce and eventually headed to the locker room under the supervision of trainers.
This is the play that saw Kelce sprain his left ankle after Atlanta quarterback DeMarco Hellams received a pass.
Kelce left the field in obvious pain, and was then seen getting his left ankle taped by trainers. But the tape work wasn’t to be enough, as Kelce walked gingerly into the locker room for further evaluation under the supervision of the Kansas City coaches.
Here’s a replay angle on Kelsey:
The Chiefs listed Kelce as questionable to return with an ankle injury.
