The Kansas City Chiefs improved to 6-0 on the season after defeating the Los Angeles Chargers 22-6 following their bye week. The matchup got off to a jolting start when Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce briefly left the field with an ankle injury after a tackle by Chargers linebacker Daiyan Henley. Kelce returned to finish the game, tallying 4 receptions on 5 targets for 53 yards.
After the game, Chiefs head coach Andy Reid provided an update on Kelce’s status. He said Kelce tweaked his ankle and would be sore the next day, but he expected Kelce to be OK moving forward. Kelce, who is 37 years old, has already shown durability this season, recording 16 receptions for 246 yards and two touchdowns through six games. Kelce walked into the locker room after the game with a broad smile, signaling his positive mood despite the brief scare.
