Kansas City Chiefs tight end \ufeffTravis Kelce\ufeff is officially listed as questionable for Thursday night’s tilt against the Denver Broncos.<\/p>\n
Kelce was a limited participant in practice on Tuesday and Wednesday, giving him a shot to suit up on the short week.<\/p>\n
The tight end suffered an ankle injury in the first half of Sunday’s win over the Minnesota Vikings. Kelce slipped to the turf on a non-contact play and limped to the sidelines. He went to the locker room early but emerged just before the third quarter kicked off.<\/p>\n
Kelce missed the Chiefs’ first drive of the second half but entered on the second. He helped spearhead a touchdown drive, catching five passes on the possession, including the score that put K.C. up 14 points.<\/p>\n
With the quick turnaround to Thursday night, it was unclear if Kelce could go in Week 6, but the trend through the week provides optimism.<\/p>\n
Kelce leads the Chiefs with 37 targets, 27 receptions, 222 receiving yards and three TD catches despite missing Week 1 with a knee bruise — his first missed game due to injury since his 2013 rookie season.<\/p>\n
The Chiefs also listed defensive end \ufeffGeorge Karlaftis\ufeff (hamstring) and punter \ufeffTommy Townsend\ufeff (knee) as questionable.<\/p>\n
