Jason Kelce announced on Wednesday's 94WIP Morning Show that he will play in Sunday's season opener against the Detroit Lions.
"Yes, I'll play for sure," he said.
Kelce, 34, had routine elbow surgery on his right elbow about a month ago, putting his 122 consecutive start streak in jeopardy.
"The elbow is great," Kelce assured. "I practiced for the first time last week. Elbow feels really good, feels better than it's felt in probably a couple of years, honestly.
"Looking forward to getting back out there and being back out there with my teammates a little bit more than I have been."
The four-time first-team All-Pro and five-time Pro Bowl center was contemplating retirement in the offseason, but he is ready to go and will anchor one of — if not the — best offensive lines in the NFL.
