"I know he's got some swelling going on, but it sounds like as long as they can get that down, he's going to have a chance to go," said Kelce during an appearance on the 94WIP Morning Show on Wednesday. "The ligaments and everything are intact, structurally. From what we know right now, his knee is fine. So really it's about getting that swelling down and seeing how bruised that bone is... I think he is going to be good to go, I really do."
Travis Kelce, who turns 33 in October, hyperextended his knee during Tuesday's practice, and plans to test his knee on Wednesday to see if he can play in the season opener Thursday night.
"I talked to him [Tuesday] and I've done the same thing," Jason said. "You just plant or you do something and your knee hyperextends. If I'm being truthful, the last time I did this I was making a bonfire outside and I thought I was strong enough to kick a piece of wood in half and I hyperextended my knee and did the same thing, bone bruise."
Travis has missed just three games since the 2014 season - two for rest and one for COVID-19 in 2021.
