Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid provided some insight on the potential absence of star tight end Travis Kelce for their upcoming game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Reid strongly hinted that Kelce will not be able to take the field this week.

Kelce suffered a concussion during last Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns and has been going through the league's concussion protocol this week. While Reid did not explicitly rule out Kelce's availability, his comments strongly suggested that the talented tight end will not be cleared to play.

The Chiefs are heading into a crucial divisional matchup against the Chargers, and Kelce's absence would undoubtedly be a significant blow for the team.

As one of the premier tight ends in the league, Kelce's impact on the Chiefs' offense cannot be understated. Known for his exceptional receiving abilities and game-changing playmaking, Kelce has consistently emerged as a key weapon for Kansas City.

If Kelce is indeed unable to play, it will be a challenging obstacle for the Chiefs to overcome. However, with their high-powered offense led by quarterback Patrick Mahomes, the team will need to rely on their other offensive weapons to step up in Kelce's absence.

Reid's hint regarding Kelce's status highlights the importance of player safety in the NFL. The league's concussion protocol is designed to protect players and ensure their long-term well-being. While it may be disappointing for fans to not see Kelce on the field, prioritizing his health is the right decision.
