KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Chiefs coaches and athletic trainers occasionally force Travis Kelce to take a limited role in practice, just as they did this week as the team prepares to visit the Tennessee Titans on Sunday.
It’s usually the last thing the 32-year-old tight end wants to do.
“I was itching at the bit to have every single rep that I could possibly get out there,” Kelce said Thursday. “That’s just who I am. I’m a big believer in getting my reps in during the week, making sure everything looks good.”
Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy puts it bluntly: “Travis is a tough, smart, hard-nosed football.”
