The Chiefs look to get both of their stars back in week 2 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Chris Jones as signed a deal, and Travis Kelce is looking more and more like he could play.
The Kansas City Chiefs will have their star defensive tackle back in uniform after Chris Jones agreed to terms on a new one-year deal. The four-time Pro Bowler was set to enter the final season of a four-year, $80-million extension signed in July 2020. He was due $19.5 million in 2023 under the previous terms of his deal. In the revised agreement, Jones can earn the following incentives to take his deal up to $25.17 million.
As for Travis Kelce, he seems to be on the mend. He wanted to play in Thursday night’s loss to Detroit, but Andy Reid and Chiefs trainer Rick Burkholder decided to make him inactive for the season opener to give him more time to heal. “Travis is getting better,” Reid said. “We’ll see how he does the rest of today or tomorrow and we’ll go from there.”
The 10 days off from the Thursday night game will for sure give Kelce more time to heal. He is still listed as questionable for the contest as of September 13th. There should be more news in the coming 2-3 days about his status for Sunday.
Jay Glazer had this to say as of September 10th; “Now, yesterday, they actually put him in his stance and wanted to see if it swelled after, it looked good,” Glazer said. “Today, as we speak, he’s at the facility working on the muscles around it. That test is passing as well. Tomorrow they’re gonna try and run him. As long as it doesn’t swell, he’ll play next week.”
