Report: Chiefs' Travis Kelce to Miss Sunday's Game vs. Steelers in COVID-19 Protocols

He has 83 catches for 1,066 yards and seven touchdowns this season.

Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce will miss Kansas City's game vs. the Steelers after not clearing the NFL's COVID-19 protocols Sunday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

On Monday, Kelce was added to the team's reserve/COVID-19 list. 

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported at the time that Kelce was vaccinated, and as a result needed to be asymptomatic and test negative twice before returning.

He has 83 catches for 1,066 yards and seven touchdowns this season, marking his sixth consecutive 1,000-plus yard season. Earlier in the season, he passed Rob Gronkowski for fifth-most receiving yards by a TE in NFL history and reached 8,000 career receiving yards faster than anyone at the position, as well.

While Kelce is out, Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill cleared COVID-19 protocols Saturday and will play vs. the Steelers.

Kansas City enters Sunday's game with Pittsburgh 10–4 on the season. It can clinch the AFC West title Sunday with a win and a Los Angeles Chargers loss or tie and can clinch a playoff berth with a win

Kickoff is set for 4:25 p.m. ET.
