Travis Kelce Exits Chiefs-Vikings Game After Limping Off Field With Painful Injury

The Chiefs star tight end limped back to the locker room after leaving the game.

Kansas City Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce exited Sunday’s game against the Vikings after suffering what looked like a leg injury after making a catch in the second quarter. 

Kelce, whose relationship with Taylor Swift has been the biggest storyline of the 2023 NFL season, looked like he was reaching down towards his lower right leg after letting go of the football.

Update: Kelce made his way back to the Chiefs’ sideline after halftime and returned to action on the team’s second drive of the third quarter: 

"I was just told he's gonna try and give it a go. They're leaving it up to him. He wants to play in this game, guys."
