Were this the regular season, Travis Kelce wouldn't be sidelined for the game.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Tight end Travis Kelce will miss the Chiefs' preseason finale Thursday night against St. Louis after spraining his ankle in practice earlier this week.

Chiefs coach Andy Reid said Tuesday it was a slight sprain and Kelce would have been able to play had it been the regular season. But with most of the starters getting the night off -- if not all of them -- it only made sense to keep Kelce out of the game.
