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

Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce will miss Kansas City's game vs. the Steelers after not clearing the NFL's COVID-19 protocols on 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.
