Travis Kelce injured after teammate pushed him during practice for Super Bowl LIX vs Eagles Kansas City Chiefs fans were left holding their breath after a video emerged showing tight end Travis Kelce appearing to injure himself during practice ahead of Super Bowl LVIII.

 

Kansas City Chiefs fans were left holding their breath after a video emerged showing tight end Travis Kelce appearing to injure himself during practice ahead of Super Bowl LVIII. With just over a week to go until the Chiefs face off against the Philadelphia Eagles for the biggest game of the season, Kelce’s playful antics at practice had fans concerned.

The incident occurred when Kelce, known for his charismatic and fun-loving personality, was seen joking around and pretending to throw down a slam dunk on defensive end Charles Omenihu. After “dunking,” Kelce landed on both feet before losing his balance and falling backward onto the turf. The 35-year-old got up quickly, laughing off the fall, seemingly no worse for wear.

However, the clip sparked a wave of concern from fans on social media, with many urging Kelce to be cautious just days before the Super Bowl. One fan wrote, “We have been praying for those knees every week, please be mindful, sir!” Another user tweeted, “Maybe be careful, guys,” while a third expressed concern, saying, “Kelce torn Achilles before the SB trying to dunk on our line would ruin me.”

 

 

Despite the fall, Kelce continued his lighthearted demeanor, but the video left fans on edge, hoping he could stay healthy through the final game of the season.

Kelce and his quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, are on a mission to make NFL history by leading the Chiefs to their third consecutive Super Bowl title. The veteran tight end had an unremarkable performance in the AFC Championship win against the Buffalo Bills but was a key player in the team’s success throughout the season, including a standout performance in the AFC Divisional Round against the Houston Texans.

Chiefs head coach Andy Reid recently praised Kelce’s football intelligence, leadership, and potential future as a coach. Reid, who has worked with Kelce since he was drafted in 2013, said that Kelce’s deep understanding of the game makes him an ideal candidate for coaching once his playing career is over. “Travis would be a heck of a football coach,” Reid said. “He’s able to get up there and explain things and teach these young guys what he sees and feels.”

While Kelce has not yet publicly discussed a post-playing career as a coach, Reid’s endorsement hints that it could be a natural progression after he hangs up his cleats. For now, Kelce remains fully focused on his current role as a key leader for the Chiefs, with Super Bowl LVIII against the Eagles just days away. Fans will be hoping that Kelce’s playful fall at practice doesn’t lead to any lingering injuries, as the Chiefs strive to make history in New Orleans.
