Travis Kelce left the first half of the Chiefs Sunday Night Football matchup with the Texans to be evaluated for a concussion. He was cleared to return, but he was kept out in the second half to be checked for a head injury once more.

Jeanna Kelley has been covering the Falcons for The Falcoholic since 2011 and the NFL for SB Nation since 2015.
Kelce took an ugly helmet-to-helmet hit after hauling in a 26-yard catch from Alex Smith in the second quarter.
Even though he’s out of the game, Kelce is still Kansas City’s leading receiver tonight as the fourth quarter gets underway. Kelce had eight catches on 11 targets for 98 yards.
It’s been an ugly night for injuries. Texans defensive end J.J. Watt will miss the rest of the season with a fractured tibial plateau, and outside linebacker Whitney Mercilus was ruled out for the rest of the game with a chest injury.
The Chiefs lead the Texans 23-13.
