Travis Kelce ruled out of Chiefs’ game vs. Titans with a concussion

Travis Kelce left the Chiefs’ game against the Titans after taking a hit to the head on a second down late in the first half. Kelce was wobbly getting up and had to be held up by some of his teammates.

This was the hit that sent Kelce to the locker room:

He would be taken to the locker room, and the Chiefs would score a touchdown on the drive to make it a 21-3 game going into halftime. The Chiefs later ruled Kelce out for the remainder of the game.

Kelce immediately being taken to the locker room is a new requirement, thanks to the Seahawks:

What does this mean for the Chiefs? Kelce is one of the best tight ends in the NFL, and he’s a key part of the Chiefs’ offense. He plays in many spots on the field with his 6’5, 260-pound frame, and it shows every Sunday.

This season, Kelce had 83 receptions for 1,038 yards and eight touchdowns. He was second only to Tyreek Hill in yards receiving and first in receiving touchdowns.

It’s not Kelce’s first concussion this season. In October, he suffered a hit to the head against the Texans and initially remained in the game. But after a second evaluation, he would be removed from the game.

Demetrius Harris will be getting more time as Kelce is evaluated, and played in 16 games this season. He had 18 receptions for 224 yards and a touchdown on the season.
