Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce hyperextended his knee ahead of the start of the season. Due to it, he missed the season opener against the Detroit Lions, and the Chiefs lost the game.
However, he did return in Week 2 and has played every game since then. Unfortunately, last week, Kelce suffered a lower ankle sprain against the Minnesota Vikings.
He left the game before halftime but later returned to score a touchdown to seal the win for his team. The Chiefs tight end didn't practice on Monday, and that had many people concerned about him. Will Kelce play in Week 6? Let's take a look at his injury update.

Travis Kelce Injury Update
As per the latest updates, Travis Kelce was limited in practice on Tuesday and did look in better shape. The Chiefs will play the Denver Broncos on Thursday night football this week, and a quick turnover could result in the team resting their star tight end.
However, with what we have seen from Kelce throughout his career, it's unlikely he will miss the game against their division rivals. The team might decrease his workload this week, but there is a very high possibility that he will play against the Broncos.
The Chiefs are off to a 4-1 start to the season and are aiming to extend their 15-game winning streak against the Denver Broncos.
Travis Kelce Fantasy Outlook
So far in four games this season, Travis Kelce has recorded 27 receptions for 222 yards and scored three touchdowns. He is averaging 55.5 yards per game and 8.2 yards per reception.
He is still by far the best tight end in the NFL, and since the Chiefs do not have a star-studded receiver group, their tight end will continue to put up monster numbers and help out Patrick Mahomes.
Despite missing Week 1 due to a knee injury, Kelce has recorded a total of 40.2 points in full PPR leagues and is ranked #4 among the players in his position. He is averaging 10.1 points per game, which is similar to Mark Andrews, and the number could increase going forward.
