Travis Kelce, Jared Wiley injured in first quarter of Chiefs-Falcons game
Kelce aggravated an ankle injury after a 23-yard catch, and the Chiefs said they could be down two tight ends for the rest of the game.
- On Sunday, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and backup Jared Wiley both exited the game against the Atlanta Falcons with ankle injuries during the first quarter.
- Kelce, who has managed an ankle issue for the past month, suffered an apparent aggravation after a tackle by Atlanta safety DeMarcco Hellams, which fans described as a 'dirty' play.
- Despite the injuries, the Chiefs secured an early 7-0 lead following a 12-yard touchdown catch by running back Emmett Johnson, marking Kelce's 200th consecutive game with a reception.
- Kansas City will rely on backup Noah Gray for the remainder of the game after Wiley was carted to the locker room; Gray recorded a career-high 437 receiving yards in 2024.
- The Chiefs entered Sunday's contest already missing running back Kenneth Walker III, leaving them shorthanded; with Kelce questionable and Wiley ruled out, roster depth concerns loom for the remainder of the season.
