Kansas City Chiefs TE Travis Kelce still in COVID-19 protocol; out vs. Pittsburgh Steelers

Kansas City Chiefs Pro Bowl tight end Travis Kelce did not clear protocols Sunday morning and is out for the team's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Kelce, along with linebacker Nick Bolton and offensive tackle Lucas Niang were added to Kansas City's active roster Saturday in the hope they could clear the NFL's COVID-19 protocols in time to take on the Steelers in a pivotal game, but all three failed to test out of the protocols.

On Sunday, the Chiefs will be without six players who will remain on their COVID-19 list.
