Kelce advances to next stage of concussion protocol | The Kansas City Star

The Chiefs received a bit of positive news recently, as tight end Travis Kelce advanced to the next level of the NFL’s concussion protocol and was expected to practice on a limited basis Thursday.

Kelce, who missed practice on Wednesday, sat out the second half of the Chiefs’ 42-34 win over the Houston Texans on Sunday after absorbing a shot to the head shortly before halftime.

Kelce was cleared in the sideline tent and re-entered the game briefly before halftime, when Chiefs coach Andy Reid said it was discovered Kelce wasn’t remembering things clearly.

Kelce, 28, leads the Chiefs in receptions (29) and targets (37) and is second inreceiving yards (353) and touchdowns (two).
