Noah Gray sounds ready to step up if Travis Kelce misses season-opener vs. Lions

Suddenly, it’s possible the Kansas City Chiefs could be without more than just their best defensive player against the Detroit Lions on Thursday night. The team’s top offensive weapon, tight end Travis Kelce, “hyperextended” his knee in practice on Tuesday, according to head coach Andy Reid.

Following the news, media members surrounded the locker of Kansas City’s No. 2 tight end, Noah Gray. The Chiefs drafted Gray in the fifth round of the 2021 NFL Draft.

“Just got to go out there and play the game plan our coaches have set forth for us,” said Gray, alluding to the fact that it is too late to shift any strategy.
