Tight end position will be in spotlight for Chiefs’ final preseason game

It appears the Chiefs caught a break on the injury front.

Chiefs coach Andy Reid said tight end Travis Kelce, who left practice early on Monday because of a lower leg injury and did not practice Tuesday, only has a slightly sprained ankle.

“It looked like he got his foot caught in the grass and tweaked his ankle a little bit,” Reid said Tuesday. “I think he’s lucky the grass gave way a little bit, actually.”

Reid also said Kelce’s injury was not a high ankle sprain, which is more serious, and added that he could likely play this week if the Chiefs had a regular-season game.
