Week 18 of the NFL season comes shrouded in mystery when it comes to player availability — especially when the game has no postseason implications. That will be the case this Sunday when the Kansas City Chiefs travel to the West Coast to play their final game of the regular season against the Los Angeles Chargers.
We know that quarterback Blaine Gabbert will start the game, but that’s about it in terms of offensive playing time. Many have suggested tight end Travis Kelce may appear in the game briefly to get to his eighth straight season of 1,000 yards (the magic number is now 16), but he was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday’s injury report with a neck issue.
