KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Travis Kelce will not play for the Kansas City Chiefs in Thursday night's NFL season opener against the Detroit Lions because of a hyperextended knee.
The Chiefs designated Kelce as questionable on their final injury report of the week. That bought them some time to make a final decision but in the end they announced Kelce as one of their inactive players for the game.
Kelce was injured in practice Tuesday. He has missed three games since his rookie season in 2013 but none because of injury.
