Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce will remain on the COVID-19 reserve list and miss Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, per ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Kelce did not clear protocols in time to compete on Sunday.
Kelce has been durable throughout his career, appearing in at least 15 games in each of the previous seven seasons entering the 2021 campaign.
When healthy, he is arguably the best tight end in the league. He has 83 catches for 1,066 yards and seven touchdowns this season, which marks his sixth consecutive year with more than 1,000 receiving yards.
