Is Travis Kelce playing tonight? Why Chiefs TE is off to quiet start in Week 17 image

This could be the last time we see Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce playing at Arrowhead Stadium.

That's because Kelce is a candidate to retire following this season after he flirted with doing so at the conclusion of the 2024 campaign.

Unfortunately, Kelce's potential last game in front of the Chiefs' home crowd is not off to a good start, as he's struggling to get going early on in Week 17 against the Denver Broncos.

Here's a closer look at what's going on.

Is Travis Kelce playing tonight?

Yes, Kelce is healthy and active, but he wasn't targeted on the Chiefs' first offensive series of the game.

It's going to be tough for Kelce to get going tonight. Not only is he facing an elite defense, he also has the Chiefs' third-string quarterback, Chris Oladokun, throwing him the football with Patrick Mahomes and Gardner Minshew both injured.
