Kanas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce will miss tonight's 2023 NFL Kickoff Game against the Detroit Lions due to the knee injury he suffered early this week, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported on Thursday.
The eight-time Pro Bowl tight end suffered what was initially described by Chiefs head coach Andy Reid as a hyperextended knee during Tuesday's practice. Rapoport and NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero later categorized the injury as a bone bruise, which is not believed to be a long-term issue.
Nonetheless, Kelce, 33, will miss his first game due to injury since his rookie season in 2013.
