KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Tight end Travis Kelce will miss the Chiefs’ preseason finale Thursday night against St. Louis after spraining his ankle in practice earlier this week. Chiefs coach Andy Reid said Tuesday it was a slight sprain and Kelce would have been able to play had it been the regular season. But with most of the starters getting the night off — if not all of them — it only made sense to keep Kelce out of the game.
Reid also said tight end Demetrius Harris could see time against the Rams. He returned to practice this week after a pair of surgeries to repair a fractured foot. Harris’s return was complicated by a staph infection that developed during his recovery.
