The world stopped on its axis Tuesday when we heard about Travis Kelce during the Kansas City Chiefs' practice. Luckily, we know that the Chiefs got some better news than they could have gotten.
There is still a ton we don't know, though. We don't know if Kelce will play on Thursday against the Detroit Lions.
But we do know what Jason Kelce, Travis' brother, recently said about the injury, giving a bit of an update on the radio.
"Talked to him yesterday, and I've done the same thing: you plant, or you do something, and your knee hyper-extends. I mean, if I'm being truthful, the last time I did this, I was making a bonfire outside, and I thought I was strong enough to kick a piece of wood in half, and I hyper-extended my knee and did the same thing," Jason Kelce said.
While Jason didn't miss any time with his, that doesn't mean Travis won't. The two both have different bodies; every injury is different, and they play different positions requiring different knee movements.
"It was in the middle of the season, but my knee did swell up, and I was like, man, that was the dumbest thing I've done in a long time. But, yeah, his was out on the field. I know he's got some swelling going on. But, it sounds like as long as they can get that down, you know, he's going to have a chance to go. The ligament is intact structurally from what we know right now," Jason continued.
"So, really, it's about getting that swelling down and then seeing how bruised that bone is because if you guys have ever had those, they can be pretty painful, especially if it's in a spot that's rubbing all the time and that can kind of shut down your muscles and things.
We should still keep an eye on Travis' injury, but that doesn't mean this isn't fantastic news. If anyone knows
