Barring any late injury or setback, Travis Kelce will play against the Steelers on Christmas Day. The tight end is listed as active on the Chiefs roster and should suit up for the Week 17 game.

Kelce did not pop up on the injury report this week. He took part in full practice sessions on Monday and Tuesday, which suggests that the Chiefs star is expected to play on Wednesday.

The Chiefs drafted Kelce in the third round of the 2013 NFL draft. Since then, he has earned nine Pro Bowl honors and won three Super Bowls with the franchise. However, Kelce's streak of Pro Bowl selections might end this season, unless he drops two big performances to close out the regular season.

Nonetheless, Kelce is renowned as a big game player and has a knack for stepping up in important moments. The Chiefs (14-1) will look to their tight end to deliver the goods at Acrisure Stadium on Wednesday.

How has Chiefs TE Travis Kelce performed this season?

Kelce has had a relatively quiet 2024 season in comparison to his usual high standards. He has still recorded 739 yards and two touchdowns on 89 receptions while playing in all 15 games for the Chiefs.

The Chiefs have already clinched their divisional title but will want Kelce to find his rhythm before the playoffs. He will have a good opportunity to build some momentum when Kansas City travels to Pittsburgh.
