Is Travis Kelce playing tonight? Chiefs TE's status revealed for Week 9 MNF showdown vs. Buccaneers

Travis Kelce has been in the spotlight for the Kansas City Chiefs ahead of their Week 9 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The superstar tight end got his first touchdown of the season in Week 8 against the Las Vegas Raiders, and Chiefs fans will hope that he can use that to kick on and get back to his best for the remainder of the season.

Barring any late injury or setback, Travis Kelce will play against the Buccaneers on Monday night. The Chiefs tight end is active on the team roster and kept away from the injury report in the buildup to Week 9.

Kelce has played in all of Kansas City's seven games this season. However, the nine-time Pro Bowler has not reached the heights of his high standards. The tight end has recorded 335 yards on 38 receptions and caught just one touchdown thus far.

While there's no denying that Kelce is one of the best tight ends in NFL history, the three-time Super Bowl winner will want to contribute more for his team moving forward this season.

The Chiefs are chasing a historic three-peat this season, and Kelce is expected to play a crucial role for the team, along with quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
