Is Travis Kelce playing today? Chiefs TE's status revealed for Week 7 Super Bowl LVIII rematch

The Chiefs take on the 49ers in a Super Bowl LVIII rematch, and Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce will hope that the result replicates as well. Kansas City won that game with Taylor Swift in attendance as she saw her boyfriend win his first ring since their relationship became official.

However, the singer won't be in attendance today, and that has some wondering if the tight end is fit to play. The reason Taylor Swift won't be there is because she has concerts planned in Miami and has nothing to do with Travis Kelce's fitness. He's slated to play the game and is fit to go.

He was not a part of the injury report throughout the week. Patrick Mahomes will need his connection with him on the field if the Chiefs are to beat the 49ers. They are already missing Hollywood Brown and Rashee Rice, with JuJu Smith-Schuster also questionable, so not having the tight end isn't an option.

Travis Kelce and Chiefs can show their Super Bowl intentions by defeating 49ers

Travis Kelce and the Chiefs have the opportunity to lay down a marker by beating the 49ers. Not only would that mean that they defeat one of the best teams in the NFC, but it would also that Kansas City remains undefeated going into Week 8. After the Lions beat the Vikings earlier in the day, they are the only franchise with a perfect record in 2024.

For a team that hasn't been shy about making history by becoming the first organization to win three consecutive Super Bowls, it will be an important message to send to the rest of the league. The Chiefs are missing two of their top receivers and starting running back Isiah Pacheco.

Any other team in this situation would have had a legitimate reason to say why they were struggling. However, Andy Reid has ensured that there's no letoff in the standards in the Kansas City locker room. Veteran players like Mahomes and Kelce have been instrumental in that.

The defense has been a huge plus for the Chiefs too. Defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo has been phenomenal in slowing the opposition down. It seems we have seen this pan out in 2023 too, as Kansas City struggled in the regular season on offense. However, Kelce and Mahomes turned on the magic during the playoffs, and one needn't remind the 49ers how it ended.
