{"id":2539,"section":"sports","section_label":"Sports","url":"https://www.brokenews.co/sports/2539","headline":"Travis Kelce exits Chiefs-Falcons game with ankle injury","dek":"Kelce was hurt after being tackled by DeMarcco Hellams and was ruled questionable to return.","body":"Travis Kelce's day ended early. The Chiefs tight end hauled in a 23-yard catch on Kansas City's opening drive against the Atlanta Falcons, but after being tackled from behind by DeMarcco Hellams, Kelce walked gingerly to the sideline.\n\nHe did not return right away, and the team listed him as questionable with an ankle injury. Patrick Mahomes had looked his way early, connecting on that opening-drive gain before the injury occurred.\n\nKelce remains a central piece of Kansas City's offense, so any absence, even a temporary one, changes how the Chiefs operate through the air. For now the severity is unclear, with the questionable designation leaving open the possibility he could return later in the game.","published_at":"2026-11-15T19:34:25.681131+00:00","source_count":5,"written_from":[{"outlet":"SB Nation","publisher":"SB Nation","title":"Travis Kelce injury: Chiefs TE hurts ankle vs. Falcons","url":"https://www.sbnation.com/nfl/1136269/travis-kelce-injury-chiefs-video-falcons"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Travis Kelce injury update as Chiefs TE exits game vs Falcons","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/travis-kelce-injury-chiefs-te-181753012.html"},{"outlet":"Pro Football Talk","publisher":"NBC Sports","title":"Travis Kelce questionable to return with ankle injury","url":"https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/travis-kelce-questionable-to-return-with-ankle-injury"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Will Travis Kelce play today?
