Just before halftime Sunday, Kansas City Chiefs tight end, 34, slid on the field at Minneapolis' U.S. Bank Stadium and turned his ankle at an awkward angle as his team faced the Minnesota Vikings. Kelce then limped off the field, slamming his helmet to the ground in anger.
After trying to stretch it out for a few moments, Kelce went to the locker room for x-rays during halftime.
He ran back on the field for the second half with his ankle taped up, and spent the Chiefs' next drive (which ended in a touchdown) running up and down the sidelines, checking on his ankle before returning later in the quarter.
And with 2:45 left in the third, Kelce showed he could play through the pain as he caught a pass just outside the end zone and brought it in for a touchdown.
Kelce dealt with other injury issues earlier in the season, and wasforced to sit out Week 1after hyperextending his knee and developing a bone bruise during the Chiefs' last practice before the start of the season. He made his season debut in Week 2 and has played each week since.
The last three weeks of the season have been newsy for the two-time Super Bowl champ — prior to the possible injury, Kelce has been the talk of the NFL amid his rumored romance with pop superstarTaylor Swift.
