All-Pro tight end Travis Kelce is listed as questionable to play Thursday when the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs open the 2023 NFL season against the visiting Detroit Lions.

Kelce, who injured his knee during Tuesday's practice, has not missed a game to injury since his 2013 rookie season.

The 33-year-old caught a career-high 110 passes for 1,338 yards in 2022, his seventh straight season eclipsing 1,000 yards receiving. He also caught a career-best 12 touchdowns last season, giving him 69 in his career.

In Kansas City's march to the Super Bowl, Kelce caught 27 passes for 257 yards with four touchdowns in three playoff games. He had six receptions for 81 yards with a TD in the Super Bowl.

Should he be forced to sit out, that could spell trouble for Kansas City given his familiarity with quarterback Patrick Mahomes and the fact the Chiefs are introducing several new receivers this year.

Noah Gray, who is listed as Kelce's backup on the depth chart, had 28 catches for 299 yards with a TD for the Chiefs last season.
