Chiefs reveal Travis Kelce, Rashee Rice will play vs. Jets in Week 9

On Friday, November 6, the Kansas City Chiefs revealed that Tight end Travis Kelce and wide receiver Rashee Rice are expected to take the field to face the New York Jets at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday. Both Kelce and Rice were limited participants during the Chiefs' first practice session in Week 9 on Wednesday, but graduated to full participation on Thursday and Friday. Kelce is said to be dealing with an ankle injury, while Rice has issues with a hamstring and knee heading into Kansas City's AFC showdown against New York. Neither star pass-catcher was assigned an official game status designation for Week 9. At 5-2, the Chiefs have found themselves on a two-game losing streak as the 2026 NFL regular season crosses its halfway point, and the contributions of Kelce and Rice could prove crucial to helping Kansas City get back into the win column against the Jets this weekend.
