Recently, on ‘New Height’s Podcast’ Kelce talked about his injury with his brother Jason Kelce. The conversation sprung out from them talking about the defensive tackle, Chris Jones’ contract. From there Jason asked his brother if he had an update on his injury, to which the tight end had a positive reply.

Travis said that he has been feeling a lot better than he did in week 1. He said, “Things are looking up, I feel a lot better than I did last week, felt like an absolute a**h**e not being able to play that first game.” On being questioned why he felt like that he jokingly added that as previously he had made fun of Kevin Hart and Jason’s wife Kylie, it was karma from the show.

The player continued the joke and said that they were too old to do the things that they were doing. Furthermore, the 8x Pro Bowl hasn’t revealed anything about his relationship with the 12x Grammy award winner, Taylor Swift. Previously, the player did talk about his failed attempt at trying to share his number with the pop star. As for the game, we might or might not see him on-field in the second week.
