Hill didn't practice on Friday and was expected to be out. The Chiefs will also rest their stud TE, Kelce. Smith is active but isn't expected to play outside of an emergency.

Tight end Travis Kelce sat out the second half with a concussion. It’s too early to tell if Kelce will be able to play next Sunday when the Chiefs take on the Steelers at Arrowhead. Kelce has to pass a five step process before he can play again and on average, NFL players miss about one of two games after a concussion.

Kelce went up for a great catch in the second quarter but when he came down, Texan defender Marcus Gilchrist hit him helmet to helmet, causing Kelce’s neck to snap and then bounce against the turf. He was taken off the field and immediately began the NFL concussion protocol.

They took Kelce under the blue tent with the team doctor, and he appeared to be good enough to get back in the game, which he did for one play. At halftime, Kelce complained of being disoriented and memory loss, so the team doctor pulled him from the rest of the game, the story said.

Chiefs TE Travis Kelce had swelling on his knee. Reid thinks he'll be fine because it flares up every once in a while.

This doesn't sound like a major issue and it shouldn't deter owners from drafting Kelce in the 3rd or 4th round. After finishing #6 as a rookie and #8 as a sophomore (in PPR formats), Kelce was the top overall tight end in 2016, though he was #2 in per game average behind Rob Gronkowski. Although his usage isn't as consistent as we'd like, he's primed for another big year in Andy Reid's offense, especially with the release of Jeremy Maclin. In the five games that Maclin was either very limited or missed altogether, Kelce saw 9.0 targets per game en route to 14.9 PPG (PPR). That’s a 238-point pace, and only five tight ends have had better seasons in the last four years.
