Travis Kelce was sick with a “pretty big illness” before losing this year’s Super Bowl, according to the general manager of the Kansas City Chiefs, Brett Veach.
He also hit back at the ongoing speculation about Kelce retiring, saying the Chiefs is expecting to see the tight end on the field in the upcoming NFL season.
Veach also addressed the nature of the Chiefs’ Super Bowl loss, saying the game was a “bad day to have a bad day.”.
Veach also has no doubt that Kelce could handle the rigours of another season, saying the 35-year-old “finds a way to stay in shape and produce at a level that only he can,” and that he has “accomplished everything that there is in this game.”.
Veach later praised Kelce for how he helps his teammates, including Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
