Kelce limped off the field in obvious pain, and was then spotted having that left ankle retaped by trainers. But the tape job must not have been enough, as Kelce then walked gingerly to the locker room for further evaluation, under the supervision of Kansas City trainers.
Here is a replay angle of the tackle on Kelce:
The Chiefs listed Kelce as questionable to return with an ankle injury.
