00:00 (upbeat music)
00:03 - Cap, the other question of availability tonight,
00:05 of course for the defending champs,
00:07 is on the offensive side of the football.
00:09 Travis Kelsey, injured at practice on Tuesday afternoon,
00:13 was listed as questionable overnight,
00:16 early in these morning hours.
00:18 It is reported that Kelsey will be a game time decision
00:21 tonight for KC ahead of the season opener.
00:25 Kaplan, do you believe Travis Kelsey
00:27 will play tonight for the Chiefs?
00:29 - I'm gonna put him in the doubtful category
00:30 and explain why guys.
00:31 I know this injury, really well covered injury
00:33 from an injury standpoint.
00:35 For over 20 years, I've seen players suffer
00:39 a knee hyperextension on a Wednesday practice
00:42 and play on Sunday and not be their best.
00:45 That's four days away.
00:46 This is two days away.
00:48 Yes, Kelsey's gonna push the play,
00:49 he's gonna work out for the club today.
00:51 The problem is guys,
00:54 it's the degree of swelling and stiffness.
00:56 The good thing is he's well enough
00:59 to be able to try to work out.
01:01 I put this again in the doubtful category.
01:03 The reason why I'm not gonna put him out
01:06 is because as I understand it,
01:08 the MRI showed no structural damage.
01:10 They knew when they gave him a stress test
01:13 that the ACL was intact.
01:14 That was not the problem.
01:15 The MRI confirmed that.
01:16 All the ligaments, MCL, PCL, LCL, everything's intact.
01:21 But with the hyperextension guys,
01:23 it's the stiffness and the swelling.
01:25 It's hard within 48 hours
01:28 to be able to play at your best.
01:30 I never say never is Travis Kelsey
01:31 'cause he's incredibly durable.
01:33 He's gonna be a Hall of Famer.
01:34 Noah Gray, by the way, who I've always liked.
01:36 He was a fifth run out of Duke.
01:38 He's a little bit undersized,
01:39 but don't let the YPC fool you guys.
01:44 He's a really good athlete.
01:46 If Kelsey doesn't play,
01:47 he would take over that receiving role.
01:48 Now he's not getting an eight to 10 targets most likely.
01:51 If Kelsey can't play,
01:52 I think he can get three to four catches,
01:54 but don't forget about Kedarys, Tony,
01:56 and my guy Sky Moore,
01:57 who's gonna have a breakout season
01:58 at receiver for the Chiefs.
