Travis Kelce just turned 37 years old but the Kansas City Chiefs' superstar tight end has shown he's still got plenty left in the tank.
Entering Week 6, Kelce had recorded 16 catches for 246 yards and two touchdowns and is still the top-shelf tight end he has been for years now.
However, Kelce is off to a slow start in the Week 6 game against the Los Angeles Chargers.
Is Travis Kelce playing today?
Yes, Kelce is active, but we can't say he's healthy, as he hurt his ankle on a play and was seen getting it wrapped before getting back into the game.

Kelce didn't have a catch before then, so that hasn't been the only reason he still hasn't produced anything.
Patrick Mahomes just hasn't been throwing to him through a quarter plus. Hopefully that changes soon.
