Most NFL fans chose a sarcastic response to this article, as they mostly understand the demands of an NFL season.
Kelce was needed at practice this week, especially since the Chiefs are in the middle of a two-game losing streak.
For a team that has won the division for seven straight years, they cannot afford to lose any more games, especially with the Denver Broncos a game behind them in the standings.
Kelce is the No. 1 option in this offense.
Any practice during the waning stages of the season is crucial, especially for someone of his caliber and impact on this team.
