Chiefs Owner Clark Hunt Confident Travis Kelce Can Still Play in 2026

Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt is confident Travis Kelce can still play and hopes the star tight end returns for the 2026 season, giving him ample time to make his retirement decision. Kelce, who turns 37 in October, had over 800 yards, five touchdowns, and 76 receptions in 2025 (his lowest mark since 2015). Kelce stated on Jan. 7 that he needs time to rest and will return if his body feels confident for another 18-21 week run.
