Chiefs TE Kelce to be ready for camp after ankle surgery

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce underwent recent ankle surgery, but is expected to be healthy for the start of the season, NFL Network reported Saturday. Kelce's 103 receptions and 1,336 yards receiving were both 10th in the NFL this past season, while his 10 touchdown catches were tied for sixth best.

Kelce briefly held the NFL record for most receiving yards in a single season after picking up 62 yards during a Week 17 victory over the Oakland Raiders, but later that day his record was topped by George Kittle of the San Francisco 49ers. The ankle procedure was described as more of a "cleanup" that will force Kelce to miss at least some of the team's spring workouts. The six-year pro is expected to be at full strength by the start of training camp.

Kelce, 29, a former third-round draft pick by the Chiefs out of Cincinnati in 2013, has played in 80 career games (73 starts) for the Chiefs with 410 receptions for 5,236 yards and 32 touchdowns. --Field Level Media
