Andy Reid says Chiefs had to 'yank' Travis Kelce out of training camp practices
Reid said coaches had to pull the 36-year-old tight end from drills as his effort set the tone for Kansas City’s second-youngest NFL roster.
- On Thursday, the Kansas City Chiefs concluded their 2026 training camp with head coach Andy Reid praising 36-year-old tight end Travis Kelce for his relentless work ethic, noting coaches sometimes had to intervene to force him to take breaks.
- Entering his 14th season, Kelce serves as the oldest player on a Kansas City roster now second-youngest in the NFL. Reid pointed to the tight end's daily dedication as a critical example for younger teammates.
- Linebacker Nick Bolton noted Kelce practices despite not feeling 100% physically. "There's no excuses when you have the old guy out there running routes," Bolton said of Kelce, adding it has been fun watching him work.
- The camp reunited Kelce with offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy, who emphasized their deep bonds. "You develop these relationships and these bonds; you become members of each other's families," Bieniemy said.
- Kelce told reporters on August 12 that "intensity is infectious," emphasizing its importance for team culture. He believes such accountability was something Kansas City truly missed during previous seasons.
