The Chiefs got one of their star players in wide receiver Tyreek Hill off the reserve/COVID-19 list today, and tight end Travis Kelce could be next. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Kelce is expected to take multiple COVID tests by tomorrow but the Chiefs expect to get an answer by Sunday morning as to whether Kelce can play against the Steelers.

Just in case they're cleared by tomorrow, the Chiefs activated Kelce, inside linebacker Nick Bolton and offensive lineman Lucas Niang.

Hill is the Chiefs’ No. 1 receiver and has caught a career-high 102 passes this year for 1,178 yards and nine touchdowns. Both Hill and Kelce were nominated to the Pro Bowl. Mike Tomlin praised Kelce during his weekly press conference on Tuesday.

"Travis Kelce is the best in the business," Tomlin said. "He is unquestionably the best in the business at run after. This guy, what he is is the No. 1 wide receiver."
