This would be HUGE

He’ll play, this is mind games by the Chiefs, same with Mahomes ankle.

Seems like Andy Reid attempting to pull off some Belichick like injury report hijinx.

Are teams allowed to fake injury  reports?

100% he's playing.

There's no probable anymore on the injury report for a good few years now, so it's not fake if his back is even just a little sore. At this time of year everyone is a little sore somewhere, so good luck ever proving it's fake.

Fake? No.  Use it to impart some confusion in an opponent's head prior to a big game under the guise of "gamesmanship"?  Absolutely.

Like previously stated, New England did this for nearly 20 years during the Brady/Belichick run.

Whatever it is, imma call BS.

I fully believe Kelce would rather lose his whole back forever than miss this game.

Yea this is nothing... Kansas City is playing games and I guarentee you Zac Taylor and company are not falling for it.

The Bengals are preparing for this game like every KC player is 110% healthy.

KC trying to set up excuses for the ass whooping they're about to take. Zero chance this dude doesn't play.

Just wanted to reiterate that what JumboTron said was what I was implying.

It says he fully participated in practice, so that tells me Andy Reid is playing games like drawing an ink mustache on a napping player traveling to a game.

Exactly. Everyone is dinged up at this point, so you can pretty much list anyone.

I don't buy it at all, and I doubt the Bengals will change their plans based on this.

Kelse is a huge part of their offense and we will scheme accordingly.

Thank you for the clarification on "probable." I guess teams used to list 95% of their players as probable, so league got rid of that. So, if someone is not 100%, I guess they could be listed as questionable now. But Kelce is such a big name to list, while Mahomes is not listed, that it certainly looks like some gamesmanship on the part of Reid. I guess he's hoping Lou puts less attention on him because he's "hurt."

He was asked whether he wanted an IPA or a shot of bourbon and he was questionable.

Tom Brady was on the injury report every week every season he played in new England.

During the golf tournament on CBS they just stated that he went down on the field and to the locker room at the end of practice with a back issue.

He's playing, for pulling this stunt, our team should double team Kelce ALL GAME LONG.

even if we lose, let them beat us with their "others".

Kelce is wide open basically every play, his whole career. Something up with that lol
