Travis Kelce leaves Chiefs-Vikings game after non-contact slip on artificial turf, returns to score TD in 2nd half

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce left Sunday's 27-20 win over the Vikings after slipping on the artificial turf at Minnesota's U.S. Bank Stadium. He returned to play in the second half and looked just fine.

The slip took place in the final minutes of the first half with the Chiefs driving. He took a swing pass form Patrick Mahomes, then slipped as he turned upfield. He was able to stand up, then jogged off the field with a noticeable limp.

He attempted to walk off the apparent injury on the sideline then slammed his helmet to the turf in frustration.

He received attention from trainers on the sideline, then limped to the locker room in the final moments of the first half as the Chiefs offense remained on the field. Kansas City ended the drive with a field goal to tie the game at 13-13.

CBS' Tracy Wolfson reported that Kelce was scheduled to undergo X-Rays in the locker room. The Chiefs listed him as questionable to return at halftime. He returned to the sideline after halftime, but didn't play on Kansas City's drive to open the third quarter.

He eventually returned to the field midway through the third quarter and caught a touchdown pass from Mahomes that extended the Chiefs' lead to 27-13 and helped set up the victory.

He appears to be doing just fine.
