The Kansas City Chiefs have hinted that a number of key starters, including Travis Kelce, will miss Sunday’s game against the Denver Broncos.

The Chiefs secured the AFC’s No. 1 seed and a bye in the first round of the playoffs on Christmas Day thanks to their win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.

It means coach Andy Reid doesn’t need to risk any of his key players for their final game of the regular season against the Denver Broncos on Sunday.

Reid already revealed this week that Patrick Mahomes will not play, with backup Carson Wentz to be the starting quarterback in Denver.

However, an injury report released by the Chiefs on Friday suggests a number of other big names will also get the week off. 

Mahomes, Kelce, Chris Jones, Trent McDuffie, Nick Bolton, Kareem Hunt, George Karlaftis, Justin Reid and Drue Tranquill are all listed as doubtful for Sunday’s game.

Meanwhile Isiah Pacheco, Jawaan Taylor, Mecole Hardman, and Jaylen Watson are out.
