Jason Kelce arrives to work on brother Travis' Chiefs-Texans playoff game for ESPN

Travis Kelce’s girlfriend isn’t the only loved one the Kansas City Chiefs star will have at Saturday’s playoffs game against the visiting Houston Texans. 

In his capacity as an NFL analyst for ESPN, Travis’ brother Jason Kelce has arrived at Arrowhead Stadium for the pivotal Divisional Round matchup. 

Dressed in a red-and-black lumberjack’s coat with a matching winter hat, the elder Kelce strolled into Arrowhead with a H๏τ cup of coffee and a briefcase.

Taylor Swift would arrive with her own security moments thereafter followed by Travis.

Relatively speaking, Jason and Taylor were quite late arrivals for the 4:30pm EST kickoff when compared to Chiefs fans, some of whom got to Arrowhead on Friday night.

There is some good news for the Chiefs heading into Saturday’s game.

Kansas City activated Jaylen Watson from injured reserve, solidifying a defensive backfield that has churned through fill-ins since the cornerback broke an ankle on October 20.

Watson, a seventh-round pick in the 2022 draft, earned the starting job opposite standout cornerback Trent McDuffie in training camp. The 26-year-old had been on an upward trajectory before breaking his ankle in a game against San Francisco.

The Chiefs initially thought it would be a season-ending injury, but the break healed quickly and Watson had been working in practice. That raised hopes around Kansas City that he could play against Houston on Saturday, and the Chiefs made the move official after Friday’s final walkthrough when they activated him to fill the final spot on their 53-man roster.

‘He’s worked tremendously hard to get himself to this point, first of all, and we’ll just see how that goes as far as the game reps and all that,’ Chiefs coach Andy Reid said. ‘He sure has worked hard to get himself even to this point right here.’

Joshua Williams had been the primary replacement for Watson, though his inconsistency had been a problem. Chris Roland-Wallace, Chamarri Conner and Nazeh Johnson also had been playing more with Watson out, though all figure to still have a role in Kansas City’s pᴀss defense that will be trying to shut down Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud on Saturday.

The Chiefs also activated linebacker Swayze Bozeman and safety Deon Bush from the practice squad with standard elevations, and they ruled out wide receiver Mecole Hardman, who remains on IR with a knee injury he sustained in November.

The Texans have never won a divisional-round playoff game in five tries. Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has never lost in six as he tries to lead Kansas City to an unprecedented third consecutive Super Bowl тιтle.
