Travis Kelce cleared to play against Seahawks as Henley avoids punishment
Summary

Travis Kelce received a positive injury update ahead of the Kansas City Chiefs’ game against the Seattle Seahawks. Kelce, who suffered an ankle injury after a controversial tackle by Los Angeles Chargers linebacker Daiyan Henley, was listed as a limited participant earlier in the week but has no injury designation for the matchup. Despite concerns over the tackle's legitimacy, the NFL did not impose any punishment on Henley, a decision that may upset Chiefs supporters. The Chiefs aim for a sixth consecutive win, which would maintain their top position in the AFC standings.
