KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and defensive tackle Chris Jones will make their 2023 season debut in Jacksonville Sunday afternoon.
NFL Insider Adam Schefter shared on social media that Kelce is "good to go" to take on the Jaguars and is expected to wear a compression sleeve on his knee, as he had during practice for the past week.
Kelce's week off helped the Super Bowl champ get "his legs back," per Schefter's sources.

Jones is also set to take the field, which is no surprise after the Chiefs activated the All-Pro on Saturday. Jones agreed to a single-season deal with the Chiefs after holding out through the preseason and the team's home opener.
Schefter's sources say Jones is projected to play between 20-30 plays Sunday — "mainly pass downs and big plays."
