The Kansas City Chiefs open the 2023 NFL season Thursday night against the Detroit Lions as they begin their title defense. 

They may be doing so without their four-time All-Pro tight end Travis Kelce after he suffered a hyperextended knee during Tuesday’s practice.

Kansas City listed Kelce as questionable on Wednesday while Chiefs chairman and CEO Clark said he would be a game-time decision.

"I’ve never seen Travis as energized as I have this offseason. He’s been really dialed in. He’s been really busy off the field. Had a lot of things going on. But he’s also very focused on football, very excited about the upcoming season," Hunt said Thursday on "Good Morning Football." 

"I know we had a little bit of a setback the other day with a minor knee injury. We hope that he will be able to go tonight. He will be a game-time decision. But he’s somebody who loves to compete, so I wouldn’t bet against him being on the field tonight."

Kelce’s brother, Jason Kelce, said Wednesday that Kelce was experiencing some swelling in his knee.
