Travis Kelce says Rashee Rice's injury felt like a 'huge dagger' after seeing him go down

Emmanuel Acho, LeSean McCoy, James Jones and Chase Daniel discuss whether Patrick Mahomes can overcome key injuries to the Kansas City Chiefs' weapons, including Rashee Rice, who is feared to have a torn ACL.

The Kansas City Chiefs improved to 4-0 in their victory over the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday but suffered a potentially major blow to their offense.

During the first quarter, Chargers defensive back Kristian Fulton intercepted Patrick Mahomes. During the return, Mahomes tried to make a tackle on Fulton, lowering his shoulder and diving at Fulton, but completely missed.

Mahomes instead hit teammate Rashee Rice in the knee. Rice was able to walk off the field gingerly, but was carted off once he got to the sideline and did not return for the remainder of the game.

Travis Kelce reacted to Rice’s injury during a recent episode of "New Heights."

"On the offensive side of the ball, man, we got to rolling, and it’s not going to be any easier seeing Rashee go down during the game. I just love the way that guy was playing the game of football, how he was attacking every single day in practice," Kelce said.

"You know sometimes you just root so hard for the guys that do it the right way and Rashee had been doing that, man, and there was a huge dagger to me when I saw him go down," Kelce continued.
