Travis Kelce is questionable for the Kansas City Chiefs' upcoming "Thursday Night Football" matchup with the Denver Broncos, according to Wednesday's injury report.
Kelce rolled his ankle and went down after a non-contact slip on turf during the Chiefs' win over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. He was able to come back and score a touchdown in the second half.
The tight end isn't the only star player to sustain a non-contact injury on artificial grass this season. New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers sustained a season-ending left Achilles tear at MetLife Stadium during his first drive ever with the team.
More recently, Minnesota Vikings star wideout Justin Jefferson was placed on injured reserve Wednesday after slipping on U.S. Bank Stadium's slit-film turf. Jefferson's hamstring injury occurred during the same matchup that saw Kelce's exit and return.
His older brother, Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, passionately called for the NFL to return to grass on a podcast episode released hours before the Chiefs injury report.
While the Vikings play in one of just three stadiums still using slit-film turf, Jason Kelce emphasized that all kinds of turf should be eradicated.
As the Chiefs await the verdict on Kelce's availability, the team anticipates an important return on defense.
Nick Bolton has no designation on the report. He has been cleared to return and is expected to take the field against the Broncos, according to ESPN's Adam Teicher. This will be Bolton's first game since the team's 17-9 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sept. 17. He missed the last three games with an ankle injury.
Defensive end George Karlaftis and punter Tommy Townsend are also questionable for the Chiefs.
Meanwhile, the Broncos could see the return of tight end Greg Dulcich. He is listed as questionable on the team's injury report, which also says he was a full practice participant Wednesday after being limited Tuesday.
Dulcich snagged two catches in Week 1 before sustaining an injury against the Raiders. To play, he would need to be activated to the team's 53-man roster.
Denver ruled out two players, outside linebacker Frank Clark (illness) and defensive tackle D.J. Jones (knee).

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
