'I've been lucky to be here' — Travis Kelce embraces role as a veteran leader with avowal of love for the Kansas City Chiefs
'I've been lucky to be here' — Travis Kelce embraces role as a veteran leader with avowal of love for the Kansas City Chiefs originally appeared on A to Z Sports. While everyone loves to hear about Travis Kelce's love story with Taylor Swift, there's one other that the Kansas City Chiefs tight end speaks so highly of. And that happens to be the place he has called home for 13 seasons. 'I've been lucky to be here," Kelce told reporters at training camp on Wednesday. "What is this my 13th year now? I just absolutely love this organization. I love the team. I love all the coaches. I know just about every defensive coach as well as I know all of the offensive coaches and vice versa with the players and the staff in the equipment room. "I just, I have fun coming in to work every single day," he added. "And what better way to get better than to make sure we lean on each other? And if I can give somebody a word that makes them better on that specific route or doing that specific drill, man I'm here for it.' Kelce has helped Kansas City become one of the most dominant franchises in NFL history, with many saying they are the next Dynasty. And part of that is the team's work ethic, which starts with him as a veteran presence in the locker room. 'I think that gives me more juice than, than you know, than anything else is the fact that we have created this culture, we have created this machine that when you do it the right way, it works, and you get to win football games because of it," he explained. "I think that alone kind of gives you the excitement that what we're doing here is special.'This story was originally reported by A to Z Sports on Aug 7, 2025, where it first appeared.

Anthony Richardson dislocated his right pinkie
Anthony Richardson has yet another injury. The Colts quarterback, who missed 17 games with injuries in his first two seasons, hurt the pinkie finger on his throwing hand in Thursday's preseason opener against the Ravens. Coach Steve Steichen updated the injury after halftime, telling team reporter Larra Overton that Richardson dislocated his finger. "I don't know the extent of it," Steichen told Overton. "It was just a dislocation. Popped it and popped back in. I don't know how long he'll be out." Richardson was scheduled to play a quarter and a half before giving way to Daniel Jones, but on the team's second possession, Ravens edge rusher David Ojabo was unblocked and leveled Richardson. He went 2-for-3 for 21 yards in his limited time on the field.
