Travis Kelce shows off fresh cut at Chiefs training camp
The Kansas City Chiefs are currently taking part in training camp as they gear up for the 2025 NFL season. The Chiefs are looking to bounce back from their humiliation at the hands of the Philadelphia Eagles in last year's Super Bowl, which ended their bid for a historic three-peat.
The Chiefs have made some strides to help out their wide receiving core so far this offseason, but they still employ future Hall of Famer Travis Kelce, who showed some major signs of slowing down last season.
Recently, Kelce showed up at Chiefs training camp with a new haircut, and fans in the comment section on X, formerly Twitter, had thoughts.
'Smiling like they already know february's ending,' wrote one fan, hinting at another potential Super Bowl.
'I need 870 rec yards at least!' demanded another.
Another fan referenced Kelce's high profile relationship with singer Taylor Swift.
'He finally looks like an NFL player for the first time since he started dating Taylor Swift.' they wrote.
How much does Travis Kelce have left?
As previously mentioned, the Travis Kelce of the last couple of seasons is not the same player who torched opposing defenses during the beginning of the Chiefs' dynastic years in the late 2010s and early 2020s.
While Kelce has had moments of being able to step up when the Chiefs absolutely need him to (particularly during their 2024 Super Bowl run), most of the headlines surrounding the future Hall of Famer have been more about his relationship with Swift rather than his play on the field.
This being the case, the Chiefs will be looking for wide receiving help elsewhere, including from rising second year player Xavier Worthy, who had an impressive rookie season with Kansas City.
Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice recently was sentenced to 30 days in jail for his role in a hit and run, and it's highly likely that he will be suspended upon his return to Kansas City, meaning it's unclear at this point how much he will be on the field next season.
In any case, the Chiefs will kick off their 2025 season in Brazil against the divisional rival Los Angeles Chargers on September 5.

Dolphins backup OL Andrew Meyer out "weeks" with an injury
The Dolphins have lost backup interior offensive lineman Andrew Meyer for "weeks" with an injury, coach Mike McDaniel said Wednesday. 'He's had a great camp, really stepped his game, and I'm very impressed with his play,' McDaniel said, via Dante Collinelli of 'He will be out weeks, but he's built a strong foundation as one of the top performers if you want to talk about growth of game. One of the top guys from year one to year two that has made tremendous strides.' Meyer practiced with the first team at center until Aaron Brewer returned from a soft-tissue injury in his right leg. Meyer's injury is undisclosed. He made the team as an undrafted rookie last year but he did not see any action. The Dolphins also are missing offensive linemen Austin Jackson and Liam Eichenberg. They have signed Daniel Brunskill and Germaine Ifedi in camp.

Packers QB Jordan Love wants to make more off-schedule plays in 2025
Healthy again, Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love wants to be a more creative playmaker on off-schedule plays in 2025. Love told Kevin Clark of ESPN that accuracy is a big emphasis coming out of the 2024 season, but he also wants to do more off-schedule playmaking now that his knee and groin injuries are healed. 'Create more plays, and make more off-schedule plays and use my legs more when things break down,' Love said. Love injured his knee in Week 1 and missed two games, and later injured his groin in late October. The two leg injuries limited his ability to break contain of the pocket and find plays outside of structure — a big part of his game as an athletic, big-play-hunting passer. 'I wasn't creating as many off schedule plays last season,' Love said. 'Obviously I was dealing with some injuries and different things like that, but I think that's a big part of my game that I got to get back into.' Love said he is 'pushing at practice' to emphasize creating the off-schedule plays. The reps during training camp are important to develop muscle memory and chemistry for himself and his receivers. At many practices this summer, Love has scrambled or found completions outside the pocket on extended plays. A quarterback who can make plays off schedule can help mitigate the impact of pressure and turn empty plays into positive ones. While Love was terrific at avoiding sacks last season, his mobility — and possibly his accuracy too — was affected by the injuries. The 2025 season is a fresh start, and Love wants to take a step forward. 'It's just taking that next step, continuing to keep growing myself and finding ways to get better and keep improving on things,' Love said. 'A big focus for me is just the consistency. Trying to be the best player I can be every play with my footwork and accuracy…just build the little things and keep stacking.'
