Travis Kelce has spent the offseason in an unknown place.
The All-Pro tight end was a spectator throughout the offseason program so far after undergoing surgery to clean up his ankle.
Kelce advised Arrowhead Pride’s Pete Sweeney on Wednesday night he’s on track to return for training camp in late July.

“I’m prepared to go,” Kelce said. “It is sort of been a little bit of an experience just not being able to actually go out there and prepare for the upcoming season quite yet. I really don’t know whether I have had an accident that hasn’t allowed me to get on the area, at least a little bit from the offseason, out of my knee operation my very first year.”
Considering that a knee injury wiped out all but one game during his rookie campaign in 2013, Kelce has not missed a tilt to medical reasons the past five decades. The veteran is ready to put the offseason behind him and get back to practicing with teammates.
“It has been a little frustrating,” he said. “I want to get out there and mesh with everybody and instruct, have fun and get better. But right now, just getting healthy is your main thing, and I think we are there. I think by the time training camp comes about, I’ll be 100 percent.”
Kelce’s health is vital for the Chiefs this year after K.C. watched his copy, Demetrius Harris, flaw to Cleveland, and with all the Tyreek Hill situation looming through the entire operation.
The 29-year-old said that while he is comfortable helping teach the younger men, he is tired of being sporadically through practices.
“I’m sick of everyone snickering in the background,” he laughed.” ‘Coach Travis! Coach Kelce!’ I am over that in this stage. I just need to get out there and play football.”
That’s the strategy.
