Kelce’s status for some games has been in question due to injuries. For instance, in a recent matchup there was concern over a hyperextended knee, though MRI results reportedly showed his ACL remained intact.
The team and his camp often treat such situations as “game-time decisions” — meaning they wait as long as possible to see how he feels, whether he can warm up, and whether he’s fit enough to play.
If the game tonight is similar to those past instances, he might still suit up — unless something worsened in practice or warmups.
Kelce has often said he’s a competitor through and through; when healthy, he’s expected to contribute even if not at 100%.
His presence as a veteran leader matters in more than just stats — he helps with team morale, passing-game chemistry, blocking schemes, and adjustments at the line.
If his health is compromised, the coaching staff may limit his usage (fewer snaps, more rest), or adjust routes to minimize stress.
Off the field (or just before kickoff), Kelce is known for bold, fashion-forward arrivals. In big games like the Super Bowl, he’s rocked ’70s-inspired looks, ornate suits, eye-catching accessories, and sunglasses.
His pre‑game outfit tonight may follow that pattern — both as personal expression and as a way to amp up the public’s excitement.
