In the days before Super Bowl LIX, the Chiefs didn’t have an extensive injury report, but punter Matt Araiza was dealing with an illness. Turns out tight end Travis Kelce also was under the weather at some point before the game at the Superdome in New Orleans, although the team had never disclosed that.

Kansas City Chiefs' general manager Brett Veach stated that star tight end Travis Kelce was struggling with a significant illness before Super Bowl LIX, where the Chiefs suffered a 40-22 defeat against the Philadelphia Eagles.
