Travis Kelce could be set to suit up for his final NFL game on Sunday.The Kansas City Chiefs tight end, who has won the Super Bowl three times in his decorated 13-year career, has long been pondering retirement.Kelce could play his final NFL game in Week 18 against the RaidersGettyDespite 2025 being a lost season weeks ago, Kelce did not quit on his team, and is yet to announce any official decision.But at 36-years-old, his decline has been evident over the last few years, and having set a string of NFL and franchise records in Kansas City, he has nothing left to prove at the top level and will go down as one of the greatest TEs in history.The Week 18 finale against the Las Vegas Raiders at Allegiant Stadium could be Kelce’s game, and if it is, it will unfold without Patrick Mahomes watching on.Patrick Mahomes unlikely to travel for Chiefs visit to RaidersThe Chiefs quarterback, who formed an incredible relationship with Kelce both on and off the football field, suffered a season-ending ACL tear against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 15.He is now recovering from knee surgery, and was in a suite at Arrowhead Stadium to watch Kansas City’s Christmas Day game, which could well have been Kelce’s final one in front of a home crowd.But on Monday, head coach Andy Reid confirmed Mahomes is unlikely to travel to Las Vegas for the season finale.Asked by reporters if his quarterback will accompany the team on their trip, Reid replied: “Nah, probably not. Not this soon, no.”It means that if Sunday really is Kelce’s final NFL game, there will be no wholesome on-field moment with Mahomes.Sadly, Chiefs fans will have already seen the dynamic duo on an NFL field for the final time.The pair formed the most formidable quarterback-tight end partnership in recent memory, and have combined for a ridiculous 78 touchdowns across the regular season and playoffs since 2018.Kelce and Mahomes powered Kansas City to three Super bowl winsAFPtalkSPORT reacts... Travis Kelce's final game?This really does seem it for Travis Kelce.There’s no doubt that No. 87 will walk away as one of the greatest offensive players in NFL history — his three Super Bowl rings, and numerous records prove that. But the reason he came back in 2025, for what was expected to be one final ride, was to right the wrong of last season’s loss to the Eagles in New Orleans. That, of course, didn’t happen. The Chiefs have struggled in 2025, and the dynasty is crumbling. Truthfully, I can’t see any way he returns next season. The Chiefs need a serious rebuild, around the returning Patrick Mahomes, and Kelce simply doesn’t need to be a part of it. While Week 18 against the Raiders means little for KC this season, and while Kelce would have wanted to walk away in different circumstances, he cannot delay the inevitable any further. This is it. Oliver Browning, US Sports Writer.Kelce was by far the biggest weapon on KC’s offense for years, and the duo powered the Chiefs to five Super Bowl appearances — and they have walked away with three rings to date.But 2025 was not so fruitful, and the dynasty began to crumble amid their first losing season since 2012, the year before Kelce was drafted.The Chiefs have a 6-10 record heading into Week 18, Mahomes is out injured, and their legendary tight end will be playing for nothing in what is likely his final game.What is the latest on Patrick Mahomes’ injury recovery?While KC’s franchise quarterback won’t likely be on the sidelines in Sin City, he is making good progress through the early stages of his day-to-day rehab.“He’s around, so he’s in the building. Working and doing his rehab,” Coach Reid told reporters, sharing an update on Monday.“He’s spent a lot of hours doing it, he really attacks that and will continue to do that.Mahomes watched the Chiefs on Christmas Day, but won’t be in Vegas in Week 18Getty“He’s around and he sees the guys, but most of his time is spent rehabbing.”Mahomes, then, is on course to bounce back for the Chiefs next season. But he will perhaps have to do so without Kelce, who will no doubt confirm his retirement plans sooner rather than later.Stay up to date with the latest from the NFL across all platforms – follow our dedicated talkSPORT USA Facebook page and subscribe to our talkSPORT USA YouTube channel for all the news, exclusives, interviews and more.
