Travis Kelce, recently found humor in his ankle injury during a game against the Minnesota Vikings by joking that he felt like a 'grandpa.'

Kelce, known for his exceptional performance in the NFL, sustained the injury when he slid on the turf while running with the ball.

He briefly left the game for X-rays but returned for the second half with his ankle heavily taped and even managed to score a touchdown.

During a podcast episode of New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce, the player candidly shared his thoughts on the injury, saying, "I'm just out here being old as f--- and just offing myself."

He playfully lamented his tendency to get injured and noted that it made him feel like a 'grandpa.'

Kelce further described the injury as a roll, similar to a basketball player rolling their ankle while coming down after a rebound.

He emphasized the importance of maintaining a strong base and proper footwork in his sport.

His brother, Jason Kelce, who joined him in the podcast, expressed his strong disapproval of playing on turf and called for its elimination from the sport.

Despite the injury and his humor, Travis Kelce displayed resilience and determination, emphasizing the need to adapt to the physical demands of professional football as he gets older.

In addition to the ankle injury, he addressed the challenges posed by playing on turf and the toll it can take on athletes.
