Hollywood Brown, Jack Cochrane, Kristian Fulton, Jawaan Taylor, Drue Tranquill, and Jared Wiley are likely to feature in Brazil.

How did Travis Kelce perform last season?

Travis Kelce had a solid but unspectacular 2024 season by his typically high standards. The future Hall of Famer amassed a stat line of 97 receptions, 823 receiving yards, and a post-rookie-season career low of three touchdowns in 16 games.

Kelce still secured his tenth straight Pro Bowl nod, meaning that he's been named a Pro Bowler in every season since the 2015 campaign. The Cincinnati Bearcats product was instrumental in the Chiefs' run to Super Bowl LIX, where they lost to the Philadelphia Eagles.

Kelce and his teammates have their work cut out tonight against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Chargers are in their second season under head coach Jim Harbaugh, and remain one of their toughest opponents in the division. Both teams are aiming for a statement win tonight in Brazil.
