As August 7 rolled around, the organisation found a fitting way to honour its iconic No. 87, while head coach Andy Reid offered an encouraging update on the veteran tight end's mindset and preparation ahead of the new campaign.Chiefs mark 8/7 with special Travis Kelce tributeThe Chiefs used social media to celebrate Kelce on August 7, a date that naturally matches his famous No. 87 jersey.The team shared a simple but meaningful message with fans:“Happy 8/7 to all who celebrate 🙂‍↕️.”The post quickly attracted thousands of reactions from supporters, many of whom used the occasion to celebrate one of the greatest players in franchise history. Several fans also referenced Kelce's recent marriage to Taylor Swift while congratulating him on entering another season in Kansas City.Kelce joined the celebrations himself by partnering with Six Flags for a fan giveaway.He wrote:“87 Season Passes. One epic giveaway. Let’s do this!!I’m teaming up with @SixFlags for their Biggest Sale of the Year & here’s how you can win a 2027 Six Flags season pass:-🎢 Follow @sixflags & me- ❤️ Like this post- 🏷️ Tag a friend who needs more thrills.”Meanwhile, New Heights, the podcast Kelce co-hosts with his brother Jason Kelce, also embraced the occasion by posting a compilation of the Chiefs star laughing during interviews, giving fans another light-hearted moment to celebrate.Andy Reid says Travis Kelce returned ready for another Chiefs seasonWhile fans continue counting down to Kansas City's preseason opener against the Los Angeles Rams, Kelce's on-field workload remains uncertain. Head coach Andy Reid has already indicated that quarterback Patrick Mahomes is unlikely to play as he continues recovering from last year's knee injury, making it possible that several veteran starters, including Kelce, could also receive limited action.Reid explained the team's approach by saying:“We’ve got new people in those other positions behind him that need some work, and so the more reps they get, the better.”Even if Kelce's preseason snaps are limited, Reid has been impressed by what he has already seen since the veteran reported to training camp.After an eventful offseason that included his wedding to Taylor Swift, questions naturally arose about whether the four-time All-Pro would return in football shape.According to Reid, those concerns quickly disappeared.“Well, he came back in good shape,” the Chiefs coach said.He continued by praising Kelce's energy and commitment.“And [he’s] just playing like crazy…focused in and ready to go. When you have somebody that’s been here 14 years who wants to be out there every snap, [who’s] gonna play and be aggressive and not be stopped — that’s contagious.”As Kelce enters what could be the final chapter of his remarkable NFL career, the excitement surrounding him extends beyond his production on the field. From the Chiefs' tribute to fans celebrating 8/7 across social media, the veteran remains one of the franchise's most recognisable faces.Whether he takes the field during the preseason or not, Kansas City appears confident that its star tight end is fully prepared for another run at bringing the Chiefs back into championship contention.
