The Kansas City Chiefs will play their first preseason game on Sunday, August 13, and are embarking on their third week of training camp practices on Monday. Chris Jones’ holdout from workouts still looms large over their preparations, especially after Charles Omenihu’s six-game suspension was announced last week, but their work continues in earnest either way.

WATCH: ‘El Travador’ mic’d up at Chiefs practice

“El Travador” returned to #Chiefs training camp last week, providing plenty of hilarity during his mic’d up workout.

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce decided to shave his signature beard last week, opting to don a mustache, and has been going by “El Travador” ever since. He has been having the time of his life preparing for the 2023 season in St. Joseph with his teammates and, despite a few hiccups along the way, seems to be back to regular season form heading into the third week of camp.

The Chiefs decided to wire Kelce up for a recent practice session, and the results were, predictably, hilarious. The team posted a video of his exploits during his mic’s up workout to Twitter so fans could get a glimpse of the veteran tight end at work.

As one of the most senior players on Kansas City’s roster, Kelce hasn’t lost any of his youthful charm heading into his 11th year in the NFL. His signature wit and sense of humor have endeared him to fans for more than a decade, and with a championship defense on the line in 2023, Kelce can be expected to churn out another impressive season with Patrick Mahomes slinging him the football.
