Watch: Travis Kelce returns to practice, but not before giving Chiefs fans a heart attack

To the delight of Kansas City Chiefs fans, star tight end Travis Kelce returned to practice on Friday, but not before playing a heart attack-inducing prank on the faithful.

Running onto the practice field, Kelce suddenly stopped and grabbed his right knee, the same knee that kept him out of action in Week 1. However, Kelce was only kidding around and soon broke into a twerk.

Kelce missed the Chiefs' season-opening loss to the Detroit Lions last Thursday after hyperextending his knee during practice before the game. Without Kelce, the Chiefs offense struggled to find a rhythm, so his return is a welcome sign.

Before practice, Chiefs head coach Andy Reid revealed more good news, confirming that both Kelce and defensive tackle Chris Jones, fresh off his hold-out, will be available for Sunday's contest against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
