    WATCH: Kelce Mic'd Up Ahead of Chiefs Preseason Finale vs. Bears

    Ahead of their preseason finale against the Chicago Bears on Thursday night , the Kansas City Chiefs have given fans an inside look at practice from the perspective of star tight end Travis Kelce.

    The Chiefs' social media released a two-minute video of Kelce during a recent practice where he showed off his light-hearted personality while being mic'd up.

    As you might expect, the video starts with Kelce walking onto the practice field and saying his signature phrase, "alright now." He uses this phrase not only on his podcast, "New Heights," co-hosted with brother and Philadelphia Eagles legend Jason Kelce, but even says it repeatedly during practice.

    But while Kelce participated throughout the Chiefs' practice this week as they prepared for their final preseason game, he is not expected to see the field inside Arrowhead Stadium Thursday.

    “I’ll probably sit the starters, the way it looks right now,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said recently about whether fans can expect to see the likes of Patrick Mahomes and Co.

    This will mark the first time that the 34-year-old has at least played a snap in a preseason game this year. He and the Chiefs' starters played in their losses to the Jacksonville Jaguars and Detroit Lions. However, despite taking snaps, Kelce's preseason will end with him having just recorded two receptions for 15 yards.

    Now, he and the Chiefs' starters will begin turning their attention to their Week 1 matchup with the Baltimore Ravens, which will kick off the regular season on Thursday, September 5. However, Kelce's other teammates will look to capture their first and only preseason win versus the Bears.
