That pain can inhibit the function of your muscles around your knee and impair the ability to protect the ligaments in the knee.
I just watched a video from Brian Sutterer MD on YouTube. I'm sure he knows 99% more than most of us know. He said he would be very surprised it Kelce played but would be optimistic long term for the season.

Did Sutterer examine Kelce, or at least get his hands on video of the incident?
If the training staff gives a green light and Kelce feels up to it, he can and will play.
