Now I think there may be some distinction between an injury that is prone to aggravation (the hammy) and what may potentially just be pain management for Kelce.
But Reid's MO with guys coming back from injury has always been fairly cautious. Hell, he kept Chris Jones out of a playoff game.
If you miss a practice, you probably aren't playing. We'll see if that holds for Kelce.

Missing "A" practice has never been a disqualifier to play. Missing most of the week practices yes.
And the thought process that it takes another week to get healthy means the player isn't ready to go. And as you stated risking further injury because a player isn't fully healthy isn't the same as sitting a player who isn't at risk of further injury.
Reid didn't hold Jones out, the training staff did. A calf injury is exactly the kind of thing you don't push. ( I couldn't remember why Jones was out and had to look it up)
If Kelce says he feels good to go in warm-ups, Reid will have hard time telling him no. Its not his style. The idea they are even waiting that long and letting him go through warmups is telling.
I say all this believing whether he thinks he can go or not he should sit tonight.
