Though Travis Kelce was back on the practice field in a limited capacity on Tuesday after suffering a non-contact leg injury during the Kansas City Chiefs' victory over the Vikings, he and his brother, Jason Kelce, are thoroughly opposed to turf fields in the wake of the incident.On the latest episode of their New Heights podcast, the Kelce brothers expressed concern over the safety of turf fields, rejecting the idea that the controversial slit-film turfs are any worse than other options.
