Travis Kelce has arrived for Thursday Night Football - with new love interest Taylor Swift expected to be in attendance yet again.

Kelce has been battling an ankle injury which he picked up last weekend vs. the Vikings.

But he's set to play vs. the Broncos, with Swift watching him for a third time in four games. 

Exclusive footage from DailyMail.com shows Kelce walking into Arrowhead Stadium with a red sweatsuit, a plain white T-shirt and sunglasses.

Earlier in the day, Kelce was also seen leaving his home with one of his Chiefs jerseys in his hand while his mom Donna was spotted at a nearby hotel ahead of watching her son play against Denver.

Swift has previously watched Kelce vs. the Bears and at the Jets, with those broadcasts centering heavily around the pop megastar's attendance.

However, Prime's Al Michaels has insisted that Thursday Night Football will focus more on football.

'What we're gonna do tonight, everything in moderation,'  the play-by-play man told Sports Illustrated ahead of the game.

'Our crew talked about it this morning. You can't make a sideshow the show. The vast majority of the audience are tuning in to watch a football game.

'There are people, I don't know how many, it could be a sizable number, but it's certainly not a majority, that if you trained the camera on her all night long, they'd be satisfied with that. This is not what we're doing to do.'

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were spotted for the first time together last month in Kansas City

Swift and Kelce were first spotted together after the Chiefs' win vs. the Bears on September 24.

She was then seen in New Jersey the following weekend with a gaggle of celebrities - including Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively - to watch the Chiefs beat the Jets.

Last Friday, Kelce said his romance with Swift has left him feeling happier than when he won the Super Bowl earlier this year.

'As all the attention comes, it feels like, you know - I was on top of the world after the Super Bowl and right now even more on top of the world now,' he said.

'You have got a lot of people that care about Taylor, for good reason. Got to keep living and learning and enjoying the moments.'
