The source points out that Travis — who, in case you forgot, is an NFL player — "remains committed to playing his best and doing his best on and off the field."

"The team practices are critical, mandatory to attend, and something he takes very seriously. So, it's no surprise he stayed in Kansas City ahead of this weekend's game."
