Toney caught a ball from Patrick Mahomes and evaded a couple of defenders after the catch before he was laid out by George Karlaftis.
The receiver fell to the ground and a small fracas ensued as Toney threw the ball back at Karlaftis, while Mahomes jogged over to where the play ended and appeared to say something.
Kelce certainly escalated matters, though, as he bumped Karlaftis in the helmet before shoving the 23-year-old. Others stepped in to separate the pair before things got any messier.
A source previously PEOPLE how hard it was for Kelce to leave girlfriend Taylor Swift in Europe while he headed back Stateside.

Kelce, 34, spent much of the summer working while travelling around Europe to follow girlfriend Taylor Swift, also 34, and her Eras Tour with family and friends.
‘Travis’ last few concerts were bittersweet,’ the insider shared of Kelce’s trip to Germany.
‘They knew their time together like this was coming to an end and he made sure to spend every minute he could with Taylor.’
It’s not the first time that Kelce has been in a physical altercation at Chiefs training camp, as he punched teammate Jack Cochrane during a practice drill last year.
That episode also stemmed from a late hit, as Cochrane unsuccessfully tried to punch the ball loose after Kelce caught a touchdown.
He apologized later on X, writing,  ‘Gotta be a better teammate gotta be a better leader… plain and simple.

While their demanding schedules often force Swift and Kelce to be in different cities, the pair takes any opportunity they can to be with each other between concerts and games.
‘It’s definitely tough to be apart but they do everything they can to make it work and show up for each other,’ the source told PEOPLE.
‘They’re so in love and very, very happy together. All their friends and family can see it.’
Nonetheless, Kelce – who also spent his offseason shooting Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity and Ryan Murphy’s upcoming series Grotesquerie – is ‘back in football mode,’ says another insider.
‘His team and the Chiefs remain a top priority,’ the source added as they gear up for a threepeat.
