- Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy was arrested Friday in Texas on a felony domestic violence charge involving allegations of impeding a household member's breathing.
- The Williamson County District Attorney announced Saturday that the case was being declined due to contradictory witness testimonies and insufficient evidence, though the investigation remains ongoing.

- The Chiefs organization acknowledged the situation, stating they are gathering information, while the NFL has yet to comment on potential disciplinary actions under its Personal Conduct Policy.
