Overview

• Xavier Worthy was ruled out in the second quarter with a right shoulder injury after an early collision with Travis Kelce on Kansas City’s third offensive play.
• Head coach Andy Reid said Worthy will undergo an MRI after the team returns, with no timetable announced for the receiver’s return.
• Rashee Rice is suspended for the first six games under the NFL’s personal conduct policy following his guilty plea tied to a 2024 high‑speed crash, and he is eligible to return Oct. 19 against the Raiders.
• With Worthy out and Rice unavailable, Patrick Mahomes leaned more on Travis Kelce, Marquise “Hollywood” Brown and JuJu Smith-Schuster, with Tyquan Thornton also factoring into targets.
• Rookie Jalen Royals did not play due to a knee issue, and some reporters floated veteran free-agent options as contingency plans, though the team has not announced any moves.
