Chiefs’ Xavier Worthy Leaves Opener With Apparent Shoulder Injury After Collision With Travis Kelce

Kansas City listed the wideout as questionable as medical staff evaluated a shoulder issue during the Brazil game against the Chargers.

Overview

  • Worthy exited on the first drive after colliding with Travis Kelce, appeared in pain on the sideline, and was taken to the locker room for evaluation.
  • The team identified a shoulder injury and labeled his return questionable, with no official diagnosis or timetable announced.
  • TV and media reports noted the severity of his discomfort; analyst Chase Daniel said it appeared to be a dislocated right shoulder, a detail not confirmed by the team.
  • With Rashee Rice serving a six-game suspension, targets are expected to shift toward Kelce and Hollywood Brown, with added reliance on running backs Isiah Pacheco and Kareem Hunt.
  • Some outlets highlighted contingency chatter, including Josina Anderson’s suggestion that free agent Odell Beckham Jr. could be considered, which remains speculative.
