Kelce Takes Blame for Collision That Dislocated Xavier Worthy’s Shoulder as Chiefs Weigh Week 2 Availability

Coach Andy Reid says Worthy is rehabbing with no surgery or injured reserve planned, leaving his status for the Eagles game uncertain.

Overview

  • Worthy was injured on the Chiefs’ third offensive snap on a mesh concept when he and Kelce collided during the 27-21 loss to the Chargers in São Paulo.
  • Kelce said on his New Heights podcast that he ran his route incorrectly and called the mistake inexcusable, adding that he “owed” Worthy for the error.
  • Reid held Worthy and fellow receiver Jalen Royals out of midweek practice and described Worthy as progressing day-to-day.
  • The receiver group remains thin with Rashee Rice serving a multi-game suspension and Royals still dealing with a knee injury.
  • Marquise Brown, JuJu Smith-Schuster and Tyquan Thornton shouldered the passing workload after Worthy exited, but Kansas City’s offense sputtered early.
