Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy is in concussion protocol and injuries are piling up at the position for Kansas City.

Worthy banged his head on the ground in Tuesday’s training camp practice. He was competing for a deep pass and landed hard on the turf.

In addition to Worthy, the Chiefs were on the field Wednesday without Skyy Moore (hamstring) and Hollywood Brown (ankle) due to injuries.

 

Kansas City signed Kwamie Lassiter II to bolster the depth chart. Lassiter most recently played in the UFL with the Memphis Showboats. Undrafted out of Kansas, Lassiter II spent time with the Bengals during the 2022 and 2023 seasons. His dad played safety in the NFL and had 25 career interceptions in 129 total games with the Arizona Cardinals (1995-2002), Chargers (2003) and Rams (2004).

Worthy will have to clear the protocol before returning to training camp. The Chiefs open the preseason at Arizona on Aug. 9 and kick off the regular season against the visiting Los Angeles Chargers on Sept. 5.

Worthy, 22, had 59 catches for 638 yards and six touchdowns and also rushed for three TDs in 17 games (13 starts) last season after being selected with the 28th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.

The rookie added three touchdown receptions in the playoffs, including two in the second half of the Chiefs’ 40-22 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans.
