Second-year wide receiver Xavier Worthy suffered an injury on Kansas City\u2019s opening drive. It\u2019s a shoulder ailment, per the team, which initially saw him get ruled questionable to return. He was later downgraded to out during the second quarter.<\/p>\n

It was a very quick departure for a promising young player. Just three snaps into the action on offense, the Chiefs\u2019 third-and-6 pass fell incomplete. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes couldn\u2019t execute, which may have been at least partially due to Worthy\u2019s injury.<\/p>\n

The 2024 first-round pick collided with tight end Travis Kelce on what appeared to be a mesh concept. Worthy and the future Hall of Fame man didn\u2019t create enough distance between themselves, resulting in a rough sequence and his subsequent departure.<\/p>\n

By the time Kansas City took the field next, the in-game broadcast confirmed a shoulder injury. Worthy was said to be wincing in pain as he left the field. He went to the locker room for further evaluation shortly thereafter.<\/p>\n

As a rookie, Worthy played in each of the Chiefs\u2019 games. The former Texas standout hauled in 59 passes in year one, good for 638 yards and 6 touchdowns. He also toted the ball 20 times on the ground for 104 yards and another 3 scores. From Weeks 11-17, Worthy averaged 56 yards per game and emerged as a top target for Mahomes.<\/p>\n
