US EditionChiefs Lose Speedy Receiver Xavier Worthy to Shoulder Injury on Opening Drive
Worthy suffered a grade 3 acromioclavicular joint sprain early in the game, sidelining him and further depleting the Chiefs' receiving corps amid key player absences.
- On Friday night in São Paulo, Xavier Worthy was ruled out for the remainder of Kansas City's season-opener against the Los Angeles Chargers after leaving early in the first quarter to head to the Chiefs locker room.
- On the third snap, Worthy collided with Travis Kelce on a drag route, taking the brunt of the contact to his right shoulder and prompting immediate sideline medical team attention.
- Worthy's 2024 numbers — 59 catches, 638 yards, six TDs — highlight the loss, as his 638 receiving yards trailed only Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
- With Rashee Rice suspended six games, the Chiefs lost another receiver as Patrick Mahomes must move the offense without Xavier Worthy, further thinning a group already missing rookie Jalen Royals.
- A Grade 3 AC joint sprain generally sidelines players for weeks, and former All-Pro Chad Johnson suggested Worthy has this injury; NFL Network's Tom Pelissero and local outlets expect updates soon.
