One fan believes this is the right time for the Chiefs to call in reinforcements.

"This sounds like clues for Tyreek hill to come back," one user posted.

The Chiefs are without the services of their star wide receiver Rashee Rice, who was suspended for the season's first six games. Patrick Mahomes and Co. are already 0-2 down this season and this injury puts them on the back foot.

Travis Kelce takes the blame for Xavier Worthy's injury

The Chiefs' TE shared his feelings about the incident on the "New Heights Podcast."

“I’ll take the most accountability myself," Kelce said. "I literally took one of my players out. That’s one of the most frustrating parts and it’s hard to get your juices back going knowing you just hurt a guy."

Kelce said he felt like s*** after the incident. He is confident that Worthy is going to take the league by storm when he's back. The 10-time Pro Bowler revealed that he could barely play the rest of the first half following the WR's injury.

The Chiefs have lost three games in a row, Super Bowl LIX, and two games this season. It's the longest Mahomes has gone without winning. Andy Reid is likely to turn to Marquise "Hollywood" Brown and JuJu Smith-Schuster to fill the wide receiver spot on Sunday.
