Xavier Worthy was expected to bring speed and energy to the offense, especially with his deep-threat potential. Thus, his absence is a tough blow for the Chiefs.

During the Chiefs’ season opener against the LA Chargers in São Paulo, Brazil, Travis Kelce accidentally collided with Worthy. It caused a shoulder injury that forced Worthy out of the game. On the third play of the game, Kelce and Worthy were both running crossing routes. They ran into each other, and Worthy took the worst of it.

Later, it was confirmed that Worthy dislocated his shoulder.


Travis Kelce took full blame for Xavier Worthy's injury

On Wednesday's episode of "New Heights podcast," Travis Kelce spoke about Xavier Worthy's dislocated shoulder, saying:

I owe my guy big time, man. X knows it. I felt like s**t. I could barely even f***ing play the rest of that first half, but we geared it up once I found out that he was in better spirits than I imagined at halftime.”

He admitted he was not mentally locked in during that first drive and blamed himself for the miscommunication. Kelce said:

“I just gotta be better, man. I’m 13 years in the league. There’s no excuse for me running into my own guys like that.”

Coach Andy Reid confirmed Worthy is rehabbing and won’t need surgery, but there’s no clear timeline for his return.
