Rebilas-Imagn Images Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy is in concussion protocol, the team announced on Wednesday.
The move comes one day after Worthy banged his head while vying for a deep pass in practice.
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.
