Kansas City Chiefs receiver Xavier Worthy exited after the third offensive play of Friday night's game against the Los Angeles Chargers and is questionable to return with a right shoulder injury.

Worthy was running an underneath pattern when he collided with teammate Travis Kelce. Worthy appeared to be in intense pain when walking to the sideline and again when he was led to the locker room in Sao Paulo, Brazil.


Worthy enjoyed a fine rookie campaign last season when he scored nine touchdowns -- six receiving, three rushing. He caught 59 passes for 638 yards.

The 22-year-old was expected to help soften the early-season loss of Rashee Rice, who is serving a six-game suspension for violation of the NFL's personal conduct policy. Rice was disciplined for his role in multiple car accidents on a Dallas freeway in 2024 and subsequently leaving the scene.
