Chiefs' Travis Kelce Takes Responsibility for Xavier Worthy Shoulder Injury in Season Opener

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce took full responsibility for a collision that caused wide receiver Xavier Worthy to suffer a dislocated shoulder during the team's season opener loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Kelce explained on the New Heights podcast that he was supposed to run his route at depth for Worthy but misjudged the spacing, resulting in the costly injury. Worthy, a key offensive weapon and second-leading receiver for the Chiefs last season, was forced to leave the game and is now considered day-to-day. The injury compounded the Chiefs' challenges, especially with fellow wideout Rashee Rice suspended for six games, putting more pressure on Kelce and the team's veterans. Despite the frustrating start, Kelce emphasized the need for accountability and improvement to help the team rebound in future games. The Chiefs ultimately lost 27-21, snapping their seven-game winning streak against the Chargers.
