Chiefs' WR Injuries Mount as Worthy in Protocol

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy has been placed in the NFL's concussion protocol after hitting his head during a training camp practice, head coach Andy Reid confirmed. Worthy is coming off a breakout rookie season with 59 catches for 638 yards and six touchdowns and is expected to take on a bigger role in 2025. The Chiefs' wide receiver corps is dealing with additional injuries, as Marquise 'Hollywood' Brown (ankle) and Skyy Moore (hamstring) have also missed practice. Rashee Rice's potential suspension further emphasizes the need for Worthy to recover and remain available. Worthy's concussion is not currently expected to impact his status for the regular season opener on September 5, but his recovery will be closely monitored. The team has over a month to address these injuries before the season begins.
