The Kansas City Chiefs, led by quarterback Patrick Mahomes, are ready to show the league that they’re still top dog. Being humbled by the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl 59 left a sour taste in their mouth this off-season.
However, one star pass catcher is having a tough start to the year.
Breaking: Patrick Mahomes Star Pass Catcher Suffers Major Head Injury (Report)
On Wednesday, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy was placed in the concussion protocol after hitting his head while making a catch during training camp:
Worthy is expected to be a big part of the Kansas City offense after a dynamic rookie season in which he took advantage of the long injury absences of Marquise Brown and Rashee Rice to put up some big numbers. He finished with 59 catches for 638 yards and six touchdowns, then had 19 catches for 287 yards and three more scores in three playoff games.
Brown also missed practice Wednesday after hurting his ankle the previous day. So did fellow wide receiver Skyy Moore, who is dealing with a hamstring injury that could make it more difficult for him to make the team.
The Chiefs breezed through a quick workout Wednesday before getting Thursday off. They return for three more days of practice before another day off Monday. Those breaks could give some of their injured players, including offensive lineman Jawaan Taylor (knee), an opportunity to recover ahead of their preseason opener on Aug. 9 in Chicago.
Here is a look at Worthy’s career stats:
