"SAO PAULO -- The Kansas City Chiefs experienced their first significant injury on just the third snap of the season. Xavier Worthy, the Chiefs' fastest receiver, suffered a right shoulder injury while running a crossing route on the team's first third-down play. Instead of finishing his route, Worthy collided with tight end Travis Kelce, who was running a crossing route in the opposite direction."
"The play ended with quarterback Patrick Mahomes throwing an incompletion because Worthy, a second-year player, fell to the turf. A few minutes later, after the Chiefs punted the ball to the Chargers, Worthy walked back to the locker room with a towel over his bowed head. Before halftime, the Chiefs ruled Worthy out for the remainder of the game. The Chiefs entered Friday's season opener without Rashee Rice, their No. 1 receiver who is serving a six-game suspension for violating the NFL's personal conduct-policy."
