The Kansas City Chiefs were big winners earlier today in their Week 9 matchup against the New York Jets, with both their offense and defense dominant. The victory didn't end without legitimate concerns, as a key component of their wide receiver room limped off the field with an injury.
Chiefs head coach Andy Reid described wide receiver Xavier Worthy's injury as a hamstring tweak during his postgame press conference. He didn't have immediate details on the severity, but the former first-round pick was clearly in pain late in the fourth quarter after completing a catch.
Worthy finished the game with four catches for 48 yards, showcasing his value on various routes throughout the game. The former Texas Longhorns star notably missed time during offseason
camps in past years with a hamstring injury but bounced back. The Chiefs need playmakers at wide receiver this season, fueling speculation that they will be aggressive at the trade deadline this week.
The Chiefs are looking at a wide receiver depth chart that features Rashee Rice, Jalen Royals, Cyrus Allen, and Nikko Remigio if they are to be without Worthy for a significant period of time.
