Travis Kelce'S Candid Comment After Xavier Worthy'S Injury Stirs Attention
Travis Kelce’s Unfiltered Reaction to Worthy’s Injury
The Kansas City Chiefs kicked off their season with an unexpected setback. In a collision that sidelined receiver Xavier Worthy with a dislocated shoulder, the Chiefs found themselves scrambling for offensive options. The incident occurred when tight end Travis Kelce, who was meant to help create space for Worthy, mistakenly collided with him, leaving Worthy unable to continue.
Now, with Worthy's status uncertain for the Week 2 showdown against the Philadelphia Eagles, the Chiefs are tasked with revamping their strategy. Kelce, expressing his regret on the New Heights podcast, shared, “I owe my guy big time, man. X knows it. I felt like s**t. I could barely even (expletive) play the rest of that first half, but we geared it up once I found out that he was in better spirits than I imagined at halftime.”
Offense on High Alert Without Worthy
Worthy's absence from practice this week looms large, casting doubt on his participation against the Eagles. This means more pressure on the remaining offensive lineup to fill the void. Kelce, alongside players like Marquise Brown, Juju Smith-Schuster, and Noah Gray, will need to step up and support quarterback Patrick Mahomes in navigating the formidable Philadelphia defense.
The Chiefs managed to keep up in the second half against the Los Angeles Chargers, but facing the Eagles from the start will require a full-team effort. Despite the setback, Kelce remains hopeful for Worthy's quick recovery, though a return in Week 2 might be optimistic.
