The Kansas City Chiefs are evaluating two players for injuries sustained in practice on Saturday.
Xavier Worthy is getting checked for a shoulder injury.
Rookie wideout Cyrus Allen was checked for a lower-body injury. There was worry after the injury was sustained following a collision with another teammate during a special teams drill. Allen was diagnosed with a bruised shin.
Worthy is heading into his third season since being a first-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Last year, he played in 14 games and came down with 42 receptions for 73 yards and 1 touchdown. With Kansas City not having much depth at wideout, Worthy was being counted on to take a step forward in 2025.
Allen was in college from 2022 to 2025, splitting time between Louisiana Tech, Texas A&M and Cincinnati.
Overall, throughout his career, he played in 44 games and had 2,221 yards with 22 touchdowns. Allen’s best season was his last at Cincinnati. He got a career-high 51 passes for 13 touchdowns, nine more scores than his next best season.
