Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce detailed the \u201cfrustrating\u201d play in which he collided with Xavier Worthy and sent the wide receiver to the sideline for the majority of the Chiefs\u2019 loss to the Chargers on Wednesday\u2019s episode of the \u201cNew Heights\u201d podcast.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m supposed to be running my route at depth for Worthy,\u201d Kelce said. \u201cI was trying to kind of set up my guy to be able to get into position, and it all just happened pretty quick. I just got to be better, man. I\u2019m 13 years in the league, there\u2019s no excuse for me running into my own guys like that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kelce said Worthy \u201chad his guy beat\u201d and if the collision hadn\u2019t happened, \u201cthe game starts completely different.\u201d Worthy was ruled out<\/a> with a right shoulder injury shortly after the play. The Chiefs never led the Chargers in the 27-21 defeat<\/a> in Brazil on Friday.<\/p>\n \u201c(Worthy\u2019s) one of our best players, he\u2019s going to take that step to be one of the best receivers in the National Football League, and I run into him and all of a sudden one of the biggest pieces of the game plan is out of the game,\u201d Kelce said. \u201cOne of the fastest guys in the league \u2014 speed kills in this league \u2014 now they (the Chargers) don\u2019t have to worry about that.\u201d<\/p>\n On Wednesday, head coach Andy Reid said neither surgery nor injured reserve \u2014 which would keep Worthy out for at least four weeks \u2014 is being considered. Reid said Worthy would not participate in practice on Wednesday and his status is day to day.<\/p>\n \u201cThose two won\u2019t practice today,\u201d Reid said Wednesday, referring to Worthy and rookie wide receiver Jalen Royals. \u201cBoth are doing better. They\u2019re working on it and making progress, but not ready to go today for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n Earlier this week, Reid said, \u201cAs far as injuries go, I know Xavier\u2019s (Worthy) the big question, and he\u2019s rehabbing and working his shoulder. We\u2019ll just see where it goes.\u201d<\/p>\n
