A shoulder injury forced Xavier Worthy to depart from Chiefs practice via a cart, according to NBC Sports. While this occurred alongside a lower-leg injury sustained by fellow wide receiver Cyrus Allen, the severity of the situation is not yet established.

Coverage by Bleacher Report confirms both players required cart transport, marking a significant development for the team's depth chart at wide receiver. Dave Toub has addressed the special-teams role of Cyrus Allen, though official updates regarding the recovery timeline for either athlete remain unstated in current dispatches.
