KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy was being evaluated for a concussion after getting banged in the head while trying to make a catch late in the first quarter of their AFC West matchup with the Chargers on Sunday.
It’s the second time this season Worthy has been hurt early in a game against Los Angeles. He also hurt his shoulder when he collided with Travis Kelce in the season-opener in Brazil, causing him to miss the next three games.
The Chiefs already were without wide receiver Marquise Brown, who was inactive due to a personal matter, and three starters and a backup on the offensive line. Left tackle Josh Simmons is on injured reserve following wrist surgery, Wanya Morris has a knee injury, right guard Trey Smith has a knee issue and right tackle Jawaan Taylor is still slowed by a triceps injury.
Backup right tackle Jaylon Moore hurt his leg on the second play against Los Angeles, but returned later in the drive.
Also inactive for the Chiefs was their top cornerback, Trent McDuffie, who had been questionable with a knee injury. Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnson also was inactive after having been questionable with a groin injury.
