The Kansas City Chiefs are navigating injury concerns following Saturday's training camp session. Rookie wide receiver Cyrus Allen and second-year wideout Xavier Worthy both exited practice with injuries. Allen, who has been a standout in the opening week, suffered a lower left leg injury during a special teams drill. A shin bruise was identified upon further testing, which serves as a positive result for the team.
Worthy sustained a shoulder injury during an 11-on-11 period while making a deep catch in traffic. He previously required surgery for a right shoulder injury early last season. His status remains a point of observation for the coaching staff as they prepare for the upcoming campaign.
Allen had recently secured a spot as the fourth receiver on the depth chart after demonstrating strong chemistry with quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Special teams coordinator Dave Toub maintains that all rookies remain active on special teams until they prove themselves as primary contributors on offense or defense. This approach is intended to assess performance across all game phases.
The Chiefs coaching staff continues to monitor both players as training camp proceeds. Team depth and the development of younger contributors are current focus areas for the organization.
