When Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid had his usual session with local reporters on Monday, the biggest question on their minds was the injury to wide receiver Xavier Worthy, who had been reported to have suffered a dislocated shoulder in a collision with tight end Travis Kelce on the third offensive play of Friday’s 27-21 Week 1 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.
So Reid addressed it in his opening statement.
“I know Xavier is the big question,” volunteered the head coach. “He’s rehabbing and working his shoulder. We’ll just see where it goes, day-by-day, here. We’ll see...
Kansas City Chiefs: Cornerback
The Chiefs signed Kristian Fulton, which allowed Trent McDuffie to move back to the slot. Jaylen Watson is the other projected starter. A lot could go wrong with that plan. It would not be a surprise if McDuffie moves back outside before season’s end.
Kansas City has added some competition along its offensive line by signing Jaylon Moore and drafting Josh Simmons after trading away Joe Thuney....
On Sunday, September 14th, the Kansas City Chiefs will play the Philadelphia Eagles at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium in a rematch of Super Bowl LIX, in which the Eagles dominated the Chiefs 40-22.
According to FanDuel Sportsbook, Kansas City has opened as a 1.5-point underdog in the game.
In Week 1, the Chiefs opened as three-point favorites against the Los Angeles Chargers, but lost the game 27-21. The Eagles are coming off a 24-21 win over the Dallas Cowboys in the league’s opening game.
The Chiefs are not accustomed to starting their season with a loss. Friday’s was only...
For the NFL’s Week 1, there’s a full slate of Sunday action:
We have the first postgame report about the injury suffered by wide receiver Xavier Worthy when he collided with tight end Travis Kelce on the third offensive play of Friday night’s season opener between the Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Chargers.
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the injury is a dislocated shoulder — and it is possible that Worthy could return to play in a brace.
Rapaport, however, had a caveat: tests are still ongoing. So this is probably not the final word on Worthy’s situation.
You’ll recall that when wide receiver Hollywood Brown sustained a shoulder injury...
Already short on wide receivers as they opened the season against the Los Angeles Chargers in Brazil, the Kansas City Chiefs lost Xavier Worthy to a shoulder injury on the game’s third offensive play. Then they lost the Chargers’ receivers in coverage. Then they lost containment against Justin Herbert to seal their 27-21 loss.
What a way to start a season, huh?
It could have been worse — and without quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ hero-ball performance, it likely would have been.
It’s a long flight to Brazil. With emotions high after such a frustrating outcome, the flight home must have been...
Well, that wasn’t a very fun way to start the season.
During Friday night’s early going, the Kansas City Chiefs looked jet-lagged and sluggish against a rejuvenated, hungry Los Angeles Chargers team that at last looks prepared to give the Chiefs a run for their money in the race for the AFC West crown. Playing on an international stage, the Chiefs had an opportunity to make this a statement game. But instead, they left São Paulo with more questions than answers after losing their season opener 27-21.
Here are five other things we learned in the Week 1 loss.

Patrick Mahomes Completes Pass While Totally Airborne in Latest Incredible Highlight | SI
On a third-down play to start the fourth quarter in the Chiefs’ season opener in Brazil against the Chargers, the three-time Super Bowl MVP created his latest highlight in a career already filled with them.
As Mahomes saw some pressure from the Chargers’ defense, he scrambled toward the line of scrimmage but couldn’t run for the first down with a sea of blue headed his way. He was tripped up, but before he hit the ground he flipped the ball...
The Kansas City Chiefs’ highly anticipated season opener in São Paulo, Brazil, ended in disappointment as the Los Angeles Chargers handed them a 27-21 loss on Friday night.
Despite showing signs of life in the second half, the Chiefs couldn’t overcome their sluggish start. Missed throws, sloppy execution and a lack of urgency put them in an early hole, forcing the team to play catch-up for the rest of the night.
“We can learn from this as we move forward,” head coach Andy Reid told reporters after the final gun. “I’ve got to make sure I get my team in...
As the Kansas City Chiefs come to terms with an opening night 27-21 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers in Brazil, they will likely be haunted by questions of what might have been.
Just before the two-minute warning, Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert had just taken a sack and faced a third-and-14 from his own 33-yard line. Defensive tackle Chris Jones lined up outside and appeared to have a play, only to see Herbert correctly guess Jones’ inside turn. Herbert would run outside for an easy first-down conversion, allowing the Chargers to spend the final two minutes icing the game.

The Kansas City Chiefs opened their 2025 season 0-1 after a 27-21 defeat at the hands of the Los Angeles Chargers in an International Series game in Brazil.
It started when tight end Travis Kelce ran into wide receiver Xavier Worthy’s shoulder as they attempted underneath crossing routes on Kansas City’s third offensive play. Worthy was knocked out of the game with a shoulder injury, making the wide receiver corps even more shorthanded.
But it didn’t stop there. Wide receiver Hollywood Brown dropped passes. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes badly overthrew open wideouts on...
The Kansas City Chiefs started the 2025 season on the wrong foot, dropping a 27-21 decision to the Los Angeles Chargers in an International Series game in São Paulo, Brazil, starting the season 0-1 for the second time in three seasons.
The Chargers won the coin toss and deferred, putting Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs offense on the field to start the game. Wide receiver Tyquan Thornton took the ball near the Chiefs’ five-yard line and returned the ball near midfield. Unfortunately, a holding penalty would see the Chiefs starting the international contest at the 25.
