The Week 7 showdown between the Chiefs and 49ers—a rematch of SB LVIII—was supposed to be the headline act. But for Kansas City, it quickly turned into a red alert, with their receiver room in shambles. The last thing they needed? Xavier Worthy taking a brutal hit. And yep, it happened. Ouch.
Xavier is now sidelined, looking worse for wear after that huge collision with 49ers’ safety Malik Mustapha. Kansas City might be down to just three healthy wideouts. The hit was exactly the kind you worried about. Now, it’s Watson, Hardman, and Moore left to carry the load.
The hit by Malik Mustapha was the exact kind of hit you wondered if Xavier Worthy could consistently take at the NFL level.
He’s on the bench with the athletic training staff. Chiefs temporarily down to Watson, Hardman and Moore at receiver.
