It appears the injury woes to offensive players are still following the Kansas City Chiefs. During Tuesday’s practice, both Xavier Worthy and Hollywood Brown were injured on separate plays.

Worthy was shaken up after leaping for a catch and was seen limping to the sideline. However, he returned to join his teammates with his helmet on.
The more concerning injury occurred with Brown, who had to be taken off the field in a cart. He was sitting in the front seat, though there is still major concern regarding the severity of the injury that he may have suffered.

Losing Brown for any period would be devastating, as the star receiver also missed the majority of the 2024 season. After the Chiefs signed Brown in free agency, he was slated to be the top offensive weapon for Patrick Mahomes.
Sadly, Brown suffered a sternoclavicular injury that was reported to keep him sidelined for the entire 2024 season. He would eventually return and participate in Weeks 16 and 17, along with the playoffs and Super Bowl.
After a shaky first year with the Chiefs, the hope would be that Brown could return to proper form in 2025. Now, he may have suffered a leg injury that could impact his 2025 season.
If Brown suffered another injury that would keep him out for a large portion of the 2025 season, the Chiefs might have no choice but to waive the wide receiver. This is just speculation, but the team does need to bring in playmakers who can stay healthy.
For now, the Chiefs will have to wait and see what the severity is regarding the injury that Brown sustained.
Despite the lack of offensive weapons, the Chiefs were still able to make it to the Super Bowl in 2024. However, losing Brown or any number of offensive playmakers in 2025 might not warrant the same success.
The good news is the Chiefs have Travis Kelce, Worthy, Isaiah Pacheco, and Kareem Hunt still on the team. There are plenty of playmakers for Mahomes to work with, should Brown be ruled out for an extended period.
