NFL opener controversy: Kansas City Chiefs receiver, Xavier Worthy suffered a dislocated shoulder after a collision with teammate, Travis Kelce

On September 5, 2025, the Kansas City Chiefs faced the Los Angeles Chargers in their season opener in São Paolo, Brazil. The buzz around the much-anticipated match was all over social media, and NFL fans were thrilled for the tight affair. However, Chiefs fans went absolutely numbed after their star receiver, Xavier Worthy, collided with Travis Kelce in their team's opener. For the uninitiated, the collision between the Chiefs teammates was so strong that it left Worthy injured with a serious shoulder injury.

Xavier Worthy's injury occurred just three snaps into the game, and the wide receiver was sidelined for the entire match. It was an unpleasant sight to watch for Kansas City Chiefs fans. Although the collision was wholly unintentional and natural, Worthy's injury left their fans absolutely fuming.

As a result, Los Angeles Charges succeeded in beating the Chiefs by a score of 27-21 in Sao Paolo.
