From the episode

The minute that he injured his shoulder last year, I mean, the season was over, and they talked about it. The coaches have talked about how they just had to dramatically reduce his role in the offense.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalInjury

Worthy's shoulder injury last year forced role reduction and season-ending impact.

Xavier Worthy suffered a shoulder injury last year that ended his season and forced the Chiefs to dramatically reduce his role in the offense, preventing them from executing all intended plays with him. This injury history creates downside risk for the 2026 season.
