Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is taking full accountability for a collision that injured Chargers wide receiver Xavier Worthy during their recent game in Brazil. Speaking on his 'New Heights' podcast, Kelce admitted he wasn't prepared on the first offensive drive, resulting in the unfortunate incident. He explained that he was supposed to be running a route that would have given Worthy more space, but instead, he ran into him, forcing Worthy out of the game. Kelce stated, "I’m 13 years in the league. There’s no excuse for me running into my own guys like that." Despite the early setback, Kelce still managed to catch a touchdown pass from Patrick Mahomes later in the game. Worthy's status for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles remains uncertain, as he is currently not practicing. Kelce's admission highlights the high level of self-awareness and responsibility within the NFL, particularly among veteran players. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the physical nature of the sport and the unpredictable consequences even minor miscalculations can have.
