Xavier Worthy hurt on first drive as Chiefs open season flat

SAO PAULO -- Before the Kansas City Chiefs could get in rhythm on offense -- even before they could gain a first down -- a major part of their game plan was removed from the field.

Less than two minutes into their 27-21 season-opening loss to the Los Angeles Chargers on Friday, the Chiefs experienced their first significant injury when Xavier Worthy, their fastest receiver, suffered a right shoulder injury on the third snap of the season.

Worthy ran a crossing route to gain separation against the Chargers' man-to-man coverage.
