Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy aims for bounce-back season in 2026

Summary

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy is looking to rebound in the 2026 season after an injury-plagued 2025. Worthy, a 2024 first-round pick, faced shoulder issues last year, leading to a drop in performance with only 42 catches and one touchdown. Now healthy after surgery, he believes he can showcase his true potential. With the team missing the playoffs last season and a depleted receiver corps, Worthy’s improvement is critical for the Chiefs' playoff hopes.
