"Dude is always hurt." "He’s always injured. We need bigger receivers man." "Who cares !!!! He’s WEAK AF. Not a player they need to invest anymore time and effort into going forward. Offense has no use for players like him when the coaches don’t even know wtf they are doing themselves. Relying on him to be developed by Embree, Pinkston and Nagy is a joke." "Mahomes and Chiefs passing game have absolutely disappeared again." "Most fragile WR this team has drafted."

Earlier this year, Worthy hurt his shoulder against the same team when the Chiefs faced the Chargers in Brazil. The Chiefs wide receiver collided with teammate Travis Kelce and missed two games due to the injury.

Chiefs wide receiver returned against Chargers after clearing concussion protocol

The Chiefs entered Sunday's matchup without wide receiver Marquise Brown, who was unavailable due to personal reasons. Worthy was taken to the locker room and was placed in the concussion protocol.

However, Chiefs fans were relieved after Worthy cleared the protocol and returned to the game in the second quarter. The Chiefs, who headed to the must-win game with a 6-7 record, held a 13-10 advantage at halftime after two field goals from Harrison Butker in the second quarter.
