""I'm supposed to be running my route at depth for Worthy so it's frustrating for me. I was trying to kind of set up my guy to be able to get in a position and it all just happened pretty quick. And I just got to be better man," Kelce said. "I'm 13 years in the league. There's no excuse for me running into my own guys like that. Worthy has his guy beat and we're out the gate, and that game starts completely different.""
""I ran into one of my guys and offed him out of the game. I literally took one of my players out. That's one of the most frustrating parts and it's hard to get your juices back going knowing you just hurt a guy," he said."
Travis Kelce acknowledged responsibility for a collision that injured receiver Xavier Worthy during the Kansas City Chiefs season opener loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. The collision occurred on the third snap when Worthy ran a crossing route and collided with Kelce running a crossing route in the opposite direction, resulting in a right shoulder injury that forced Worthy out of the game. Kelce called the incident frustrating, emphasized a need to be better after 13 NFL seasons, and described no excuse for running into a teammate. Worthy’s availability for the upcoming rematch with the Philadelphia Eagles remained unclear, and Kelce expressed hope for a rapid return given Worthy’s work ethic and improvement.
