Chiefs Get Brief Injury Scare During Tuesday's Training Camp Practice
The last time the Kansas City Chiefs took the field was back in February, when they suffered a blowout loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX.
Now, with training camp underway, the Chiefs appear more motivated than ever to bounce back. However, they experienced a brief scare on Tuesday during practice when second-year wide receiver and key offensive piece Xavier Worthy came up shaken after a diving attempt on a deep pass. Worthy immediately headed to the medical tent, causing a moment of concern.
Fortunately, after quarterback Patrick Mahomes checked on Worthy shortly after, and the receiver soon returned to the field with his helmet in hand—excellent news for the Chiefs, as the injury was not serious enough to keep him out of practice for long.
Fans had a sign of relief to the news of Worthy returning:
"Thank you!!!" A fan said.
Someone else added, "Oh, thank you God!"
Another person wrote, "Phew."
"I was way too close to crying," one more fan commented.
Kansas City dealt with a slew of injuries last season, particularly at the wide receiver position. They were without Marquise 'Hollywood' Brown for most of the year and lost Rashee Rice for the season in Week 4 against the Los Angeles Chargers.
Losing Worthy would be a major blow, as he has emerged as a key piece in the Chiefs' offensive scheme and is expected to take on an even larger role in his second year. During his rookie campaign in 2024, Worthy recorded 59 receptions for 638 yards and six touchdowns, while also adding 20 carries for 104 yards and three rushing scores.This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jul 29, 2025, where it first appeared.

David Bednar goes longer than expected for his 1st Yankees save to end their 5-game skid
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — David Bednar got his first save for the New York Yankees after going a little longer than expected, and ended their five-game losing streak before going home. Bednar got the final five outs, all on strikeouts, in their 3-2 win at Texas on Wednesday. The game-ending one came with two runners on base after manager Aaron Boone had gone to the mound with the intention of pulling the right-hander that New York acquired from Pittsburgh at the trade deadline last Thursday. 'I said, 'I'm going to take you here.' And he gave me a look like, no you're not,' Boone said. 'He absolutely wanted the ball and, you know, felt like his stuff was still there. ... What a great, gutsy effort." Bednar's 18th save overall this season came in his third appearance for the Yankees (61-54), who remained ahead of Texas for the American League's third and final wild-card spot. They have a day off before opening a three-game series against AL West-leading Houston at home on Friday night after Bednar's first two series with New York were on the road. Bednar had two strikeouts to end the eighth and two more to open the ninth before Corey Seager walked on six pitches and Marcus Semien grounded a 3-1 pitch through the right side of the infield for a single. Bednar, already at a season-high 36 pitches and with cleanup hitter Adolis García headed to the plate, initially didn't see his new manager walking toward him. 'I was just kind of getting my mind right to face García,' Bednar said. 'I told (Boone) I wanted him and, you know, he agreed. And I just wanted to bear down and get that last one.' Bednar struck out García, finishing with a season-high 42 pitches for his most since 43 in an eight-out save for the Pirates at St. Louis on June 15, 2022. It was the third time this season Bednar recorded five outs, and the second in his week with the Yankees. 'That was awesome, especially that last one,' said Paul Goldschmidt, whose pinch-hit solo homer in the seventh broke a 2-2 tie. 'To go out out there and make those pitches was huge.' ___ AP MLB: Stephen Hawkins, The Associated Press

Smiling through: Alcaraz won't let Wimbledon defeat get him down
Carlos Alcaraz says he has refused to let his Wimbledon finals loss to Jannik Sinner wipe the smile from his face as he prepares for his start at the ATP-WTA Cincinnati Masters. The world number two, who was defeated in a Grand Slam final for the first time in his career in London last month, spent his first full day at the Cincinnati site on Wednesday and said he is ready for a reboot during the second half of the season. "Even if I lost, I left the court proud after Wimbledon," the 2023 Cincinnati finalist said. "But the goals can change during the second half of the season. "My goal is to keep doing the right thing and improving. I want to enjoy my time on and off the court. "But I also want to try and recover the number one ranking by the end of the year," he added. The world number two, who joined the top-ranked Sinner in skipping the ATP Toronto Masters, said he spent a refreshing three weeks at home in Spain after his Wimbledon defeat. "I took a week off, not doing anything. Then I started training at home and visiting with friends and family. Just being at home in the summer - I couldn't believe it. "I tried to make the most of my time. I wanted to come strong to Cincy." Alcaraz, who beat Sinner in the French Open final before falling to the Italian at Wimbledon, said he is "happy to be building such a rivalry. "We've done a lot in tennis in a short period of time," he said. "People talk about what we have done for the history books. But we have long careers ahead of us.. let's see how far we can go." str/bb
