Chiefs in the Market for WR After Xavier Worthy Injury: Report
The Chiefs have been in the market for a wide receiver ahead of Tuesday's NFL trade deadline.
The Kansas City Chiefs are reportedly exploring the possibility of acquiring a wide receiver ahead of the NFL trade deadline on Tuesday, following the injury to Xavier Worthy during their recent game against the New York Jets. Worthy suffered a hamstring injury in the final moments of Sunday's 35-12 win, leaving his availability uncertain.
General Manager Brett Veach had previously indicated that the team was targeting a wide receiver before the deadline, and with Worthy's injury, a trade is now seen as an increased priority. CBS's Tracy Wolfson reported that discussions with potential trade candidates have intensified in recent days, with some high-profile targets becoming unavailable.
Names such as Indianapolis Colts' Josh Downs and Jacksonville Jaguars' Brian Thomas Jr. have been mentioned in the rumors. Kansas City may also consider trading their own player, Jauan Jennings, who is currently on a one-year contract and could be targeted by other teams. As the Chiefs rely on tight end Travis Kelce for their deep threats, they are actively seeking a receiver to bolster their offense. Through eight games, Worthy has recorded 33 receptions for 278 yards and one touchdown.
