KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Xavier Worthy at 21 years old suddenly finds himself as the Kansas City Chiefs' top wide receiver after they've lost Hollywood Brown and Rashee Rice to injuries.

Worthy, the Chiefs' first-round draft pick, leads the team's healthy wideouts in catches (9), yards (154) and touchdowns (2).

But coach Andy Reid said the Chiefs plan to spread the ball around to all of their receivers rather than ask Worthy alone to make up for the lost production in the absence of Rice, who injured his right knee in the Chiefs' win over the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday. «We've got guys here that have experience of playing in the game,'' Reid said. „It's not that he's the only one, doesn't have to be the only one.

We've got a good group of guys there that we can utilize, and we normally spread the ball around and that's what we'll continue to strive to do.'' Reid said the Chiefs didn't have all of the results from tests given to Rice to confirm the extent of the injury, but he ruled the receiver out for the game against the New Orleans Saints on Monday night.
