Chiefs' Travis Kelce says he felt 'like s---' after injuring teammate Xavier Worthy in collision
The "FOX NFL Sunday" crew previewed the Super Bowl Rematch between the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs.
Travis Kelce collided with and injured Xavier Worthy on the third play of the Kansas City Chiefs’ 27-21 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers last week in Brazil, and the star tight end opened up about the play during a recent episode of his podcast.
Kelce, 35, said he felt like "s---" after he ran into Worthy, who dislocated his shoulder on the play, per multiple reports.
"I owe my guy big time, man. X knows it. I felt like s---, I could barely even f------ play the rest of that first half but we geared it up once I found out that he was, you know, in better spirits than I imagined in halftime," Kelce said during "New Heights."

Kelce said that as a team they weren’t ready as leaders, and he took "the most accountability" for the play that injured Worthy.
"I wasn’t ready that first drive, 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. It’s just … it’s a frustrating, frustrating, way to start off the season, frustrating way to start off the game," Kelce said.
The 10-time Pro Bowler said he was running his route to set up Worthy with hopes that he could have sprung Worthy free.
