Overview
- During Saturday’s training-camp session, Cyrus Allen collided with cornerback Kaiir Elam on a punt-gunner rep, stayed down and was taken from the field in the front of a cart for further evaluation of a left knee/lower-leg injury.
- The Chiefs confirmed that Xavier Worthy left the same practice early with a shoulder problem and that both players were being medically checked after the session.
- Allen had been a surprise early standout who earned first-team opportunities after making multiple acrobatic catches from Patrick Mahomes, and his absence would remove a fast-rising, low-cost option from a position already thin on depth.
- Kansas City has an off day Sunday and will begin padded work Monday, with team imaging and medical updates expected to clarify whether the injuries are short-term or will cost one or both players significant time.
- The injuries add to earlier camp losses and depth questions — including Ethan Downs’ torn ACL and John Michael Gyllenborg’s placement on injured reserve — and will force changes in special-teams roles, practice reps and the receiver competition.
