Chiefs’ fans took to social media to share their reactions to the latest injury report.

“It's important for the team to monitor player health closely. Managing Xavier Worthy’s workload and ensuring Jalen Royals recovers properly can help maintain performance and prevent injuries during the season,” a fan opined.

“It's very important for team mates to practice together...also very important for sports persons to practice regularly. But what was gave Xavier Worthy a limited practice time and why didn't Jalen Royals practice should be investigated,” a user suggested.

“Royals out for the game by the looks of it,” a fan shared.
