Chiefs Locker Room Explodes as Travis Kelce Gets Cursed Out by Teammate After Worthy Injury

The Kansas City Chiefs entered their season opener with high expectations, but a 21–27 defeat to the Los Angeles Chargers exposed early cracks. The loss didn’t just sting on the field — it spilled over into the locker room.Chiefs game tickets

The turning point came almost immediately. Rookie wide receiver Xavier Worthy went down with a shoulder injury in the first quarter, stripping Patrick Mahomes of his most dynamic speed threat and forcing Kansas City to rethink its offensive approach.

Without Worthy stretching the defense, Mahomes labored to sustain drives. The Chargers repeatedly built leads, capitalizing on stalled possessions and turnovers. By halftime, the Chiefs were chasing the game, and frustration began to mount on the sideline.

Afterward, Travis Kelce admitted the defeat hurt beyond the scoreboard. “I don’t care about the slap, that’s nothing. What truly matters is Worthy’s injury and how we let our fans down. The hardest part? Even inside our locker room, one of my own teammates cursed me straight to my face for what happened. That hurt more than anything on the field

That teammate was defensive captain Chris Jones, who erupted in anger following the game. According to multiple witnesses, Jones shouted directly at Kelce, a moment that stunned teammates and underscored the tension of an emotional loss

Players described the exchange as raw and unsettling, with silence falling over the room until coaches stepped in. Sources say Kelce sat quietly at his locker afterward, visibly shaken as younger players tried to console him.

For head coach Andy Reid, the challenge now extends beyond tactics. Publicly he downplayed the altercation, but privately, leaders know repairing trust will be as crucial as correcting the mistakes that led to Sunday’s defeat.
