Xavier Worthy, through his legal team, has released his first public statement after being arrested on Friday night in Texas. The situation of the Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver is very serious.

“We are aware of the allegation that led to Mr. Worthy’s arrest. We are working with law enforcement in Williamson County to ensure they have the benefit of the totality circumstances that led to this allegation.”

Now, the big question is whether the NFL will suspend the player, which would alter the Chiefs’ plans. Although they have already signed Hollywood Brown for another year to help Patrick Mahomes, Worthy’s absence would be crucial in their pursuit of the Super Bowl.
