Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce recently expressed his remorse over a collision with his teammate, wide receiver Xavier Worthy, who injured his shoulder, in the team’s season-opening loss to the Los Angeles Chargers on Sept. 5 in Brazil.

“I'll take the most accountability myself,” Kelce said during his “New Heights” podcast on Wednesday. “I wasn’t ready that first drive, I ran into one of my guys and offed him out of the game.”
