The Kansas City Chiefs have a crucial game coming up Sunday.
The 5-4 Chiefs take on the 8-2 Denver Broncos in a game Kansas City probably needs to win to stay in the hunt for the AFC West title.
But on Thursday, the Chiefs got some bad injury news.
Xavier Worthy, who hadn't been on the injury report on Wednesday, was added on Thursday.

Xavier Worthy injury update
Worthy was added to the injury report on Thursday with an ankle injury.
He was listed as a limited practice participant.
These additions later in the week, after not being there to start the week, often involve practice injuries.
If Worthy left Thursday's practice with an ankle injury, that's not ideal.
The Chiefs have benefited from having Worthy healthy and Rashee Rice back from suspension the past few weeks.
If Worthy misses time, it'd push Hollywood Brown, JuJu Smith-Schuster and Tyquan Thornton into some combination of a bigger role.
Rice remains the top target guy, but Worthy's explosiveness is crucial to the Chiefs' offense.
Friday's injury report will be very telling.
