Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy was arrested Friday night on a family domestic violence charge in Texas.
Per jail records from Williamson County, Texas, Worthy was charged with assault against a family or household member by impeding their breathing or circulation.
The charge is a third-degree felony in Texas and is punishable with a sentence of two to 10 years in prison and a fine not to exceed $10,000.
Under Texas law, impeding breathing includes 'intentionally, knowingly or recklessly impeding the normal breathing or circulation of the blood of the person by applying pressure to the person's throat or neck or by blocking the person's nose or mouth.'
'We are aware and gathering information,' the Chiefs said in a statement Saturday morning, per NFL Network.
The situation involving Worthy makes the second straight offseason that a Chiefs wide receiver has found trouble off the field. Rashee Rice was arrested in April for his involvement in a multi-car crash while racing a Lamborghini in Dallas.
Worthy, 21, bolted out of the blocks and set an NFL Scouting Combine record with a time of 4.21 in the 40-yard dash. He was selected by the Chiefs with the 28th overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft.
He had 59 catches for 638 yards and six touchdowns and rushed for three more scores.
Worthy had three touchdown receptions in the playoffs, including two in the second half of the Chiefs' 40-22 setback to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans.
