Chiefs’ Xavier Worthy released after Texas DA declines to pursue charges

• Kansas City wideout faced third-degree felony charge
• Worthy was taken in first round of last year's draft

Xavier Worthy was released Saturday after a district attorney in Texas declined to pursue charges against the Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver following an arrest in which he had been accused of felony domestic violence.

Williamson County district attorney Shawn Dick told the Austin American-Statesman his office had spoken with witnesses and was not accepting the case at this time. He also said Worthy and his lawyers were fully cooperating with the investigation.
