Chiefs Add Xavier Worthy to Injury Report With Ankle Issue, Week 11 Status Uncertain

Kansas City will clarify the wideout's availability on Friday's final report.

Overview

  • The second-year receiver was a new addition to Thursday's report with an ankle injury and was listed as a limited participant after not appearing on Wednesday's list.
  • Because the issue surfaced late in the week, some reports suggest it may have occurred in practice, though the team has not confirmed the cause.
  • The development comes ahead of Sunday's matchup against the 8-2 Broncos, a key game for the 5-4 Chiefs in the AFC West race.
  • If Worthy cannot go, Kansas City would lean more on Marquise Brown, JuJu Smith-Schuster and Tyquan Thornton, with Rashee Rice continuing as the primary target.
  • Worthy's season has been affected by previous injuries, including an earlier ankle problem, a dislocated shoulder that cost him games, and playing through a torn labrum.
