Chiefs Clear Xavier Worthy to Return vs. Ravens After Full Practice Week

His speed offers a downfield option for a sputtering offense that has lacked balance in Rice’s absence.

Overview

  • Worthy was a full participant in practice all week, came off the final injury report, and he and Patrick Mahomes were declared active for Sunday, per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
  • The second-year receiver dislocated his right shoulder on the third play of Week 1 after a collision with Travis Kelce and missed the past two games.
  • Coach Andy Reid said Worthy feels good and will play only if physically ready, while some outlets report he plans to wear a shoulder harness and delay surgery for a torn labrum.
  • Kansas City’s offense has struggled through three weeks at about 20 points per game, with an ineffective run game that has left Mahomes carrying too much of the load.
  • With Rashee Rice still suspended, Worthy returns to a thin receiver group that includes Hollywood Brown and Tyquan Thornton, whose usage could shift with a restored deep threat.
