Chiefs Downgrade Xavier Worthy to Questionable for Monday Night vs. Jaguars

A report describes the late designation as precautionary following ankle swelling after the team flight.

Overview

  • Worthy was added to the injury report Sunday evening with a shoulder/ankle designation and is listed as questionable for Kansas City’s game in Jacksonville.
  • He practiced fully all week and had no Saturday designation after returning in Week 4 to post five catches for 83 yards plus two rushes for 38.
  • NFL Network’s Cameron Wolfe reported Worthy’s ankle was swollen after travel, and multiple outlets characterize the move as precautionary with a game-day evaluation planned.
  • The rookie receiver has been playing through a torn labrum sustained in Week 1 and missed Weeks 2 and 3 before his strong return.
  • If Worthy is limited or inactive, targets are expected to shift to Tyquan Thornton, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Marquise Brown and the tight ends, with final status set when inactives are released about 90 minutes before kickoff.
