Overview

  • Kansas City designated Xavier Worthy as doubtful on the final injury report after he was limited in Friday’s practice.
  • Head coach Andy Reid told reporters Worthy has a "slim" chance to play against Philadelphia.
  • Worthy returned to practice Thursday and Friday with reduced padding on his right shoulder and caught passes as part of his rehab, and the team is not currently considering short-term IR or surgery.
  • The injury was diagnosed as a dislocated right shoulder from a Week 1 collision with Travis Kelce, who has taken responsibility for the play.
  • With Rashee Rice suspended six games and rookie Jalen Royals ruled out, Kansas City is expected to lean more on Marquise Brown, JuJu Smith-Schuster and Tyquan Thornton if Worthy sits.
