Chiefs Noncommittal on Xavier Worthy for Week 3 After Practice Return

Andy Reid said the rookie 'did a nice job' in Friday's session, with medical staff set to decide on shoulder readiness.

Overview

  • Worthy dislocated his shoulder on the third offensive snap in Week 1 and did not play in Week 2.
  • He practiced this week and worked Friday, but Reid said "we'll see how it goes" regarding his status for Sunday night against the Giants.
  • Worthy was limited leading into last week's game and was listed as doubtful before being inactive, leaving his Week 3 availability uncertain.
  • Patrick Mahomes called Worthy's presence in practice very encouraging and described him as a constant big‑play threat.
  • Kansas City is 0-2 with Rashee Rice suspended until Week 7; rookie Jalen Royals practiced as he rehabs a knee issue and Tyquan Thornton led receivers in Week 2 with 59 yards and a touchdown.
