Chiefs Rule Xavier Worthy Out for Week 2 vs. Eagles After Shoulder Injury

Kansas City is taking a conservative, non-surgical rehab approach after his dislocated right shoulder.

Overview

  • The team downgraded Worthy to out on Saturday after listing him doubtful on Friday despite limited practices with protective padding.
  • He injured his right shoulder on a Week 1 collision with Travis Kelce in São Paulo, and the tight end publicly accepted blame for the route error.
  • Andy Reid called his Week 2 chances "slim" and said Worthy is progressing, with no surgery or short-term injured reserve planned.
  • Multiple outlets report a Grade 2 AC joint sprain with an estimated 2–4 week recovery, though the club has not provided a timetable.
  • With Rashee Rice suspended and rookie Jalen Royals unavailable, Patrick Mahomes pivots to Marquise Brown, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Tyquan Thornton and Kelce for the Eagles rematch.
