Chiefs' Xavier Worthy Cleared With No Injury Designation for Sunday Night vs. Lions

His return addresses a thin receiving corps, with Detroit’s secondary depleted.

Overview

  • Team reports and multiple outlets note he skipped Thursday’s practice for shoulder and ankle maintenance, returned Friday in full, and carries no injury designation for Week 6.
  • Worthy’s availability follows a disrupted start that included a Week 1 shoulder injury and missed Weeks 2–3 before a Week 4 return.
  • In two full games this season, Patrick Mahomes targeted him 17 times for 11 receptions and 125 yards.
  • With Rashee Rice suspended, Worthy profiles as Kansas City’s top receiving option for the primetime matchup.
  • Detroit lists cornerbacks D.J. Reed, Terrion Arnold and Khalil Dorsey as out, while safeties Brian Branch and Kerby Joseph were questionable but expected to play.
