Overview

  • Worthy announced on X and Instagram that the procedure was successful and shared post‑operation images in a sling.
  • The surgery addressed a fully torn labrum sustained in a Week 1 collision with Travis Kelce during the season opener against the Chargers in Brazil.
  • He appeared in 14 games while managing shoulder and ankle issues, finishing with 42 receptions for 532 yards and one touchdown plus 87 rushing yards.
