Chiefs’ Xavier Worthy Sits Out Thursday With Shoulder, Ankle Issues

Friday's practice should clarify his availability against Detroit.

Overview

  • Worthy did not participate in Thursday's session after being a full participant on Wednesday, per team reporters.
  • His ankle swelled on last weekend's flight to Jacksonville, and he still played Monday, finishing with six receptions for 42 yards and a nine-yard run.
  • He has been managing a reported torn labrum since a Week 1 shoulder dislocation that sidelined him for Weeks 2 and 3 before a productive Week 4 return.
  • Kansas City is monitoring the situation on a short week with his game status for the Lions currently unknown.
  • With Rashee Rice suspended, Marquise Brown leads the team in targets and catches, and Tyquan Thornton tops the club with 272 receiving yards and an NFL-best 20.9 yards per reception.
