Mahomes Set to Start vs. Giants as Chiefs Rule Out Xavier Worthy and Mike Danna

Rookie replacements plus a depleted receiving group reshape Kansas City’s plan.

Overview

  • Andy Reid said Patrick Mahomes’ wrist swelling subsided, and the quarterback logged three full practices and is expected to play.
  • The Chiefs ruled WR Xavier Worthy out for Week 3 and said he will not travel after a Week 1 shoulder injury on a collision with Travis Kelce.
  • DE Mike Danna (quadriceps) was listed out on the final injury report, with rookies Ashton Gillotte and Omarr Norman-Lott expected to absorb snaps.
  • Kansas City is still without Rashee Rice due to a six-game suspension, narrowing options for Mahomes after a modest two-game start (58.8% passing, 445 yards, two TDs, one INT).
  • Both teams are 0-2 entering Sunday Night Football at MetLife Stadium, with kickoff set for 8:20 p.m. ET.
