Xavier Worthy Cleared, Returns to Chiefs Practice as Injuries Prompt Roster Changes

Doctors diagnosed ear fluid imbalance as the source of Worthy’s symptoms rather than a concussion.

Overview

  • Xavier Worthy was cleared from concussion protocol and returned to full-pad practice on August 1 after missing Wednesday’s session.
  • Chiefs medical staff found that fluid in Worthy’s ear caused his equilibrium issues and ruled out a brain injury.
  • Marquise Brown remained out with an ankle injury and Skyy Moore continued to rehab a hamstring strain, limiting the receiver corps.
  • Linebacker Drue Tranquill exited practice with a back strain, adding to the team’s training camp health concerns.
  • Kansas City waived injured cornerbacks Darius Rush and Eric Scott Jr. and signed wide receiver Key’Shawn Smith along with cornerbacks Ajani Carter and Azizi Hearn to bolster depth.
