Xavier Worthy Cleared to Play vs. Ravens, Chiefs Say

The second-year wideout returns from a dislocated shoulder to bolster a thin Kansas City receiving group.

Overview

  • Coach Andy Reid said Worthy feels good, looked fast in practice, and will only play if he is physically comfortable.
  • Worthy was removed from the injury report after practicing fully this week, having missed two games following a Week 1 right-shoulder dislocation on a collision with Travis Kelce.
  • He is expected to play with a small harness on his right shoulder, according to ESPN reporting.
  • His availability provides Patrick Mahomes a needed speed threat as Kansas City seeks steadier passing production with Rashee Rice suspended and Jalen Royals recently sidelined.
  • Kansas City’s receiving mix now includes Marquise Brown and Tyquan Thornton, and the matchup comes against a Baltimore defense ranked 31st in points allowed, per ESPN.
