The Kansas City Chiefs listed wide receiver Xavier Worthy as doubtful for Sunday’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles, with coach Andy Reid leaving the door cracked open ever so slightly.
“I’d probably tell you it’s slim,” Reid said Friday. “But there’s still a chance to play, yeah.”
Reid said Worthy was doing “very well” in his recovery after teammate Travis Kelce collided with him in Week 1 and dislocated his right shoulder.
While running drills at practice Thursday, Worthy was wearing a white protective sleeve on his right arm that included padding at the upper arm and shoulder. Worthy was a limited participant both Thursday and Friday.
The 2024 first-round draft pick had 59 receptions for 638 yards and six touchdowns for the Chiefs as a rookie. He also ran the ball 20 times for 104 yards and three TDs.
The Chiefs, who are preparing for a Super Bowl LIX rematch against the defending champion Eagles, ruled out receiver Jalen Royals (knee).
