Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy returned to practice Thursday, nearly a week after he dislocated his right shoulder in the team’s season-opening defeat Friday against the Los Angeles Chargers at Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Worthy was a non-participant in Chiefs practice Wednesday and his status for Sunday’s Super Bowl rematch against the Philadelphia Eagles remains in doubt.
Worthy was injured when he collided with teammate Travis Kelce on a crossing pattern during Friday’s game on the third offensive snap.
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.
A first-round draft pick out of Texas last year, Worthy, 22, had 59 receptions for 638 yards and six touchdowns for the Chiefs. He also ran the ball 20 times for 104 yards and three TDs.
In three playoff games last season, Worthy had 19 receptions for 287 yards with three TDs, including two in the Super Bowl against the Eagles on eight receptions for 157 yards.
The Chiefs fell 40-22 in Super Bowl LIX at New Orleans.
