Xavier Worthy Injury Update: Will Chiefs WR play vs. Jaguars on Monday Night Football?

Published:

Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy dislocated his shoulder after running into Travis Kelce in Week 1, causing him to miss the next two games. In Week 4, he played 59% of the snaps and hauled in five of eight targets for 83 yards while rushing twice for 38 yards.

After practicing all week, Worthy was added to the injury report on Sunday with an ankle issue. He rolled it during a practice and it swelled getting off the plane in Jacksonville on Sunday. On Monday, an hour before kickoff, Worthy was cleared to play and is officially active.

Jacksonville has been great against opposing passing attacks this season, racking up nine interceptions and the second-lowest EPA per dropback, but they faced Bryce Young, Jake Browning, C.J. Stroud and Brock Purdy. Now they get Patrick Mahomes. Watch for Worthy to see his number called often on in primetime.
