Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy (shoulder) has a shot to play next week against the Giants.

Worthy was ruled out for Sunday against the Eagles but him returning to practice, even on a limited basis, was a great sign and opened the door for an earlier return than expected. Certainly far from a guarantee. We’ll have to see how he practices this week, but the door is open for Worthy to play under the bright lights of Sunday Night Football next week on the road against the Giants. Marquise Brown and JuJu Smith-Schuster will lead the charge at the position against the Eagles.

The Chiefs officially ruled out wide receiver Xavier Worthy for Sunday’s Super Bowl rematch against the Philadelphia Eagles with a shoulder injury.

The good news is Worthy did return to practice this week, even if just as a limited participant, just days after his friendly fire injury against the Chargers. Head coach Andy Reid indicated the odds were long that Worthy would play Sunday. He was originally listed as doubtful on Friday. Juju Smith-Schuster and Marquise Brown will lead the charge in the passing game against an Eagles secondary that has a stud in Quinyon Mitchell and a question mark in Adoree’ Jackson.

Brown is the most obvious beneficiary and should be considered a fringe WR2/3. Smith-Schuster will operate underneath with a limited ceiling, while Thornton is a desperation boom/bust play.

The rumor has been that the team will try to have Worthy play through the injury with a brace, but it's hard to expect him back out on the field in Week 2. Brown is the most obvious beneficiary and should be considered a fringe WR2/3. Smith-Schuster will operate underneath with a limited ceiling ,while Thornton is a desperation boom/bust play.

Chiefs coach Andy Reid says WR Xavier Worthy continues to rehab. He won't practice today. Surgery and a potential IR stint are not being considered at this time.

The rumor is, the team will try to have Worthy play through the injury with a brace, but we shouldn't expect him back out on the field in Week 2. Brown is the most obvious beneficiary, and should be considered a fringe WR2/3. Smith-Schuster will operate underneath with a limited ceiling while Thornton is a desperation boom/bust play.

Chiefs coach Andy Reid describes Xavier Worthy as "day-to-day" on Sports Radio 810, an indication that the plan is to rehab and attempt to play with a brace -- rather than immediate surgery. Some good news initially.

Worthy collided with teammate Travis Kelce on the play early in the game, which led to the injury and Worthy missing most of Week 1's contest. It's good news for owners Worthy is at least going to attempt to play with the injury, and we'll have to pay close attention to his status in practice this week, as well as the injury report. Owners may want to first "wait-and-see" before slotting Worthy back into fantasy lineups.

Xavier Worthy suffered a dislocated shoulder during Friday’s game against the Chargers and is still undergoing tests.

Worthy suffered the injury early in the game due to friendly fire with TE Travis Kelce while running a mesh concept. The hope is that Worthy can return with a brace but will likely miss some time. Surgery is still an option.

With Rashee Rice suspended for five more games and Worthy likely missing time, the Chiefs top three receivers are currently Marquise Brown, Juju Smith-Schuster and a mix of Jalen Royals and Tyquan Thornton.

Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy has been ruled out with a shoulder injury.

The injury, in which he ran full speed into teammate Travis Kelce, did not look great, as he was immediately led back into the locker room. We'll keep an eye on the situation in the coming days to see exactly how serious it is.

Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown is off the injury report and good to go tomorrow night vs. the Chargers in Brazil.

Good sign for Mahomes and the offense in general, as they will already be without Rashee Rice for the opening portion of the season. Pencil in Worthy is a potential upside WR4 in Week 1.

Texans general manager Nick Caserio was noncommittal about whether Pro Bowl running back Joe Mixon will play in 2025.

Caserio was asked Wednesday morning if Mixon would suit up at all this season but did not provide any clarity on the status of the team's leading rusher from last season.

"We'll see. We'll take it one day at a time," Caserio said. "We'll evaluate those players after four weeks and see where they are in their progression and then make a determination."

Mixon has been undraftable for a while now, but even stashing him away seems to be a hard pill to swallow at this point. Chubb will hold the RB1 title for now, but he looked pretty rough upon returning from a major injury last season. Woody Marks is one of the best last-round picks you can make at the moment.
