Worthy is good to go.
The Chiefs’ wide receiver is not on the injury report, paving the way to play in Sunday’s game against the Ravens.
“He feels good,” Reid said at Friday’s press conference. “We don’t have to worry about his legs. He’s been able to keep himself in good shape and he’s ready to go.”
In Week 1, Worthy collided with Travis Kelce on the first drive of the game and injured his shoulder. Worthy left the game and has not played since.
Worthy might have been able to play last week if it were a playoff game. However, Kansas City played it safe and sat him against the New York Giants.
This week, Worthy was a full participant in practice and carries no designation on the Chiefs’ final injury report.
“I mean, we’re not gonna put him out there if he’s not healthy enough to go play and where he feels comfortable,” Reid said about Worthy. “He feels good, and then the other team, they’re gonna play hard no matter what, whether you have a shoulder [injury] or not. They’re gonna try to knock you around a little bit. That’s why you want to make sure you’re in the right frame of mind to go do it and physically OK.”
Coming into the season, Worthy was expected to emerge as the Chiefs’ first or second option for Patrick Mahomes.
After a middling start in 2024, Worthy finished his rookie season with 59 receptions for 638 yards and six touchdowns. Worthy stepped his game up in the postseason, hauling in 19 receptions for 287 yards and three touchdowns.
Reinforcements On The Way For Kansas City

To say the Chiefs’ offense has been stagnant would be an understatement. Kansas City ranks 21st in scoring (20.0 points per game), but it’s looked a lot worse.
Mahomes’ top targets have been Travis Kelce, Hollywood Brown, and Tyquan Thornton.
The Chiefs have been missing their top two receivers — Worthy and Rashee Rice — for the first three weeks.
Worthy will be back in Week 4. Meanwhile, Rice is suspended for the first six games of the season.
Meanwhile, the Ravens’ defense has been terrible so far. Baltimore ranks 32nd in total yards (415.0), 31st in passing defense (266.3), and 31st in scoring (32.0).
The Chiefs (1-2) face the Ravens (1-2) on Sept. 28 at 4:25 p.m. ET.
