Andy Reid made a very surprising statement before the Kansas City Chiefs face the Philadelphia Eagles at Arrowhead Stadium. After his shoulder injury, Xavier Worthy had some chance to play in the highly anticipated Super Bowl rematch.
Worthy participated in a small portion of team practice on Friday, which is why the head coach at the time didnāt completely rule him out. āIāll probably tell you that chances are slim, but thereās still a chance, yeah. Heās doing very well. So, positive. All stuff is positive.ā
Patrick Mahomes needs all the help he can get after the loss to the Chargers, considering that Rashee Rice is suspended and the offense looked stagnant at times in Brazil.
Is Xavier Worthy playing for Chiefs against Eagles?
No. The Kansas City Chiefs have officially ruled out Xavier Worthy for the game against the Eagles due to his shoulder injury. After the collision with Travis Kelce, the wide receiver reportedly chose not to have surgery and might use a brace to take the field. However, it wasnāt enough time for him to recover this week.
Despite Reid showing optimism in Fridayās press conference, the Chiefs confirmed on Saturday that they had decided not to risk the star wide receiver, at least for this Super Bowl rematch.
Who is injured with Chiefs?
Jalen Royals is still injured and wonāt play against the Eagles, delivering another tough blow to the wide receiver room. Meanwhile, as it has been mentioned, in the latest injury report Xavier Worthy has been ruled out.
