September 12 – The Super Bowl LIX rematch between the Kansas City Chiefs and the defending champion Philadelphia Eagles is heating up, but Chiefs fans are on edge as wide receiver Xavier Worthy has been listed as questionable.
Coach Andy Reid isn’t ruling out Worthy’s chances of playing, but admits the chances are “very slim.” “I’ll tell you it’s very slim, but there’s a glimmer of hope,” Reid said Friday. This is the first time fans have seen such uncertainty about Worthy’s status since a collision with teammate Travis Kelce in Week 1, when he dislocated his right shoulder.
Worthy has been limited in practice recently, wearing a protective sleeve and shoulder pads, leaving experts and fans to speculate about his chances of playing in this weekend’s big game.
The 2024 rookie has made a strong impression with 59 catches, 638 yards, and six touchdowns, along with 20 runs for 104 yards. However, the uncertainty over his presence against the Eagles is creating anxiety in Kansas City.
In addition, the Chiefs also ruled out Jalen Royals with a knee injury, adding to the uncertainty of the offensive line. Fans will have to wait for updates to find out if Xavier Worthy will be available for this important game.
