Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy doubtful for SB rematch vs. Eagles - ESPN

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Following their final practice this week, the Kansas City Chiefs listed receiver Xavier Worthy, who is recovering from a dislocated right shoulder, as doubtful for Sunday's Super Bowl rematch against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Worthy took positive steps in his recovery from the injury this week but was a limited participant in Friday's practice, the second consecutive day he was seen at practice catching passes.

Following Friday's practice, coach Andy Reid said there was a slim chance that Worthy would be in uniform for Sunday's game, before adding that the second-year receiver could do more drills prior to the game as part of his recovery process.

«He did a little bit of team work, but that was it,» Reid said. «He's doing very well.»

Worthy sported extra padding on his right shoulder for the injury he sustained during a collision with teammate Travis Kelce, who was running a crossing route in the opposite direction, on the third play of the Kansas City's Week 1 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.

The Chiefs are already short-handed at receiver with rookie Jalen Royals listed as out for Sunday's game because of a right knee injury. Rashee Rice, the Chiefs' top receiver, serving a six-game suspension for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy.

If not Sunday, the Chiefs are optimistic that Worthy will return soon, perhaps as early as Week 3 against the New York Giants.
