Won't return to contest Worthy (hamstring) won't return to Sunday's game against the Jets.

Impact Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com previously noted that Worthy immediately grabbed his hamstring and was unable to put weight on his leg after sustaining his injury Sunday. That Worthy was so quickly ruled out for the remainder of the contest is certainly concerning in terms of his status for next week's game against the Falcons.

Exits Sunday's game Worthy left Sunday's game against the Jets with an apparent leg injury, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Impact Per Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com, Worthy immediately grabbed his hamstring and was unable to put weight on his leg before heading to the blue medical tent to get checked out. Prior to his exit from the contest, Worthy caught all six of his targets for 48 yards.

Three catches in loss Worthy caught three of six targets for 13 yards during Sunday's 28-24 loss to the Broncos.

Impact Worthy put together another disappointing performance, reeling three passes while failing to exceed 15 receiving yards for the second straight game. The wide receiver operated in a more prominent role for a couple weeks with Rashee Rice sidelined with a hamstring injury, but Rice returned to action Sunday, reeling in seven of eight targets for 53 yards. Worthy will continue to be an unappealing fantasy option ahead of the team's Week 9 matchup with the Jets.

Reverting to WR2 duties vs. Denver Rashee Rice (knee/hamstring) has no injury designation for Sunday's game against the Broncos, so Worthy will move back into his WR2 role for Week 8.

Impact Rice injured his hamstring in knee against the Raiders in Week 4 and missed each of the Chiefs' two games following the Week 5 bye. During that two-game absence, Worthy turned 13 targets into 10 catches for 84 yards, but the return of Rice may give the former more space to operate in the passing game, seeing as the Broncos' defense will also have to account for the returning Rice and veteran tight end Travis Kelce.

The Obvious Solution To Fix Chiefs’ Offense; Packers Can't Stop Beating Themselves

Held to 11 yards on six targets Worthy caught three of six targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 20-3 loss to the Seahawks.

Impact Seattle successfully limited Worthy's output in the absence of Rashee Rice (hamstring/knee), with the versatile Nick Emmanwori running stride for stride with the speedy Worthy on a couple of downfield misconnections. Worthy finished second behind Travis Kelce (eight) in targets but sixth on the Chiefs in receiving yards Sunday. Heading into a Week 8 road game against the Broncos, Worthy has drawn at least six targets in five of six games this season. He has reached 70 yards twice and failed to eclipse 25 yards in any of the other four games.

Impact It'll be the second consecutive game that Rice will be sidelined due to hamstring and knee injuries that he sustained in Week 4 against the Raiders. Worthy paced the Chiefs with seven catches on as many targets for 73 yards in a Week 6 win against the Chargers, and the third-year wideout will once again lead Kansas City's wide receiver group for Week 7, with Jalen Royals and rookie Cyrus Allen also in the mix for more larger roles.

Leads KC in receiving Sunday Worthy totaled seven catches on as many targets for 73 yards during Sunday's 22-6 victory versus the Chargers.

Impact Worthy served as the Chiefs' No. 1 WR in Week 6 with Rashee Rice (hamstring/knee) on the pine, and the former paced the team in all receiving categories on an afternoon in which QB Patrick Mahomes didn't record a touchdown pass. There are bound to be weeks like Sunday in which a ground game led by RB Kenneth Walker keeps Kansas City's offense humming along, but if Rice continues to miss time, Worthy figures to be among the team's leading pass catchers on a weekly basis.

OCTOBER 18 • Associated Press

Operating as Chiefs' WR1 Worthy will be the Chiefs' top wideout against the Chargers on Sunday due to the absence of Rashee Rice (hamstring/knee).

Impact Rice sustained his injuries during the Chiefs' Week 4 win against the Raiders, and the extra rest courtesy of the Week 5 bye was not enough for him to be cleared to play Sunday. Worthy finished that Week 4 contest with four catches (on seven targets) for 70 yards, and with Rice sidelined, quarterback Patrick Mahomes will rely more heavily on Worthy and veteran tight end Travis Kelce in the passing game, with Jalen Royals and rookie Cyrus Allen also in line for more playing time on offense.

Posts 70 yards as two WRs get hurt Worthy caught four of seven targets for 70 yards in Sunday's 30-27 win over the Raiders.

Impact Worthy finished second on the team in targets and receiving yards behind Tyquan Thornton, who caught five of eight targets for 111 yards and two touchdowns prior to suffering an ankle injury in the fourth quarter. Rashee Rice (hamstring) exited the game in the first quarter, so Worthy is the top healthy wide receiver for Kansas City, though Rice will have a chance to heal during the Week 5 bye before the Chargers come to town in Week 6.

OCTOBER 4 • CHIEFS.COM

Minimal output in Week 3 win Worthy caught both of his targets for 20 yards during Sunday's 24-10 win over the Dolphins.

Impact Worthy entered Sunday's game on the heels of a 5-25-1 performance (on seven targets) during the Chiefs' Week 2 overtime win over the Colts. He didn't see any targets in the red zone Sunday compared to the three he had against Indianapolis, though he did lead all Chiefs wide receivers with 43 offensive snaps. His speed makes him a boom-or-bust candidate every week, though Worthy and the Chiefs pass catchers could thrive in a Week 4 road tilt against the Raiders if Las Vegas' rookie safety Treydan Stukes (concussion) is unable to play.
