Impact Worthy reportedly impressed during mandatory minicamp despite still being in the final stages of his recovery from January surgery undergone to address his labrum injury, which prevented him from taking contact. The 2024 first-round pick no longer appears to have any such restrictions, joining fellow top wideout Rashee Rice, who has also been cleared for the start of training camp. Worthy only produced a 42-532-1 line on 73 targets across 14 regular-season appearances in 2025, but his shoulder injury seemingly played a significant role in hampering his production. He'll work to rebound in 2026 alongside Rice and Tyquan Thornton, with Jalen Royals, Cyrus Allen and Nikko Remigio filling out the WR room.

Impresses coach during minicamp Coach Andy Reid noted Thursday that Worthy (shoulder) looked good at this week's minicamp, Jesse Newell of The Athletic reports.

Impact While Worthy (who is in the final stages of his recovery from a shoulder procedure he underwent in January to repair his labrum) sported a no-contact jersey during the minicamp which concluded Thursday, his efforts nonetheless caught the eye of Reid. "Xavier really had a nice camp," Reid said of the 2024 first-rounder. "Stronger -- that's the part that you like. You really see it. We put him in a lot of the primary positions, and I thought he did a nice job with all of it." Next up for Worthy and the Chiefs will be training camp next month, at which point he may be able to shed his non-contact jersey. He's coming off a 2025 regular season in which he record a modest 42-532-1 receiving line on 73 targets through 14 contests, but Worthy acknowledges that the shoulder injury he sustained on the first drive of the campaign hampered his effectiveness. Assuming no setbacks ahead of Week 1, Worthy could be poised for a bounce-back in 2026 while working as a key option in Kansas City WR corps that is also in line to feature fellow returnee Rashee Rice (knee), with the likes of Tyquan Thornton, Jalen Royals and Cyrus Allen in the mix as well.

Had offseason shoulder surgery Worthy (shoulder) has been limited at OTAs this week after he underwent offseason left shoulder surgery, Matt Foster of KSHB Kansas City reports.

Impact Worthy is doing individual drills and wearing a yellow non-contact jersey at practice this week. The 23-year-old suffered a serious shoulder injury on the third offensive snap of the season in the Chiefs' Week 1 loss to the Chargers last September and missed the following two contests. He dealt with the torn labrum for the entire 2025 campaign and finished his second NFL season with a meager 42-532-1 receiving line on 73 targets across 14 regular-season appearances. With Rashee Rice dealing with legal issues and Travis Kelce set to turn 37 years old this season, the Chiefs need Worthy to stay healthy and take a significant third-year leap.

Inactive as expected Sunday Worthy (illness) is inactive for Sunday's Week 18 matchup against the Raiders, Matt McMullen of the team's official site reports.

Impact The second-year speedster was already carrying a doubtful tag into the weekend, so his inactive status is of little surprise. In Worthy's absence versus Las Vegas, veterans Hollywood Brown and JuJu Smith-Schuster are set to operate as the top two wide-receiver targets for starting quarterback Chris Oladokun.

JANUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Doubtful for season finale Worthy (illness) is officially listed as doubtful for Sunday's season finale against the Raiders.

Impact Worthy could not practice in any capacity during Week 18 prep due to an illness, and it appears as though he'll sit out Kansas City's season finale. With Tyquan Thornton (concussion) and Rashee Rice (concussion) both on IR, Hollywood Brown, JuJu Smith-Schuster and Jalen Royals will be positioned as Kansas City's starters in three-receiver stets to close out the 2025 campaign, assuming Worthy is indeed ruled out prior to Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.
