Chiefs WRs Xavier Worthy and Cyrus Allen left Saturday's training camp practice with injuries, but neither is serious. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport hears that Worthy hurt a shoulder but "is believed to be OK." Allen, meanwhile, has been diagnosed with a shin bruise, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. We'll see when these guys are able to get back on the practice field, but it doesn't sound like either is in danger of missing the start of the season. Worthy remains primed to open as Kansas City's No. 2 WR, while Allen seems to be making a strong push for the No. 4 spot on the depth chart behind Rashee Rice, Worthy, and Tyquan Thornton.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the Chiefs are "evaluating" a shoulder injury for WR Xavier Worthy.

Chiefs HC Andy Reid said he had to alter WR Xavier Worthy's role last year after his Week 1 shoulder injury. Worthy went down with a dislocated shoulder on his third snap of the season. He missed the next two games and then averaged just 3.2 catches and 40.9 yards over the final 13 contests.

With QB Patrick Mahomes out for the season after tearing his ACL and WR Rashee Rice missing this week with a concussion, the Chiefs offense struggled against a poor Titans’ defense. QB Gardner Minshew left the game with a knee injury in the second quarter forcing the team to turn to QB Chris Oladokun. The team only scored 6 points* for the remainder of the game.

The Chiefs believe QB Gardner Minshew tore his left ACL in the loss to the Titans, according to Chiefs Digest's Matt Derrick. Minshew is scheduled for an MRI to confirm, but he likely becomes the second straight Chiefs QB to suffer a season-ending knee injury. Kansas City will be down to QB Chris Oladokun the rest of the way. The 28-year-old, 2022 seventh-round pick had not thrown a regular-season pass before going 11-of-16 for 111 yards vs. the Titans today. Other than maybe WR Rashee Rice and TE Travis Kelce, the Chiefs' passing game will be hands-off against the Broncos in Week 17.

Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy (ankle) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. He should be available for this weekend's game vs. the Colts, although we wonder how big a deal this ankle is considering Worthy's lackluster production. We'll see if he's removed from the final injury report tomorrow.

Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. He was added to the injury report last Thursday with an ankle but practiced on Friday and then played vs. the Broncos. We're tentatively expecting Worthy to be out there for Sunday's game vs. the Colts, but we'll update his status again tomorrow.

Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy (ankle) is off the final injury report. He was added on Thursday and limited in practice but returned to a full workout on Friday. That ankle shouldn’t be an issue in this weekend’s tough draw against Denver’s top-ranked WR defense.

Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy was added to the injury report with an ankle and limited in practice on Thursday. Worthy dealt with an ankle injury in early October, although it's unclear if this is related. We'll look for further updates on his status and get Kansas City's final injury report tomorrow.

Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy (ankle, shoulder) did not practice on Thursday. That followed a full workout on Wednesday.

We'll see if he gets back on the practice field tomorrow and then how he's listed on the final injury report for Sunday night's game vs. the Lions.

Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy caught 6 of 8 targets for 42 yards in Monday's upset loss to the Jaguars. He entered the night questionable with a shoulder/ankle injury and briefly left this game in the third quarter.

Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy (shoulder, ankle) is active for tonight's game vs. the Jaguars. He was added to the injury report on Sunday after his ankle reportedly swelled up on the plane ride. It's still unclear when Worthy injured the ankle, but multiple reports suggest it won't be a major factor tonight. Worthy carries a bit more downside than he did 36 hours ago, but he remains the top fantasy play at WR in this game.

Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy is expected to play vs. the Jaguars tonight, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Worthy "turned his ankle a little bit, woke up swollen," per Rapoport, but was added to the injury report only as a precaution. We'll look for more info on Worthy leading up to kickoff, but he still projects as the top WR play in this game.

Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy (shoulder, ankle) has been downgraded to questionable for Monday night’s game vs. the Jaguars. We'll look for more details on his status, but fantasy managers hoping to use Worthy tomorrow night should add an insurance policy from that game. WRs JuJu Smith-Schuster and Tyquan Thornton would pick up extra work if Worthy is out. WR Dyami Brown is also an option.

Update: Per NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe, Worthy's ankle was "a little swollen" when he got off the plan in Jacksonville. "Chiefs put him on injury report as questionable as a precaution for now & will see how he feels tomorrow," Wolfe adds.

Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy returned from his shoulder injury with a bang. He ended the game with a team-leading eight targets. His final stat line of 5-83 was a solid fantasy day, despite not finding the end zone. He also had two runs for 38 yards including a 35-yard scamper. He did all this while playing limited snaps. Worthy’s 43 snaps ranked well below Juju Smith-Schuster who led the Chiefs’ WRs with 57 snaps. But Worthy’s presence seemed to ignite a Chiefs’ passing game that was dormant. QB Patrick Mahomes threw for 270 yards and 4 TDsin the game.

Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy (shoulder) put in a full week of practice and is not listed on the final injury report for Sunday’s game vs. the Ravens. He’ll likely be playing with a harness on his injured shoulder, and there’s a chance his snaps are limited. We’ll look for any information on Kansas City’s plans for Worthy in this game, but consider him a risk/reward WR3 for now.
