Chiefs Expect Xavier Worthy to Play Despite Injury Ahead Week 5 Jaguars Game

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy is expected to play in the Week 5 Monday Night Football game against the Jacksonville Jaguars despite dealing with ankle swelling and managing a shoulder injury. Worthy was downgraded to questionable due to these issues but has been participating fully in practice and is anticipated to be ready by game time. His return is significant as he has been a key offensive contributor, with notable performances including 83 receiving yards against the Baltimore Ravens and setting a rookie Super Bowl receiving yards record last season. In addition to Worthy, other players like defensive tackle Omarr Norman-Lott and cornerback Kristian Fulton are also questionable due to injuries. The Chiefs aim to build on their recent victories and improve their season record against a strong Jaguars team. Fans and fantasy managers are advised to confirm Worthy's status closer to kickoff, but the overall outlook is positive for his participation.
