Chiefs Rule Out Worthy for Super Bowl Rematch vs Eagles

The Kansas City Chiefs will be without wide receiver Xavier Worthy for their upcoming Super Bowl LIX rematch against the Philadelphia Eagles due to a dislocated right shoulder sustained in Week 1. Despite Worthy returning to limited practice sessions and showing positive progress, head coach Andy Reid confirmed he was officially ruled out for the game, adding that there was only a slim chance he would play. Worthy's absence further strains the Chiefs' receiving corps, as top receiver Rashee Rice is serving a six-game suspension and rookie Jalen Royals is sidelined with a knee injury. Worthy, a 2024 first-round pick, had a standout rookie season, including a strong playoff performance and 59 receptions for 638 yards and six touchdowns last year. With Worthy and Rice out, wide receivers Marquise Brown, JuJu Smith-Schuster, and tight end Travis Kelce are expected to carry the offensive load against the Eagles. The Chiefs remain hopeful that Worthy will return as early as Week 3 against the New York Giants.
