Overview
- Worthy left a Saturday training-camp drill after a hard fall while making a deep catch, but he walked off the field under his own power and did not show obvious severe distress.
- Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said on Monday that Worthy has a sprained shoulder and the team expects him to return to practice later in the week.
- Worthy had offseason shoulder surgery to repair a 2025 dislocation and wore a yellow non-contact jersey in OTAs while he rebuilt strength and expanded his route work.
- The timing comes as the Chiefs begin padded practices, a key evaluation point for contact readiness, and the team is also managing other minor camp injuries such as rookie Cyrus Allen’s bruised shin.
- Keeping Worthy healthy is central to Kansas City’s plan to revive its passing game because receiver durability was a major factor in the team’s 2025 collapse and his deep-play ability pairs directly with Patrick Mahomes’ recovery.
