Overview

  • Worthy was a full participant Wednesday, then did not practice Thursday with shoulder and ankle injuries as he continues to play through a torn labrum from Week 1.
  • He returned to practice Friday, and Andy Reid said he "moved around good," leaving his status trending positive but not yet confirmed for Sunday night vs. the Lions.
  • The receiver played in Week 5 after being listed as questionable and logged six catches for 42 yards following a five-catch, 83-yard outing in Week 4.
  • If he is unavailable, Kansas City is expected to lean more on Marquise Brown, Tyquan Thornton and JuJu Smith-Schuster while Rashee Rice remains suspended through Week 6.
  • Newsweek reported Worthy was the only active Chief to miss Thursday’s session, and the 2-3 team hosts 4-1 Detroit on Sunday Night Football at Arrowhead Stadium.
