Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy is set to return for Sunday’s home game against the Baltimore Ravens.
Worthy has been out since he sustained a shoulder injury on the third snap of the season when he collided with teammate Travis Kelce.
Worthy was a limited participant in practice last week and did not play in last Sunday’s victory over the New York Giants. He did not have a designation on Kansas City’s final injury report Friday.
“He was running fast,” Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said about Worthy’s participation in practice this week. “We didn’t worry about his legs, right? It was an upper-body injury, so he’s been able to keep himself in good shape and ready to go.”
A first-round draft pick out of Texas last year, Worthy, 22, had 59 receptions for 638 yards and six touchdowns for the Chiefs. He also ran the ball 20 times for 104 yards and three TDs.
In three playoff games last season, Worthy had 19 receptions for 287 yards with three TDs, including two in the Super Bowl against the Eagles on eight receptions for 157 yards.
The Chiefs fell 40-22 in Super Bowl LIX at New Orleans.
Chiefs defensive lineman Ashton Gillotte (elbow) did not practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday. Defensive end Mike Danna (quad) is listed as doubtful, while cornerback Kristian Fulton (ankle) is questionable after both were limited Friday.
