Xavier Worthy’s current injury designation is shown in the live status box above, which updates automatically from the official NFL injury report. He had labrum surgery in January 2026 to repair a shoulder dislocated in 2025 and re-aggravated it in camp on Aug. 1 before being cleared for contact, per CBS Sports.
Through Weeks 1 and 2, Worthy led Kansas City receivers in routes (76) and target share (19.12%), per SI, and played 69 snaps in Week 2. The production lagged, though: 8 catches for 43 yards and a touchdown over those two games.
Fantasy Action: Worthy injured his hamstring in Kansas City’s Week 9 win over the Jets and was ruled out, per NFL.com. Check his practice status before the Week 10 game at Atlanta and keep him on your bench until he is cleared; when healthy he is a WR3/flex whose role outpaces his output.
