Kansas City Chiefs<\/a> WR Xavier Worthy<\/a> been ruled out for Sunday night’s game against the New York Giants<\/a> and is not traveling with the team.<\/p>\n

Worthy, recovering from a dislocated right shoulder suffered in the season opener, took a positive step Wednesday, practicing without restrictions. He was listed as a limited participant as a precaution. Unlike last week, Worthy was seen running routes during the open portion of practice without extra padding on his right arm.<\/p>\n

The Chiefs had been optimistic that Worthy would return for Sunday’s game wearing a harness.<\/p>\n

Worthy sustained the injury after colliding with tight end Travis Kelce<\/a>, who was running a crossing route in the opposite direction, on the third play of the Week 1 game against the Los Angeles Chargers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 0-2 Chiefs have struggled in part because Patrick Mahomes<\/a> is playing alongside a short-handed group of receivers. Rookie Jalen Royals<\/a> missed the first two games because of a right knee injury, while Rashee Rice<\/a>, Mahomes’ top receiver, is serving a six-game suspension for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kansas City Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy been ruled out for Sunday night’s game against the New York Giants…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":156918,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[559],"tags":[64,63,593,85],"class_list":["post-156917","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/156917","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=156917"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/156917\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/156918"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=156917"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=156917"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=156917"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
