"Coach Andy Reid describes Xavier Worthy as 'day-to-day' on Sports Radio 810, an indication that the plan is to rehab and attempt to play with a brace — rather than immediate surgery," Rapoport reported. "Some good news initially."

Worthy is reportedly seeking a second opinion before the Chiefs set a timetable for his potential return per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
"Chiefs, in Brazil, not only suffered a tough loss to those Los Angeles Chargers, but also likely lost one of their top weapons, at least for a period of time, my understanding is Xavier Worthy, the electric receiver, who suffered a dislocated shoulder," Rapoport reported. "It is unclear as of right now, how much time he's gonna miss, still soliciting a second opinion. I'm told the most likely option is for him to be able to brace it up and return this season.
"However, tests pending and surgery is still, as of right now, an option," Rapoport concluded.
After opening the 2025 NFL season in Brazil, the Chiefs returned to the States to host the Eagles in Week 2's matchup on Sunday.
