Chiefs' Worthy doubtful for SB rematch vs. Eagles

With Xavier Worthy listed doubtful, the Chiefs’ receiving depth is thinner and the offense may lean more on the run and Travis Kelce. Bettors should consider trimming exposure to Kansas City passing-yard totals and receiver props—look at unders for Chiefs team passing yards or Worthy-specific receiving props, while the Eagles’ spread could become slightly more attractive.

Xavier Worthy Listed Doubtful Ahead of Super Bowl Rematch vs. Eagles

Following the Chiefs’ final practice of the week, rookie receiver Xavier Worthy was listed as doubtful for Sunday’s Super Bowl rematch against the Philadelphia Eagles as he continues to recover from a dislocated right shoulder.

Injury Timeline and Practice Progress

Worthy made encouraging strides this week, participating in back-to-back practices and catching passes in a limited capacity on Friday. He has been seen wearing extra padding over the right shoulder, the site of the injury sustained on the third play of Kansas City’s Week 1 loss after a collision with teammate Travis Kelce.

Coach’s Assessment

Coach Andy Reid offered a cautious update, saying there was a slim chance Worthy would suit up Sunday but noting the receiver “did a little bit of team work, but that was it” and that “he’s doing very well.” Reid added Worthy could perform additional drills closer to game time as part of the recovery process.

Receiving Depth and Roster Impact

The Chiefs already face depleted receiving depth: rookie Jalen Royals is out for Sunday with a right knee injury, and top target Rashee Rice is serving a six-game suspension. If Worthy cannot play, Kansas City will rely more heavily on remaining pass-catchers and schematic adjustments.

Outlook and Return Timeline

If Worthy sits out the rematch, the team remains optimistic about his short-term recovery window, targeting a potential return as soon as Week 3 against the New York Giants. Coaches and trainers will continue to monitor his progress in the coming days.
