The Kansas City Chiefs have a lot of momentum heading into Monday Night Football against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and Co. are fresh off their best game of the season last week, crushing the Baltimore Ravens 37-20. Mahomes completed 25-of-37 passes for 270 yards, four touchdowns, and zero interceptions.
Kansas City’s offense got a major boost from wide receiver Xavier Worthy‘s return. After going down in Week 1 with a dislocated shoulder, Worthy recorded five receptions for 83 yards along with two carries for 38 yards against Baltimore.
Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy couldn’t overstate the importance of having Worthy back. “Just the ability to bring back that energy that maybe was missing a little bit, which is natural,” Nagy told reporters on Oct. 3.
“But the confidence, the energy. He was happy when he just ran out on the field in warmups. You could just see the big smile. He felt like a little kid being able to get out there and do what he loves. And that’s contagious. It’s contagious to everybody.”
Therefore, the Worthy’s sudden downgrade in status after the team landed in Jacksonville immediately turns heads. The Chiefs announced on Sunday evening, “Worthy (shoulder/ankle) is now questionable for Monday Night’s game.”
While this could be a huge blow to Kansas City’s offense ahead of their primetime showdown at EverBank Stadium, a new report on Worthy’s injury shed more light on his status.
