"Worthy had extra padding on his right arm and made several catches on short throws from pass game coordinator Joe Bleymaier and another team staffer. Even more impressive, Worthy joined his fellow receivers for a drill early in the individual portion of practice. The drill requires the receivers to execute skills other than speed -- quickness, soft hands and concentration. Each receiver runs a 5-yard hitch route that forces him to come back to the ball between two pop-up dummies."
"He suffered the injury after colliding with Travis Kelce, who was running a crossing route in the opposite direction, on the third play of the game against the Los Angeles Chargers. 'It's unfortunate how it happened,' offensive coordinator Matt Nagy said Thursday. 'Kelce feels terrible, but Xavier, of all people, understands that things happen. What we've got to do is be able to move on from that and adapt to that, adjusting to that whole situation.'"
Xavier Worthy participated in Kansas City Chiefs practice Thursday less than a week after dislocating his right shoulder. He wore extra padding on his right arm, caught several short throws from pass game coordinator Joe Bleymaier and joined his fellow receivers for an individual drill that tested quickness, soft hands and concentration. Offensive coordinator Matt Nagy said Kelce feels terrible about the collision but that Worthy understands things happen. Coach Andy Reid said Worthy did not need surgery and the team did not plan to place him on injured reserve. The Chiefs remain thin at receiver with Jalen Royals sidelined and Rashee Rice suspended.
