The Kansas City Chiefs didn’t appear to be in the best of shape post the Los Angeles Chargers loss, with receiver Xavier Worthy dislocating his shoulder just a handful of plays into the contest.<\/p>\n

With Worthy ruled out, many looked to the long-term for the speed merchant, as there was a real thought he could miss a significant chunk of the season with his injury, and for a Chiefs team needing all their weapons available, this was less than ideal.<\/p>\n

But the football gods, while initially looking to play a cruel prank on the Kansas City offense, might have just given the roster a little bit of a reprieve when it comes to Worthy’s injury and his status for Week 2 against the Philadelphia Eagles.<\/p>\n

Head coach Andy Reid spoke on Xavier’s shoulder injury, and it will come as quite a sense of relief for Chiefs Kingdom.<\/p>\n

“I know Xavier is the big question,” Reid said via Chiefs team report Matt McMullen. “He’s rehabbing and working his shoulder. We’ll just see where it goes, day-by-day here. We’ll see where we end up.”<\/p>\n

For Worthy to be “just” day by day is a huge thing for the Chiefs, who saw a host of their receivers miss big chunks of time last season, and already without Rashee Rice due to his suspension, having Worthy back soon is huge.<\/p>\n

When could Xavier Worthy return?<\/h2>\n

The simple fact that Worthy is day-to-day suggests Kansas City isn’t ruling out its receiver for Week 2, but a dislocated shoulder can be a problematic thing to deal with.<\/p>\n

Would the Chiefs rush Worthy back in an attempt not to start the season 0-2 and potentially risk having him less than 100 percent? We don’t see it, but then again, it does feel like gut-check time for the AFC champs right now.<\/p>\n

Worthy is listed as day to day, but how much the Chiefs push his return over the next few days will be telling.<\/p>\n

Yes, Kansas City caught a break with his injury, but will the franchise rush him back?<\/p>\n
