Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy ruled out vs. Giants with shoulder injury
- The Kansas City Chiefs have confirmed that wide receiver Xavier Worthy will miss Sunday night's nationally televised matchup versus the New York Giants due to a lingering shoulder injury.
- Worthy suffered a dislocated right shoulder in the season opener in São Paulo after colliding with teammate Travis Kelce and missed the home opener on September 14.
- Although Worthy practiced without restrictions this week and ran routes without extra padding, the Chiefs confirmed Saturday morning he would not travel or play on Sunday.
- The Chiefs are 0-2 and also missing suspended top receiver Rashee Rice, who faces a six-game ban for violating the NFL's conduct policy, complicating the offense led by Patrick Mahomes.
- The absence of Worthy and Rice leaves the Chiefs with a depleted receiver corps as they seek their first win in Week 3 against the 0-2 Giants in a game starting at 7:20 p.m. on KSHB 41.
