According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy (shoulder) is hoping to return next week when the Chiefs face the New York Giants. Rapoport noted that if Worthy can suit up, he would be playing with a torn labrum. However, the star wideout intends to wear a harness if he were to play. This week, Worthy was able to return to practice, which is an excellent sign that he is nearing a return. The second-year wideout suffered this injury during the opening possession of the first game of the season against the Chargers. As a rookie, Worthy flashed big-play upside in the Kansas City offense, totaling nine touchdowns with over 700 yards from scrimmage. This weekend, Marquise Brown and JuJu Smith-Schuster figure to lead the passing attack.
