- Mike Danna and Kristian Fulton expected to rejoin practice after missed week
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy is making progress and could be trending in the right direction to return to the lineup on Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens.
“We’ll just evaluate him,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said Wednesday. “(We’ll) take it day by day, but he feels good, so we’ll see.”
After injuring his shoulder in the Chiefs’ season opener against the Los Angeles Chargers in Brazil, Worthy surprisingly resumed practice on Thursday, Sept. 11. He has been listed as a “limited” participant in all five workouts in which he has participated since then.
Reid confirmed he is optimistic about a potential comeback for Worthy on Sunday at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium, and the team listed him as a “full” participant in Wednesday’s practice.
Other injuries we’re tracking
Fellow receiver Jalen Royals was available to play in Week 3 against the New York Giants, but he did not take a snap as he continues to work through tendinitis in his knee.
Royals will continue to practice on Wednesday, Reid said.
“I had him there as kind of an emergency just in case we absolutely needed him,” Reid said during his Zoom news conference on Monday. “His first week of practice in a month was last week, and he’s a rookie and so on.
“So this was really his first game of suiting up, and you can figure out the rest of it. He’ll continue to work in there. It’s great to have him back.”
Defensive end Mike Danna (hip) and cornerback Kristian Fulton (ankle) suffered injuries in Kansas City’s Week 2 game against the Philadelphia Eagles. After missing practice all of last week, both Danna and Fulton were held out of last weekend’s “Sunday Night Football” game against the Giants.
Both Danna and Fulton were expected to be back at practice on Wednesday. On Wednesday’s injury report, released later in the afternoon, Royals was listed as a “full” participant while Danna and Fulton were both “limited.”
