Xavier Worthy injury update: Chiefs say WR won't play in or travel to Giants game
A scuffling Kansas City Chiefs squad in search of its first win going into Week 3 of the 2025 NFL season will remain undermanned.
Dynamic wideout Xavier Worthy, who suffered a shoulder injury three snaps into the team's opener when he became collateral damage thanks to a poor route run by tight end Travis Kelce, will not return for Sunday night's nationally broadcast matchup with the New York Giants − who, like the reigning AFC champs, are also 0-2.
A Chiefs spokesman told USA TODAY Sports that Worthy will not play Sunday and won't even travel with the team to the New York area.

Worthy, a first-round pick in 2024 whose arrival to the team was celebrated by Kelce's famous fiancée, Taylor Swift, first earned national attention by running a scouting combine record 4.21-second 40-yard dash last year. He punctuated a so-so rookie season by catching eight passes for 157 yards and two touchdowns in the Chiefs' Super Bowl 59 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, who beat K.C. at Arrowhead Stadium in Week 2. Despite the impressive numbers, Worthy did most of his Super Sunday damage well after the game was decided.
