Will Xavier Worthy play today? Status update for Chiefs WR in Week 1

Speedy wide receiver Xavier Worthy will play a major role in the Kansas City Chiefs ' offense this season, but his status for the team's matchup against the Denver Broncos on 'Monday Night Football' was called into question when he appeared on Andy Reid's injury report in Week 1.

Is Worthy expected to suit up for Kansas City 's home opener against the Broncos tonight?

Here is the latest update on Worthy's status:

A shoulder injury didn't stop Worthy from fully participating in all of Kansas City's practice sessions in Week 1.

Worthy wasn't assigned an official game status designation and will take the field as a starting wide receiver in the Chiefs' offense on 'Monday Night Football.'

If Kansas City finds itself without Worthy for any reason, Patrick Mahomes will look to target Jalen Royals , Cyrus Allen, and Nikko Remigio more in the air attack.
