Andy Reid didn't completely slam the door shut on Xavier Worthy playing Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles, but it's barely ajar.
"I'd probably tell you it's slim, but there's still a chance to play, yeah," the Chiefs coach said Friday. Kansas City officially listed him as doubtful to play.
Worthy played just three snaps in Week 1 before a collision with tight end Travis Kelce sidelined the speedster with a dislocated shoulder.
Reid's sliver of optimism is notable, but with Worthy limited in practice on Thursday and Friday, it would be a surprise to see him suit up in Sunday's Super Bowl rematch.
"He's doing very well, yeah. He's doing very well, so positive, all the stuff's positive," Reid said.
Worthy had a career-high 157 receiving yards and two touchdown receptions in the Super Bowl LIX loss to Philly.
With Worthy nursing an injury, rookie Jalen Royals ruled out and Rashee Rice suspended, Patrick Mahomes will have to manufacture yards with Kelce and a rag-tag receiver group, led by Hollywood Brown and JuJu Smith-Schuster.
On the other sideline, the Eagles will be without tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) and running back Will Shipley (oblique).
