Xavier Worthy found his way onto the Kansas City Chiefs’ injury report ahead of the Monday Night Football showdown with the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Quarterback Patrick Mahomes has had to deal with a rotating cast of receivers as injuries and suspensions take their toll.

Per NFL Network’s Cameron Wolfe, Worthy’s ankle was ‘a little swollen getting off the plane’ when Kansas City touched down in Florida on Sunday.

His report claimed that Worthy — Taylor Swift’s second-favourite Chiefs pass-catcher — had been listed as questionable ‘as a precaution for now’ with a further update expected on Monday.

Sports Illustrated’s Matt Verderame says the Chiefs are ‘hopeful he’ll be able to go.’

Worthy has only played in two games this season, but managed five catches for 83 yards and two carries for another 38 on the ground in a Week 4 victory over the Baltimore Ravens.

Mahomes has been without rookie Jalen Royals, who wasn’t targeted on his debut in Week 5, for much of the season, and No.1 receiver Rashee Rice is serving a six-game suspension.

After Rice suffered a season-ending injury in 2024, Worthy stepped up and managed 638 yards and six touchdowns as a rookie.

The first-round speedster being available would be a huge boost for Mahomes and head coach Andy Reid against Jacksonville.

Monday Night Football weather forecast benefits Jaguars over Chiefs

If Worthy can suit up, however, the conditions may not be favorable.

Heavy rain has soaked the field in Jacksonville, and Chiefs cornerback Trent McDuffie thinks defenses will flourish.

“I say advantage defense,” he said Saturday. “We love it when it’s bad weather and the receivers can’t get out of their breaks fast enough.

“And O-linemen kind of have to play on a little more even surface. But whatever it is, rain, shine, snow, we’re ready to go.”

The rain is predicted to clear the area by kickoff, but the field will be sodden.

Reid fears that wet conditions will suit the Jaguars, who lead the NFL in takeaways (13), interceptions (nine) and turnover margin (plus-nine).

The Chiefs have the joint-fewest turnovers with just one.

“Really comes down to the guys doing it,” Reid said Thursday on his team protecting the football. “And the guys have done a nice job keeping it high and tight when needed, and not having tipped balls. All the things that kind of lead to those.

“And then, this is a potential weather game, so you add that into it, too. You got to make sure that you really take care of the football.”

Special teams coordinator Dave Toub backed returner Nikko Remigio and kicker Harrison Butker to handle the conditions.

“Yeah, we talked about that today,” he said Friday. “We’re not going to wet the balls or anything like that.

“But we talked about it, and we say that if it is raining or the wind and those things, we’re going to take that into factor.

“With our return game, we talked about that this morning. … We’re experienced.

“I think we got enough experienced guys that we’ll be able to handle it. And we practice in the rain out here, too.”

Jaguars head coach Liam Coen lost an overtime thriller 30-24 to the Chiefs while the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ offensive coordinator last season and will now hope to go one better in his new home.
