Absolutely.<\/p>\n<p>But as far as his status for the Philadelphia Eagles clash on Sunday? We aren&#8217;t too sure.<\/p>\n<p>Because doing individual drills is one thing, but taking big hits from linebackers who are coming for blood is another thing entirely.<\/p>\n<p>Still, the fact that Worthy can practice, even in a limited capacity, is a good sign.<\/p>\n<h2>Should Chiefs risk Worthy vs. Eagles?<\/h2>\n<p>This is the biggest question aimed at Reid and his coaching staff.<\/p>\n<p>We are in Week 2, and even if the Chiefs start 0-2, it won&#8217;t be the end of the world, but if Worthy plays, and hurts his shoulder even further, and it requires surgery? Yeah, that&#8217;s nightmare fuel.<\/p>\n<p>With Xavier practicing on Thursday, he will have a couple of days to get the shoulder as close to 100 percent as he can, but can Kansas City really carry a player who isn&#8217;t fully fit into a game of this magnitude?<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s why the coaching staff is paid the big dollars.<\/p>\n<p>Worthy practicing is good news, but should Kansas City risk its star offensive weapon?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Will Xavier Worthy be playing against the Philadelphia Eagles?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":32426,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-32425","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-kansas-city-chiefs"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>BREAKING : \ud83d\udd25 Should the Chiefs Gamble on Xavier Worthy in the Super Bowl Rematch?
