Xavier Worthy

NFL.com’s James Palmer reports Xavier Worthy (hamstring) won’t be placed on the physically unable to perform list to open training camp.

Worthy will open camp with the Chiefs, but according to Palmer, the rookie receiver will “be eased back in.” Palmer said Worthy is healthy, but he isn’t expected to get “a ton of reps early.” Worthy was plagued by a hamstring injury for much of the spring, but it sounds like he’ll be coming along in the next few days/weeks. Worthy has a chance to contribute early and often to the Chiefs offense once he’s fully up to speed, and he would see his fantasy value rise significantly if Rashee Rice were suspended for his offseason legal troubles.
