**Summary:**
Chiefs rookie wide receiver Xavier Worthy is out for Sunday night’s game against the Giants due to a dislocated shoulder suffered in Week 1. Despite showing improvement in practice this week, he won’t travel with the team.

The Chiefs, currently 0-2, are struggling with a lack of receiving options for Patrick Mahomes.
**News Article:**
**Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy Ruled Out Against Giants, Further Depleting Receiving Corps**
**KANSAS CITY, MO -** The Kansas City Chiefs will be without rookie wide receiver Xavier Worthy for Sunday night’s game against the New York Giants. The team announced that Worthy, who dislocated his right shoulder in the season opener against the Los Angeles Chargers, will not travel with the team.
The news comes as a blow to the already struggling Chiefs (0-2), who are facing challenges with their receiving corps. Worthy’s injury occurred on the third play of Week 1 when he collided with tight end Travis Kelce.
Despite showing positive signs earlier this week, participating in practice without restrictions on Wednesday, the team has opted to hold him out. The Chiefs had expressed optimism that Worthy might be able to play while wearing a harness.
Worthy’s absence adds to the team’s woes at wide receiver. Rookie Jalen Royals has missed the first two games with a right knee injury, and Rashee Rice, currently Patrick Mahomes’ top receiver, is serving a six-game suspension for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy.
With a significantly depleted group of receivers, Mahomes and the Chiefs offense will face a tough test against the Giants defense on Sunday night. The team will need to find ways to generate offense with their remaining receiving options.
