The Kansas City Chiefs have a great opportunity to get over .500 and join the Los Angeles Chargers atop the division on Monday night when they travel to South Florida to face the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The Jaguars have hardly been a pushover under new head coach, Liam Coen, who has helped them to a 3-1 record to start the year, with wins over the Houston Texans, Tennessee Titans and otherwise unbeaten San Francisco 49ers.
Kansas City, despite going up against a tough opponent in Jacksonville, will be buoyed by the fact that a key part of their offense will play on Monday night, according to NFL Network reporter, Cameron Wolfe.
Xavier Worthy Expected To Play on Monday Night
“Xavier Worthy expected to play tonight despite dealing with some ankle swelling yesterday, per source.” Wolfe reported on Monday. The Chiefs will see how Worthy feels at stadium to confirm. But heâs expected to be good to go.”
The news was also corroborated by ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, via Nate Taylor.
Fowler noted that whilst Worthy had “a little ankle soreness” this past weekend, the team believes he will play on Monday.
Wolfe originally posted on Sunday that the team downgraded Worthy to questionable on Sunday due to some ankle swelling, with the intent to see how he felt on Monday.
By all accounts, it seems that he is feeling well enough to play.
