KANSAS CITY, Mo. \u2014 If Chiefs coach Andy Reid knows whether receivers Xavier Worthy or Jalen Royals will be ready to take the field for Sunday Night Football at the New York Giants, he didn\u2019t give many clues in his Friday press conference.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know questions will be Xavier and so on, but I\u2019ve just got to see,\u201d Reid said. \u201cI mean, he practiced today and did a good job. Royals practiced today, both of them ran around pretty good. Anyways, we\u2019ll just see how it goes.\u201d<\/p>\n
Worthy has been out with a shoulder injury since the third play of the season after colliding with tight end Travis Kelce on a mesh route over the middle in Week 1 against the Chargers. Royals has been sidelined due to knee tendinitis since last playing in the team\u2019s preseason game at Seattle on Aug. 15. <\/p>\n
When asked if there was any hesitancy to put Worthy back on the field at risk of worsening his shoulder injury, Reid reiterated he would consult with Worthy and Rick Burkholder, the club\u2019s vice president of sports medicine<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m gonna just see, see how it goes here,\u201d Reid said. \u201cWe\u2019ve got to see in the next two days \u2014 I\u2019ve got to see how he did after practice here, I haven\u2019t talked to him. I haven\u2019t talked to Rick or him about it.<\/p>\n
\u201cI leave it up to the doctors and Rick and whatever they say,\u201d Reid added. \u201cWe\u2019ve practiced with them, we\u2019ve practiced without them, and that\u2019s how it goes. Whatever goes.\u201d<\/p>\n
There\u2019s no doubt the Chiefs offense could use an injection of depth and enthusiasm after playing a short bench the first two weeks of the season, relying primarily on Hollywood Brown, JuJu Smith-Schuster and Tyquan Thornton at receiver. Getting Worthy, Royals or both back in the lineup could provide a jolt the Chiefs\u2019 offense needs.<\/p>\n
\u201cBoth of them are good players,\u201d Reid said. \u201cIt helped that the other guys, I don\u2019t want to take anything away from the other guys either, they\u2019re doing a nice job.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Chiefs listed Patrick Mahomes on the injury report this week with a right wrist injury, yet he remained a full participant in practice each day. <\/p>\n
Reid said Mahomes suffered the injury sometime during Sunday\u2019s loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, and he woke up Monday with inflammation in his right wrist.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe couldn\u2019t even tell you what play it was, but it swelled up a little bit overnight, and they got it down,\u201d Reid. \u201cHe practiced the whole week, looked good.\u201d<\/p>\n
Defensive end Mike Danna and CB Kristian Fulton have been ruled out for Sunday\u2019s game at the Giants after exiting last week\u2019s loss to the Eagles. Danna is dealing with a quad injury, while Fulton suffered an ankle injury in the contest.<\/p>\n
Rookie defensive end Ashton Gillottee stepped in for Danna, playing 28 snaps while collecting three combined tackles, including bringing down running back Saquon Barkley for a 1-yard loss on the Eagles\u2019 opening drive.<\/p>\n
Rookie cornerback Nohl Williams stepped in for Fulton, who collected a tackle and an assist. In eight snaps, Fulton played six pass snaps and was targeted three times, breaking up deep passes intended for A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith and allowing one catch for 1 yard to Brown.<\/p>\n
