However, when speaking to reporters on Monday, Kansas City coach Andy Reid provided a positive update regarding Worthy's status. Reid said he is day to day, hinting that Worthy won't be out for a significant time.

"#Chiefs coach Andy Reid describes Xavier Worthy as "day-to-day" talking to reporters, an indication that the plan is to rehab and attempt to play with a brace -- rather than immediate surgery. Some good news initially," NFL insider Ian Rapoport tweeted.
