Wide receiver Xavier Worthy is the Kansas City Chiefs' top wide receiver this year, so it's not ideal to see him off to a slow start in the Week 5 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Monday night.
Worthy wasn't even certain to play after he was a late addition to this injury report on Sunday evening due to ankle and shoulder injuries, but the Chiefs wideout was ultimately able to play.
However, he has been nowhere to be found early on against the Jaguars on Monday night. Here's a look at what's going on.
Is Xavier Worthy playing tonight?
UPDATE: Worthy got a target in the end zone but was unable to get both feet in.
Hey, at least he's on the board with a target.
END OF UPDATE
Yes, Worthy is officially active on Monday night, he just wasn't involved on Kansas City's first drive, even though quarterback Patrick Mahomes did a lot of throwing.
Mahomes attempted six passes, completing five. Tyquan Thornton, Travis Kelce, Hollywood Brown and Isiah Pacheco all received targets and had at least one reception on the series.
We'll see if Worthy gets involved in drive No. 2.
