Xavier WorthyWRKC

Worthy underwent shoulder surgery in the offseason after a disappointing sophomore season marred by shoulder injury; he was limited to a yellow non-contact jersey during OTAs but has returned to full participation in training camp. Worthy stated he was never 100% healthy last season and needed the surgery to build muscle mass and strengthen his shoulder. Early camp reports show him catching tough downfield passes from Mahomes with no apparent bracing or guarding after a Saturday practice, suggesting the surgical shoulder is responding well to activity.

Last year I was never 100%. I was never going to be 100% until I got the surgery. So I got the surgery, been working on it, building muscle mass, obviously working at it in the offseason, getting stronger and obviously building that shoulder back.
