KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- In a surprising twist, Kansas City Chiefs speedy receiver Xavier Worthy participated in practice Thursday, less than a week after he sustained a dislocated right shoulder.
Worthy had extra padding on his right arm and made several catches on short throws from pass game coordinator Joe Bleymaier and another team staffer. Even more impressive, Worthy joined his fellow receivers for a drill early in the individual portion of practice.
The drill requires the receivers to execute skills other than speed -- quickness, soft hands and concentration. Each receiver runs a 5-yard hitch route that forces him to come back to the ball between two pop-up dummies.
