NFL history shows why Xavier Worthy might actually thrive with torn labrum

The Kansas City Chiefs got some surprising news last Sunday morning when they found out that second-year wide receiver Xavier Worthy, who suffered a torn labrum in his right shoulder on the opening series of Week 1, was “looking good” to play in Week 3 against the New York Giants

NFL reporter Ian Rapoport broke the news of Worthy's quicker-than-initially-expected return, saying that the Chiefs' former first-round choice would be playing with the injury using a supportive shoulder harness.

Worthy's trajectory was a positive one following early timetable concerns that he would sit for quite some time due to the shoulder issue.
