Xavier Worthy playing today update is key for Chiefs vs. Colts in Week 12

The Kansas City Chiefs have a massive game in Week 12.

They take on the upstart Indianapolis Colts.

The Colts aren't far off the AFC's No. 1 seed, while the Chiefs are 5-5 and in at least slight danger of missing the playoffs.

Kansas City had injury doubts during the week, too, led by speedy wide receiver Xavier Worthy.

Thankfully for K.C. though, the news seems good.

Is Xavier Worthy playing today?

Yes, Xavier Worthy is supposed to play Sunday for the Chiefs against the Colts.

This is what NFL Network's Ian Rapoport posted on X late Saturday:

"#Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy, listed as questionable with an ankle injury, is expected to go Sunday, source said."

It's big news for Kansas City, which hasn't had its top WR duo of Worthy and Rashee Rice on the field at the same time very much this season.

Worthy's field-stretching ability can make life difficult on a defense and easier for Patrick Mahomes.

The Chiefs need to win Sunday. Worthy wouldn't miss this occasion.
