What happened

Xavier Worthy sat out Monday's practice after suffering a shoulder sprain during Saturday's session. Andy Reid confirmed the diagnosis and said Worthy, along with rookie Cyrus Allen (shin bone bruise), should be back later in the week once swelling subsides.

Fantasy impact

Worthy's absence is expected to be brief and does not change his projected role as a deep threat behind Rashee Rice. Managers can hold him with confidence in standard and best-ball formats. Monitor Wednesday or Thursday practice reports for his return to full participation.
