Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy and Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely are both set to play during Sunday's matchup between the teams.

Worthy will be returning to the field for the first time since dislocating his shoulder in Week 1 against the Los Angeles Chargers

"He was running fast," said Chiefs head coach Andy Reid regarding Worthy during practice this week. "We didn't worry about his legs, right? It was an upper-body injury, so he's been able to keep himself in good shape and ready to go."

The two-year receiver put up 638 yards and six touchdowns on  59 receptions last season for the Chiefs while also posting 104 yards and three touchdowns on the ground. 

Likely, who has missed the first three weeks of the season after receiving foot surgery back in July, could make his 2025 season debut. Despite being a full participant in practice this week, head coach John Harbaugh is still hesitant about playing Likely Sunday. 

"It depends on what's best for us and the team in terms of, we'll watch the tape, see how his numbers look," said Harbaugh. "It's going to be a tough environment. He has practiced one week, but he looked really good. So is he ready to go in there, in this game against those guys, and play at the top, top level and help us win the game? Or is somebody else more well-suited?"

"But he could do it, looks good to me. We'll just have to see if it's the best thing for us on Sunday. We haven't really decided that yet."

Like had 42 receptions for 477 yards and six touchdowns in 16 games last season for the Ravens, being their No. 2 guy behind the veteran Mark Andrews - who's coming off a 6-91-2 game for the Ravens, his best game of the year so far. 

The Baltimore Ravens hit the road as they take on the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday at 4:25 p.m. Eastern (22:25 CET).
