Worthy (illness) missed a third straight practice Wednesday, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.
Worthy landed in an ideal spot for immediate fantasy value when the Chiefs drafted him with the 28th overall pick in the draft this April, but he hasn't actually had many chances to catch passes from Patrick Mahomes. He missed most of the offseason program with a hamstring injury, and now has been out for a trio of of training-camp practices due to the illness. Worthy still has plenty of time to earn a top-three role at wide receiver, and the competition doesn't look all that tough beyond Rashee Rice and Hollywood Brown. Moreover, Justin Watson was carted off the field at Wednesday's practice, leaving Worthy, Kadarius Toney, Skyy Moore, Mecole Hardman, Nikko Remigio and Justyn Ross as the leading candidates for first-team reps alongside Rice and Brown.
