0:00.0	Xavier Worthy has a dislocated shoulder and he's getting a second opinion.
0:04.9	What will he be back for and when today on Locked on Chiefs?
0:10.2	From the land of the three and the home of the Chiefs, this is the Locked on Chiefs podcast.
0:18.8	Welcome in Chiefs, Kingdom. Thanks for making us your first listen here on the Locked On Podcast Network. Your team every single day. We appreciate you and you every dayers are the reason that we get this done. So become one of them yourselves. Get subscribed here on YouTube and everywhere else. We have a ton to go over. Thanks for being here along this. I don't know it's been a kind of a tough weekend,
0:38.7	but we very much appreciate you. And you can find us here five days a week. We are the original
0:45.6	Lockdown Chiefs team. There's never been another one. This is Chris Clark from Casey Chiefs Corner.
0:49.0	I'm Ryan Tracy from NFL 33, RGR football and rogue analytics. We're going to run it down for you. News Sunday came out
0:56.5	that Xavier Worthy had a dislocated shoulder. We'll go over some of the details there. Then we're
1:04.4	going to have to come back. And we're going to talk about are there fixes in-house? What can they do
1:09.4	in the meantime without Xavier around the field?
1:12.0	And does it get to the point that they have to make a move?
1:14.6	That's coming up later in the show, but we start.
1:17.1	I theorize that it looked like from the exam on the sideline, that it could be an AC strain
1:22.6	on a separated shoulder.
1:24.5	Unfortunately, it's come back that it's a little bit farther along than that.
1:27.7	A dislocation is the next level up from a mild separation or AC strain. It means that there
1:33.7	could be some ligamentous damage that needs to be repaired surgically. If that's the case,
1:37.7	it's a much longer prognosis. If it's a dislocation that gets reduced and put back in there,
1:43.0	you could see a timeline in the six-weekish range. None of us know what that gets reduced and put back in there, you could see a timeline in the six
1:44.8	weekish range. None of us know what that is, and that's why the second opinion is so important.
1:50.1	I am actually a little bit concerned by the fact you have to go get a second opinion.
1:53.7	How did you take the news today? I mean, it's positive that there's hope that he can come back.
