Daryl Worley Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Broncos vs Commanders game on Nov 30, 2025 with our National Football League injury report.Aug 26, 2025
Cut by Washington
Worley was released by the Commanders on Tuesday, Zach Selby of the team's official website reports.
ANALYSIS
Worley played in two preseason contests with Washington, recording eight total tackles (three solo), while also adding a forced fumble. The safety played in nine regular-season games with the Titans in 2024, and he likely won't have to wait long for another suitor.
Aug 14, 2025
Signs with Commanders
Worley signed with the Commanders on Thursday, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official team site reports.
ANALYSIS
Worley has found a new home for the 11th time in his career, adding a veteran presence to Washington's training camp roster. The 30-year-old has appeared in 99 games with 64 starts, and spent last season with Tennessee, where he tallied 52 tackles and one interception. He will look to crack yet another 53-man roster in what will be a shortened training camp and preseason.
Feb 6, 2025
Headed for free agency
Worley racked up 52 tackles (28 solo), two passes defensed, including one interception, and one forced fumble across nine regular-season appearances with the Titans in 2024.
ANALYSIS
Worley emerged as an every-down contributor on defense for Tennessee upon signing with the team mid-season, but he's now slated to become an unrestricted free agent in March, at the start of the new league year. The Titans could be motivated to re-sign the soon-to-be 30-year-old veteran, given that he's demonstrated his ability to fit into the team's defensive scheme.
Dec 30, 2024
Tallies seven tackles vs. Jags
Worley finished Sunday's 20-13 loss to Jacksonville with seven tackles (four solo).
ANALYSIS
Worley finished Sunday's game as the Titans' second-leading tackler behind Luke Gifford and Mike Brown (eight each). Worley has started at free safety in each of the Titans' last six games, and over that span he has accumulated 44 tackles (24 solo) and two pass defenses (including one interception). He'll look to finish 2024 off strong against a Texans team next Sunday that is locked into the No. 4 seed in the AFC and will likely be resting its starters.
Dec 19, 2024
Past calf injury
Worley (calf) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Worley was held out of Wednesday's practice due to a calf injury, but it doesn't appear to be serious issue as he was able to participate in Thursday's session without limitations. Barring a setback, Worley should be able to suit up against the Colts on Sunday.
Dec 18, 2024
Sustains calf injury
Worley (calf) didn't practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The veteran safety from West Virginia had one of his best games this season in Sunday's loss to the Bengals, registering five total tackles while intercepting Joe Burrow in the third quarter. However, it appears Worley picked up a calf injury in the process. If he cannot upgrade to at least limited practice participation Thursday or Friday, expect Mike Brown to serve as the Titans' top free safety in the Week 16 matchup against the Colts.
Dec 17, 2024
Picks off Burrow in Week 15 loss
Worley registered five solo tackles and an interception during Sunday's 37-27 loss to Cincinnati.
ANALYSIS
Worley logged his first interception since the 2019 regular season Sunday as he picked off a deep pass from Joe Burrow that was intended for Ja'Marr Chase midway through the third quarter. Since signing with the Titans in early November, Worley has started at free safety in each of the last four games and has accumulated 32 tackles (19 solo) and two pass defenses (including one interception) over that span.
Dec 3, 2024
Leading tackler in loss
Worley logged 17 tackles (eight solo) during the Titans' loss to the Commanders on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Worley had his best outing of the season since joining the Titans last month as his 17 tackles were the most on the team. The 29-year-old seemingly has beat out Mike Brown to replace Quandre Diggs (foot) as the team's starting safety.
Jul 22, 2024
Inks new deal with Baltimore
The Ravens agreed to terms with Worley (shoulder) on Monday, Ryan Mink of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The ninth-year veteran finished last season on the Ravens' injured reserve list due to a shoulder injury, but it now seems as if he's moved past the issue. Worley transitioned from cornerback to safety last year, recording 12 total tackles while playing primarily on special teams (239 snaps). He's expected to contribute as both a special-teamer and a rotational safety heading into Baltimore's 2024 campaign.
Jan 5, 2024
Goes to IR
Baltimore placed Worley (shoulder) on its injured reserve list Friday.
ANALYSIS
Since the Ravens can only play a maximum of four more games, the move will end Worley's season. In a corresponding transaction, Baltimore signed linebacker Jeremiah Moon to its 53-man roster.
Jan 4, 2024
Sidelined for Week 18
Worley (shoulder) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Steelers.
ANALYSIS
Worley suffered a stinger in the Ravens' win over the Dolphins on Sunday that will now keep him out of the team's regular-season finale. With Baltimore already securing a bye in the first round of the playoffs, the veteran safety will get an extra week to recover before having a chance to suit up again.
Dec 31, 2023
Leaves Week 17 game with stinger
Worley suffered a neck stinger in Sunday's contest versus Miami and is questionable to return.
ANALYSIS
Worley was injured in the second half and subsequently headed to the locker room. His exit is another blow to a Ravens secondary that was already without Kyle Hamilton (knee) and Brandon Stephens (ankle) for the contest and saw Marlon Humphrey ruled out from returning after hurting his calf in the first quarter. However, Baltimore is leading Miami by multiple scores in the fourth quarter, which softens the impact of the depleted defensive backfield considerably.
Nov 14, 2023
Upgraded to full Tuesday
Worley (hamstring) was upgraded to full practice Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Worley played just 25 special teams snaps in Week 10's loss to the Browns. He previously missed four games on injured reserve with a shoulder issue. Worley looks to be ready to go for Thursday night against the Bengals.
Nov 4, 2023
Activated off IR
Worley (shoulder) was activated off injured reserve Saturday.
ANALYSIS
The 28-year-old safety is in line to make his first appearance since the Ravens' Week 4 win over the Browns this Sunday. Worley started two of Baltimore's first four games before suffering his shoulder injury, recording seven total tackles and one pass deflection.
Nov 1, 2023
Set to return from IR
Worley (shoulder) will rejoin the Ravens for practice Wednesday, opening a 21-day window for his return from injured reserve.
ANALYSIS
Worley was placed on IR on Oct. 7 after sustaining a shoulder injury in Week 4. He filled in as a rotational safety in the Ravens' secondary behind Kyle Hamilton and Marcus Williams (hamstring) and figures to resume that role once he's activated off injured reserve.
Oct 7, 2023
Heads to IR
Worley (shoulder) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Dale Lolley of the Steelers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Worley suffered a shoulder injury during Baltimore's Week 4 win over Cleveland and was held out of practice the entire week, so it's no surprise that he's been placed on IR. Geno Stone will likely receive more opportunities as a rotational safety in the Ravens' secondary going forward.
Oct 6, 2023
Won't play at Pittsburgh
Worley (shoulder) is listed as out for Sunday's game at the Steelers, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
ANALYSIS
After missing practice the entire week with a shoulder injury he sustained in Week 4 at Cleveland, Worley will now have to sit out at least one full game as he recovers. His absence clears the path for Geno Stone to rotate in for a few snaps at safety in Week 5.
Oct 4, 2023
Remaining sidelined
Worley (shoulder) was unable to practice Wednesday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Worley exited the team's win over the Browns early with the injury and was unable to return. The 28-year-old has been operating as a depth option at safety while Marcus Williams (pectoral) has been out, and he'll try to get back on the practice field Thursday.
Oct 1, 2023
Will not return
Worley (shoulder) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Browns.
ANALYSIS
Worley had a pass breakup before exiting and was operating under a limited role at safety behind Kyle Hamilton and Geno Stone. With his inability to return, it will leave just two at safety for the Ravens with Marcus Williams (pectoral) still out.
Oct 1, 2023
Exits with shoulder injury
Worley (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup with the Browns, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Worley suffered a shoulder injury and it's unclear if he'll be able to return to the field versus Cleveland. The safety was operating in a limited role behind Kyle Hamilton this week, so his absence doesn't carry as much of an impact.
Jan 7, 2023
Officially activated
Worley (hamstring) was activated from injured reserve Saturday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Worley has bounced on and off the Ravens' roster throughout the season, but he last suited up in Week 13. He has played almost exclusively on special teams during the campaign and managed three total tackles across seven games.
Jan 4, 2023
Designated to return from IR
Worley (hamstring) was designated to return from injured reserve and will return to practice Wednesday, Clifton Brown of the Ravens' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Worley has been on injured reserve since Dec. 10 with a hamstring injury, but he'll return to practice Wednesday, which will open a 21-day window for him to be added to the active roster. The 2016 third-round pick has played primarily on special teams for the Ravens this year, totaling three tackles across seven games.
Dec 10, 2022
Goes onto IR
Baltimore placed Worley (hamstring) on its injured reserve list Saturday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Worley will be forced to miss at least the Ravens' next four games as he recovers from a hamstring injury. In the meantime, Baltimore will have to try to find a way to replace his special teams production.
Dec 9, 2022
Out with hamstring injury
Worley (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against Pittsburgh.
ANALYSIS
Worley played 18 special teams snaps in Week 13 but presumably picked up a hamstring injury as well. The veteran cornerback was unable to practice during Week 14 prep, so it's not surprising to see him ruled out. He's seen just six defensive snaps over seven appearances, so his absence shouldn't impact the Ravens' secondary.
Oct 11, 2022
Waived again
Worley was released by the Ravens Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
This is Worley's second stint with the Ravens this season and appeared in two of the team's games. The 27-year-old played five snaps on defense, nine on special teams and logged one tackle during his two games. The cornerback will look join another team's practice squad.
Sep 27, 2022
Cut loose by Ravens
Worley was released by Baltimore on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Worley appeared in the one game for the Ravens this season, which was their Week 2 contest against the Dolphins. He played just five snaps on defense and four on special teams, while not tallying any stats. He'll now work to find a new opportunity.
Oct 26, 2021
Cut by Lions
Worley was released by the Lions on Tuesday, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old struggled Sunday against the Rams, particularly while matched up with Cooper Kupp. In three games for Detroit, he made two tackles while playing 35 total snaps on defense. The cornerback will look to find another opportunity with a new squad.
Sep 22, 2021
Signed to active roster
The Lions signed Worley from their practice squad to their active roster Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Worley may be thrust into action early as the Lions are without Jeff Okudah (Achilles) for the season and recently placed Ifeatu Melifonwu (thigh) on IR. The 26-year-old spent time with Buffalo, Dallas and Las Vegas last season. He saw the most action as a member of Cowboys, where he appeared in seven contests and registered 14 tackles and one pass deflection.
Sep 15, 2021
Joins Detroit practice squad
Worley has signed a deal to join the Lions' practice squad.
ANALYSIS
Worley is not expected to play right away, but there's a good chance he earns playing time down the road now that starting cornerback Jeff Okudah is done for the season. Until Worley is elevated from the practice squad, expect the 26-year-old to fill a depth role for the Lions' secondary.
Sep 1, 2021
Released by Arizona
The Cardinals cut Worley on Tuesday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official website reports.
ANALYSIS
Worley spent the 2020 campaign bouncing between Buffalo, Dallas and Las Vegas. The 26-year-old has played 10-plus games in all five of his NFL seasons and will likely garner interest from teams in search of a veteran depth presence in their secondary.
Jul 27, 2021
Signs with Arizona
Worley signed with the Arizona Cardinals on Monday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Worley spent time with the Bills, Cowboys and Raiders last year. The 26-year-old safety has played in 10-plus games in all five of his NFL seasons and will give Arizona's defense some depth before training camp begins.
Dec 31, 2020
Lifted from COVID-19 list
Worley was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Worley will return to the lineup after missing last week's game against Miami. He should be in the lineup for the season finale against the Broncos, and he could be due for a solid workload if Erik Harris isn't back from the COVID-19 list.
Dec 18, 2020
Moves to COVID-19 list
Worley was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday, Adam Hill of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
ANALYSIS
Worley played in Thursday's loss to the Chargers, posting seven tackles and a pass breakup over 37 snaps (56 percent). Since then, he either tested positive for the virus or came into close contact with an infected person. Worley will need to clear COVID-19 protocols in order to play in next Saturday's game against the Dolphins.
Dec 9, 2020
Signing with Raiders
Worley (undisclosed) is expected to sign with the Raiders, Jerry McDonald of The Oakland Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Worley has to pass a COVID-19 screening before he can officially sign with the Raiders. The cornerback spent the last two seasons with the Raiders before logging short stints with the Bills and Cowboys this year.
Oct 28, 2020
Dropped by Cowboys
The Cowboys released Worley on Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Worley started four games for the Cowboys this season and suited up in all seven contests, but he's struggled immensely in coverage. The 2016 third-round pick allowed a 154.4 passer rating and three touchdowns when targeted this year. The Cowboys are cutting him loose, and Worley will look for his fourth team in five years.
Aug 25, 2020
Working in at safety
Worley has taken reps at safety as well as cornerback during training camp, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
Worley is reportedly not the only player bouncing between positions, so it'll be interesting to see where he ends up when Week 1 begins. Since this is Worley's first season with the Cowboys, it's not surprising that he's flexible with where he plays and especially because the secondary has likely already locked in its starters.
Apr 29, 2020
Inks deal with Dallas
Worley has agreed to terms with the Cowboys, Todd Archer and Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com report.
ANALYSIS
A third-round pick of the Panthers in 2016, Worley spent the last two seasons with the Raiders and recorded 91 tackles (81 solo) over 25 games with two interceptions and 15 passes defended. Dallas' cornerback group is suddenly very crowded even after losing Byron Jones in free agency, as Worley, Chidobe Awuzie, Jourdan Lewis, Anthony Brown and 2020 draft picks Trevon Diggs and Reggie Robinson will all be in the hunt for snaps, but Worley's experience playing safety last year for Oakland gives him another path to playing time.
Jan 27, 2020
Registers 58 tackles in 2019
Worley posted 58 tackles, eight pass breakups and an interception over 15 games in 2019.
ANALYSIS
Worley could use some work in coverage, as he allowed 8.3 yards per target and five touchdowns. The 24-year-old played under a one-year contract for the second straight season, and he's set to be an unrestricted free agent in March. If the Raiders decide to re-sign him, Worley will likely face some competition via free agency or the draft.
Dec 20, 2019
Fully practices Friday
Worley (neck) does not have an injury tag for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Worley upgraded to a full practice Friday after two limited sessions earlier in the week. He'll return after missing just one game.
Nov 6, 2019
Ready to rock
Worley (ankle) won't carry an injury designation into Thursday's game against the Chargers.
ANALYSIS
Worley underwent an MRI following Sunday's win against the Lions, and it appears he's in the clear after two days of limited practice. The fourth-year pro will start opposite rookie Trayvon Mullen and work to shut down Keenan Allen and Mike Williams.
Nov 4, 2019
No practice Monday
Worley (ankle) did not participate in Monday's estimated practice.
ANALYSIS
Worley is dealing with a left ankle injury suffered during Sunday's win over the Lions. He underwent an MRI on Monday, the results of which have yet to be disclosed. With a matchup against the Chargers coming up Thursday, the 24-year-old is facing a short week of recovery.
Aug 16, 2019
Records tackle Thursday
Worley (shoulder) notched one tackle during Thursday's 33-26 preseason win over the Cardinals.
ANALYSIS
Worley is coming off shoulder surgery and looks to be fully healthy. The 24-year-old is working to earn a starting role in Oakland's secondary opposite Gareon Conley.
