Calvin Ridley Regains Weight After Stomach Virus

Saturday, August 1, 11:16 AM

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley said he lost almost 15 pounds while dealing with a stomach virus but has since gained the weight back, according to Terry McCormick. Ridley also said he had eaten Chipotle before becoming ill, though the report did not identify the restaurant as the cause. The update is welcome after a quiet offseason in which Ridley's work was limited. His 2025 season ended after seven games because of a broken fibula and high ankle sprain, leaving him with 17 catches for 303 yards and no touchdowns. Tennessee added Wan'Dale Robinson in free agency and selected Carnell Tate fourth overall, giving Ridley more competition for targets this season. With the lost weight already restored, there is no indication in McCormick's report that the illness remains an active concern. Ridley's camp usage and role alongside Tennessee's new receivers are the more important fantasy developments to follow.

KC Concepcion Injury Not Believed to Be Serious

Monday, August 3, 5:27 PM

Cleveland Browns rookie wide receiver KC Concepcion (shoulder) is expected to be okay after suffering a shoulder injury in practice on Monday. Concepcion took a hard fall on a short pass over the middle from Deshaun Watson, prompting attention from the Browns' medical staff. While there is no specific timeline for when the 2026 first-round pick will return to practice, it's good to know the injury is not significant. According to multiple reports, Concepcion has had a fantastic camp, operating in the first-team offense in the slot. The rookie receiver is currently ranked WR48 in RotoBaller's rankings and, assuming he's healthy and ready to go for Week 1, should have a chance to be the lead receiver for Cleveland in 2026.
