Calvin Ridley Returns to Practice on Wednesday

Wednesday, October 28, 12:19 PM

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (hip) returned to practice on Wednesday after missing the Week 7 loss on Sunday to the Cleveland Browns, according to Turron Davenport of ESPN. Ridley's return for the first practice of Week 8 preparation is a good sign, but it will not guarantee his return this Sunday on the road against the Cincinnati Bengals. The 31-year-old might be worth a look as a WR4/flex option in deeper fantasy leagues this weekend if he returns, but only if rookie first-rounder Carnell Tate (shoulder) does not play. Tate apparently picked up a shoulder injury on Sunday and was unable to practice on Wednesday. Ridley has done very little so far in 2026 in six games in his third year in Tennessee, catching only five of his 10 targets for 81 yards (16.2 yards per catch) without finding the end zone. After his slow start to his eighth year in the NFL, Ridley is rostered in only 1% of Yahoo leagues with Week 8 approaching.

Early Returns on Rashid Shaheed's Knee are Positive

Monday, October 26, 9:04 AM

Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said on Monday that the "early returns are positive" on wide receiver Rashid Shaheed's knee after he left Sunday night's win over the Kansas City Chiefs early and did not return, according to Brady Henderson of ESPN. Shaheed injured his knee in the first half of the Week 7 game and did not return in the second half, finishing with only two catches on three targets for one yard while also returning a punt for 32 yards. The 28-year-old does not appear to be dealing with a long-term injury, and he could be ready to roll this week with an extra day to recover before the Seahawks face off against the Chicago Bears next Monday night in Week 8. The two-time Pro Bowler as a return man has continued to be an inconsistent fantasy receiver in his first full season in Seattle in 2026, catching 16 of his 30 targets for 163 yards, and he has yet to find the end zone after catching just 15 passes for 188 yards and no scores in nine regular-season games in 2025 after he was acquired from the New Orleans Saints.
