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.

Xavier Worthy Returns to Practice Monday

Monday, August 10, 7:59 AM

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy (shoulder) returned to practice Monday after missing time with a shoulder sprain, according to Matt Derrick. Worthy sat out practice last week while recovering from the injury, making his return a positive step with Kansas City's preseason opener against the Los Angeles Rams coming Saturday. The third-year receiver is coming off a 2025 season in which he caught 42 passes for 532 yards and one touchdown across 14 games while dealing with multiple injuries. Worthy had also been one of the Chiefs' more productive players during the offseason program before the latest setback. It is not yet clear how much work he handled Monday, so his participation over the next few practices should give a better indication of where he stands.
