Khalil Shakir News
Saturday, August 8, 7:45 AM
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir is likely to see reduced volume in the 2026 season following the team's offseason moves. Over the past two seasons, Shakir has been the team's WR1, averaging more than 4.5 receptions and about 50 yards per game. However, the Bills added former Panthers and Bears wideout D.J. Moore this offseason, which appears to be paying off. Star quarterback Josh Allen said it's "exciting as a quarterback when you have someone like that," and even Shakir said that Allen and Moore's "connection has been unreal. When you watch stuff like that, it just feels fake, like how beautiful that play was." While Shakir will remain in his slot role for the 2026 season, with Moore's elite after-the-catch ability, you could see some of Shakir's manufactured targets disappear this year.

Xavier Worthy News
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.
