Ridley (illness) was limited in practice Wednesday but is expected to be healthy soon, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports.

Ridley could be back in full as early as Thursday's practice, per Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site. The veteran wideout is otherwise fully healthy after a fractured fibula caused an early end to his 2025 season, and he's now competing to retain a role in Tennessee's wide receiver room, which added Carnell Tate and Wan'Dale Robinson this offseason. Second-year pros Chimere Dike and Elic Ayomanor represent notable competition for Ridley at this stage in his career, with all three players competing for snaps in the Titans' wide receiver rotation.

Worthy (shoulder) is attending Wednesday's training camp practice without the yellow non-contact jersey he sported during spring workouts, Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star reports.

Worthy reportedly impressed during mandatory minicamp despite still being in the final stages of his recovery from January surgery undergone to address his labrum injury, which prevented him from taking contact. The 2024 first-round pick no longer appears to have any such restrictions, joining fellow top wideout Rashee Rice, who has also been cleared for the start of training camp. Worthy produced a 42-532-1 line on 73 targets across 14 regular-season appearances in 2025, but his shoulder injury seemingly played a significant role in hampering his production. He'll work to rebound in 2026 alongside Rice and Tyquan Thornton, with Jalen Royals, Cyrus Allen and Nikko Remigio filling out the WR room.

Brazzell (knee) is participating in Wednesday's training camp practice, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Brazzell missed a handful of days due to knee soreness that popped up last Sunday, but the rookie third-round pick has wasted little time retaking the field. Behind top wideouts Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker, Brazzell projects to spend camp competing with Xavier Legette, John Metchie and Jimmy Horn for the No. 3 role.

Noel's placement on the active/non-football injury list is due to a finger injury that could cause him to miss a few weeks, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Texans general manager Nick Caserio remarked that Noel could be back in a few weeks, though Wilson has reported that the second-year wideout's injury is short-term. It will be encouraging if Wilson is able to get back on the practice field at training camp sooner rather than later, given the opportunity he faces to secure the No. 3 receiver role behind Nico Collins and Jayden Higgins. As long as Noel remains sidelined, Xavier Hutchinson, Lewis Bond and Justin Watson will benefit from increased reps. The same could be true of Tank Dell (knee), who will begin camp limited to side work but will ramp up to full-team reps.

Dell (knee) will be held out of full-team reps to open training camp, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Dell's limitations are no surprise, though it is encouraging that he was able to avoid the active/PUP list to kick off camp. Wilson reports that Dell will work on the side during Wednesday's practice and for the early portion of training camp. It remains to be seen when Dell will be cleared for full-team work, but the wideout's recovery from his multi-ligament knee injury continues to look encouraging.

Noel (undisclosed), who was placed on the active/non-football injury list Tuesday, is dealing with a short-term issue, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Noel will seemingly be back at practice during the early stages of training camp, which is positive news as the 2025 third-rounder vies to secure the No. 3 wide receiver role in Houston. Nico Collins and Jayden Higgins appear solidified atop the depth chart, though Noel could have a chance so separate from Xavier Hutchinson, Tank Dell (knee), Lewis Bond and Justin Watson if he's able to impress during camp.

Bobo did not participate in Tuesday's training camp practice due to a leg injury, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Per Bell, Bobo picked up the injury during Monday's session and was forced to leave early. The severity of the injury isn't clear, but getting back on the practice field is crucial for the fourth-year wideout, who is competing against Tory Horton and rookie sixth-rounder Emmanuel Henderson for the WR4 job behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Rashid Shaheed and Cooper Kupp. Bobo split his snaps evenly between offense and special teams last year and finished the regular season with two catches (on as many targets) for 20 yards across 11 games. He also caught a 17-yard touchdown pass during the NFC Championship Game against the Rams.

Harrison (cramps) will practice Tuesday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Harrison didn't finish practice Sunday due to what coach Mike LaFleur described as cramping. However, the 2024 first-rounder is fine after Monday's day off and will return to the mix Tuesday. As the coming campaign approaches, Harrison will reprise his starting role alongside Michael Wilson. The 23-year-old Harrison is coming off a 2025 regular season in which he caught 41 of 73 passes for 608 yards and four TDs in 12 contests, but if he's able to stay healthy while building a strong rapport with starting QB Jacoby Brissett, his production should take a step forward.

The Bills placed Shavers (knee) on the active/PUP list Tuesday, Matt Parrino of The Syracuse Post-Standard reports.

Shavers tore his ACL during the Bills' 27-24 win over the Jaguars in the 2025 wild-card round. Shavers played in all 17 regular-season games during the 2025 season, catching 15 of 23 targets for 245 yards and one touchdown. It remains to be seen where the 26-year-old fits into the 2026 Bills' offensive scheme, as Joshua Palmer is returning from an ankle issue, and the team drafted Skyler Bell in the fourth round of the 2026 Draft.

Dell (knee) won't start training camp on the PUP list, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.

While it remains to be seen how much Dell will be able to do in practice once camp starts, avoiding the PUP list a good sign for the wideout as he makes his way back from a serious knee injury. The 2023 third-rounder hasn't seen game action since Week 16 of the 2024 season, so he figures to be eased in slowly. For now, Dell remains a very speculative fantasy option, but he could move up draft boards in the coming weeks if he looks sharp in training camp and re-establishes his chemistry with C.J. Stroud.
