Coach Andy Reid said Monday that Worthy (hamstring) is considered day-to-day in advance of Sunday's game against the Falcons, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

The same applies to QB Patrick Mahomes (elbow), with the status of both key Kansas City skill players worth monitoring closely in the coming days. If Worthy is limited or out this weekend, added reps behind top WR Rashee Rice would be available for Cyrus Allen, Jalen Royals and Andrew Armstrong.

Brown (knee) is trending toward traveling with the Patriots for their trip to Munich, where the team will face the Lions this coming weekend, according to Mark Daniels of MassLive.com.

Per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, coach Mike Vrabel indicated that for now the team plans for the wideout to make the trip, but a decision on that front has yet to be locked in. In Brown's second consecutive missed game, Sunday against the Packers, DeMario Douglas, Mack Hollins, Efton Chism and Kyle Williams handled the Patriots' Week 9 WR duties.

Titans head coach Robert Saleh confirmed Monday that Ridley was involved in an "unfortunate" interaction over the weekend at Nashville International Airport that is now in the hands of law enforcement, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.

Though neither the Titans nor the police have publicly shared details pertaining to the incident, Saleh described it as a "very minor miscommunication." Saleh didn't indicate that Ridley's availability for Sunday's game against the Jaguars is in any jeopardy following the incident, though the 31-year-old wideout could be a candidate to get dealt elsewhere ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline. Ridley has been limited to six receptions for 91 yards on 13 targets through seven appearances and doesn't look to be a major part of the 1-7 Titans' immediate or long-term plans.

McConkey was active but didn't play any snaps in Sunday's 44-22 loss to the Texans after experiencing back spasms during pregame workouts, Noah Furtado of The Athletic reports.

Because McConkey sustained the injury after the Chargers had already announced their inactive list, the wideout ended up being active but unavailable for the second time in three games. Back in Week 5, McConkey had been managing a foot injury but still proceeded to suit up for a matchup with Denver, though he didn't see any action and was active only because the Chargers had seven other players dealing with more significant health concerns. McConkey also made early exits in Weeks 1 due to a rib injury, Week 4 due to the foot issue and in Week 6 due to a concussion. The mounting injuries have made it increasingly difficult for fantasy managers to depend on McConkey, whose lack of availability has been one of many reasons that the 0-7 Chargers have taken a massive step back on offense in 2026.

Godwin caught two of three targets for 16 yards and added a 12-yard rush during Sunday night's 27-24 loss to the Bears.

Godwin has now gone back-to-back weeks without reeling in at least three passes after having done so in each of Tampa Bay's first seven contests this year. The wide receiver has yet to exceed 50 receiving yards or reach the end zone over nine games so far during the 2026 campaign, and he will remain an unappealing fantasy option when the Buccaneers return to action in Week 11 against the Lions.

Egbuka (foot) caught three of five targets for 38 yards and added a one-yard run in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Bears.

Egbuka returned from a two-game absence during which he was in concussion protocol in addition to dealing with a foot injury. He tied for second on the team in targets behind Cade Otton's eight and finished third in receiving yards behind Tez Johnson (76) and Kenny Gainwell (60), as Baker Mayfield spread the ball around to complement Bucky Irving's two-touchdown effort on the ground. Egbuka hasn't exceeded 63 yards in seven appearances this season heading into Tampa Bay's Week 10 bye.

Odunze caught four of seven targets for 60 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Buccaneers.

Odunze bobbled what should have been an easy touchdown catch and failed to get down inbounds by the time he secured the ball, but he made amends two plays later with his first touchdown catch of the season to cap Chicago's opening drive from nine yards out. He had another critical drop later in the game but still finished second on the team behind Luther Burden (concussion) in targets, catches and receiving yards. Burden exited late in the game, and if Chicago's Week 10 bye doesn't provide the team's leading receiver enough time to clear concussion protocol, Odunze could get an uptick in opportunities in Week 11 against the Saints.

Burden has a concussion, head coach Ben Johnson revealed after Sunday's 27-24 win over the Buccaneers, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

Burden left the game in the fourth quarter after taking a high hit, and a subsequent evaluation has revealed a concussion for Chicago's leading receiver. He will have to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol in order to be eligible to play in Week 11 against the Saints, with Chicago's Week 10 bye offering Burden an extra week to recover. Burden extended his touchdown streak to three games with a 56-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter.

Burden (undisclosed) was helped off the field in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

Burden took a big hit up high and fumbled the ball on the play on which he got injured. He eventually headed to the blue medical tent. Prior to getting hurt, Burden caught seven of nine targets for 97 yards and a touchdown, with most of his yards coming on a 56-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter.

Mitchell failed to reel in any of his seven targets during Sunday's 35-12 loss to the Chiefs.

Mitchell finished second on the team in targets behind fellow wideout Omar Cooper (11) with Garrett Wilson (concussion) unavailable. Mitchell has now went without a reception in two of the last three contests, but he has garnered 19 targets in the last three weeks, and he figures to remain busy in Week 10 against the Bills.
