Steelers' Russell Wilson limited in practice with calf tightness PITTSBURGH -- Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson was limited in Thursday's practice due to tightness in the calf he injured during training camp. Coach Mike Tomlin did not specify when Wilson, 35, notified the coaches about the issue but mentioned that the quarterback will undergo further evaluation as a precaution.

Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes Praises Xavier Worthy's Impressive Debut Performance KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Rookie wide receiver Xavier Worthy made an immediate impact in his NFL debut, scoring a touchdown on his first touch and another in the fourth quarter, which proved to be the game-winner in the Chiefs' 27-20 victory over the Baltimore Ravens. However, for quarterback Patrick Mahomes, Worthy’s influence went beyond those two touchdowns. Mahomes highlighted that the rookie’s mere presence on the field was a significant factor. "Just having him out there opens up a lot of opportunities," Mahomes explained. "You saw when he was on the field, they had to play shell coverages, which in turn freed up guys like Travis Kelce and Rashee Rice underneath. That’s the beauty of our offense—we can take advantage of those situations, and that’s when we’re at our best. Worthy caught just two passes in the game, including a 35-yard touchdown from Mahomes in the final quarter, and a...
