Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy earns top speed rating for latest release of EA Sports' Madden NFL

USA Today2 days ago
Speed is the ultimate x-factor in the NFL, and the experts at EA Sports have determined that Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy will be the fastest player in their upcoming release of the beloved Madden NFL franchise.
Worthy, who was Kansas City's first-round pick in the 2024 NFL draft, showed off his blazing speed at the combine last year, setting the 40-yard dash record at 4.21 seconds.
In Madden, players are assigned ratings for a range of attributes that correspond to their real-life skill sets.
This season, Worthy is expected to take his game to the next level, and the ratings experts at EA Sports gave him a 99 speed rating, which will be the highest mark in Madden 26 upon the game's release.
While Worthy's overall grade isn't expected to be the highest, his utility as a deep threat will make him a hot commodity for Madden players who wish to take the tops off of opposing defenses.

Lions' Norris hospitalized after scary injury, NFL pre-season game suspended

The Detroit Lions' NFL pre-season game was suspended after Detroit safety Morice Norris suffered a serious injury and was taken from the field at Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium in an ambulance. Norris was attempting a tackle on Atlanta's Nathan Carter when he appeared to take an inadvertent knee to the head. He lay motionless on the ground for several minutes and was tended by medical staff from both teams. "He's breathing, he's talking. It's good. He's got some movement," Lions coach Dan Campbell said in opening comments on Norris's condition at his post-game news conference. "Now they'll just run more tests." Players from both teams looked on with concern as Norris was treated on the field, eventually joining hands in a prayer circle. Both teams agreed to let the remaining 13 minutes on the clock run out. The contest was officially suspended with 6:19 remaining and the Lions leading 17-10. Campbell said he agreed with Falcons coach Raheem Morris on suspending the game. "I just told them to pray for him," Campbell said. "At that point we didn't know he was breathing. I told them we're just taking knees." bb/sla
