Calvin Ridley

Titans receiver just returned from hamstring injury #Titans WR Calvin Ridley, in his first game back from a hamstring injury, broke his fibula and is done for the season, interim coach Mike McCoy said. (Ian Rapoport on X) FF Today's Take: It's been a nightmare season for Ridley who has played in just six games and will finish without scoring a touchdown. He's been out six Week 6 when he suffered a hamstring injury and will now missed the remainder of the season with a broken fibula. The Titans will press forward with Elic Ayomanor, Van Jefferson, and Chimere Dike as their top three receivers.

Ridley finishes the season with a 17 catches for 303 yards and no touchdowns. The Titans have a new general manager, will have a new head coach, and cutting Ridley -- who hadn't delivered in 2024 even when he was healthy -- feels like a fait accompli given the $13.7 million in cap savings they can realize by doing so. The soon-to-be 31-year-old will likely be looking for a one-year contract next offseason.

Titans WR Calvin Ridley broke his fibula in Sunday's loss to the Texans and will miss the rest of the season, interim HC Mike McCoy said afterward. Ridley had just returned after missing the previous three games with a hamstring injury. He finishes his 2025 campaign with a 16-290-0 receiving line in six games. Ridley turns 31 in December and has no guaranteed money left on his current contract, which runs through 2027. Expect the Titans to restructure that deal or release Ridley this offseason. They'll roll with WRs Elic Ayomanor, Chimere Dike, and Van Jefferson the rest of the way -- although Dike sustained a concussion today.

Ward had been mostly unproductive until a 95-yard touchdown drive to tie the game at 13 with less than two minutes to play. He was notably helped by a few home cooking penalties, but had a key 39-yard strike to Chig Okonkwo to set the Titans up with first-and-goal. He didn't appear to be on the same page with Mason Kinsey on a few key plays -- the Titans lost Calvin Ridley and Chimere Dike to injuries today, if you're wondering why Kinsey was out there -- and left a few deep balls long. It was better than his first showing against the Texans, but we're not stumbling towards fantasy relevance here or anything. Certainly you should not start Ward next week against the Seahawks if you can avoid it.

Interim head coach Mike McCoy noted after Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Texans that Ridley is out for the season with a broken fibula, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com and Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site report.
