Calvin Ridley Out for Season With Broken Fibula After First-Play Catch

The season-ending leg fracture leaves Tennessee leaning on inexperienced receivers.

Overview

  • Interim coach Mike McCoy confirmed after the game that Ridley broke his fibula and will miss the rest of the 2025 season.
  • Ridley was hurt on the Titans’ first offensive snap against Houston after a 13-yard catch and was carted to the locker room.
  • This was his first game back after missing three with a hamstring injury; he finishes the year with 17 receptions for 303 yards.
  • With Ridley sidelined, rookies Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike and veteran Van Jefferson are primary options, though Ayomanor (hamstring) and Dike (chest) were being evaluated Monday.
  • The injury heightens offseason roster and cap decisions tied to Ridley’s four-year, $92 million deal as the 1-9 Titans continue their rebuild with rookie QB Cam Ward.
