Overview
- Ridley was hurt on a 13-yard catch on Tennessee’s first offensive snap against the Texans, limped to the sideline and was carted to the locker room after being listed as questionable.
- Interim head coach Mike McCoy said postgame that tests confirmed a broken fibula, ending Ridley’s 2025 season, and he expressed sympathy for the veteran’s setback.
- This was Ridley’s first game since Oct. 12 after a hamstring injury that cost him the previous three contests and limited his availability throughout the year.
- With Ridley out, the Titans plan to lean on rookies Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike, with veterans Van Jefferson and tight end Chig Okonkwo in complementary roles as Cam Ward continues his development.
- Ridley is under contract beyond this season, and his focus now turns to recovery as the team evaluates its receiving group for the remainder of 2025 and into the offseason.
