Overview
- Interim coach Mike McCoy said postgame that Ridley broke his fibula against Houston and will miss the remainder of the 2025 season.
- Ridley was hurt on Tennessee’s first offensive snap after a 13-yard catch, was initially listed as questionable, and was carted to the locker room.
- This was his first game since an Oct. 12 hamstring injury that had kept him out for three contests.
- Across six appearances, Ridley has 17 receptions for 303 yards and no touchdowns; Tennessee dropped to 1-9 with a 16-13 loss to the Texans.
- With Ridley sidelined, targets shift to rookies Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike with Van Jefferson and Chig Okonkwo in support, and analysts note the team could evaluate offseason cap options tied to his contract, including a potential post–June 1 designation.
