Overview
- Ridley was injured after a 13-yard catch on Tennessee’s opening snap and was later carted from the sideline to the locker room.
- He was officially listed as questionable to return with an ankle injury, the team announced during the first quarter.
- Observers noted he limped to the medical tent under his own power before being transported for further evaluation.
- Some clinicians on social media suggested the play’s mechanics resembled a high-ankle sprain, but that remains unconfirmed pending tests.
- Ridley had missed the previous three games with a hamstring issue, and his status could shift targets to Chimere Dike, Elic Ayomanor and Van Jefferson for rookie QB Cam Ward.
