Updating a previous report, the Tennessee Titans have officially ruled out wide receiver Calvin Ridley (hamstring) for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 9, per Jim Wyatt of TennesseeTitans.com. This was the way things were headed after Ridley did not practice at all again this week. The 30-year-old veteran pass-catcher has not practiced or played since he hurt his hamstring back in Week 6, and he will be missing his third straight game against the Bolts. Ridley's continued absence will make rookie receivers Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike intriguing again in Week 9 as WR4/flex plays in a game in which the Titans will likely be forced to pass often. Ridley, who has been rumored as a trade option at this year's deadline, is still searching for his first touchdown of the year and just hasn't developed any chemistry with rookie quarterback Cameron Ward.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (hamstring) was not spotted at the team's practice on Friday, according to Jim Wyatt of TennesseeTitans.com. Ridley has not practiced or played since injuring his hamstring in Week 6, and it seems like only a matter of time before the Titans officially rule him out for a third straight game for the Week 9 battle against the visiting Los Angeles Chargers this Sunday. With Ridley likely to miss another game this weekend, fantasy managers can look to rookies Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike as flex options in another contest that should feature plenty of positive game script for the Titans. The 30-year-old Ridley has been a huge disappointment for his fantasy managers in 2025, and at this point, a trade out of town might be the only thing to salvage his season. He has yet to find the end zone in six games and has only 16 receptions for 290 yards.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport lists Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (hamstring) as a potential trade candidate ahead of next Tuesday's deadline. The Titans are clearly rebuilding for the future and are already getting long looks at rookie receivers Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike in 2025, with Ridley missing the last two games due to a hamstring injury. Ridley has yet to practice this week, too, so he's likely to miss a third straight game this weekend against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 9. However, as long as the veteran pass-catcher's hamstring issue isn't a long-term one, WR-needy contenders could be willing to trade for him as they look to make a run in the second half of the season. At this point, a trade out of Tennessee might be the only thing to save Ridley's fantasy value the rest of the year. The former first-rounder has yet to score a touchdown and has only 16 catches for 290 yards through eight weeks.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (hamstring) was not spotted at Thursday's practice, according to Jim Wyatt of TennesseeTitans.com. Ridley has not practiced since injuring his hamstring in Week 6 and appears to be on his way towards missing his third straight game in Week 9 versus the visiting Los Angeles Chargers. The 30-year-old veteran will need to return to practice on Friday in some fashion to have a shot at ending his two-game absence. Since Ridley's injury, rookie receivers Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike have taken on expanded roles in the Titans' passing attack. Tight end Chig Okonkwo (foot) has yet to practice this week, either, which means Ayomanor and Dike could see even more targets this weekend against L.A. if both Ridley and Okonkwo are ruled out. Ridley has been a major disappointment in his third year in Tennessee, catching 16 passes for 290 yards and no touchdowns so far through eight weeks.

Tennessee Titans interim head coach Mike McCoy said that wide receiver Calvin Ridley (hamstring) will not practice on Wednesday, per Jim Wyatt of TennesseeTitans.com. Ridley was injured in Week 6 and hasn't practiced or played since, and he's trending in the wrong direction early in the week to make his return this Sunday to face the visiting Los Angeles Chargers. Even if the 30-year-old returns to practice in the next couple of days and suits up in Week 9, fantasy managers won't be in a rush to throw him back into their starting lineups. Ridley just hasn't shown much chemistry with rookie first-round quarterback Cameron Ward this year when he's been on the field, catching 16 of his 35 targets for 290 yards and no touchdowns in six games. If Ridley misses another game, rookies Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike will have elevated roles for the third straight contest.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (hamstring) has been ruled out of Sunday's divisional matchup with the Colts, according to interim head coach Mike McCoy. This marks the second straight game missed by Ridley, after battling through injury in a Week 6 loss to the Raiders. In his absence last week, it was the Titans' rookie pass catchers who were leaned on, as Elic Ayomanor, Chimere Dike, and Gunnar Helm combined for 14 targets, with Dike connecting on a long touchdown grab from Cam Ward. While Ward's lowlights from last week included an unforced fumble that led to a defensive score, he still posted a season-high completion percentage and passer rating. While the Titans' offense has left much to be desired, and they face another formidable opponent in the Colts, desperate fantasy managers can throw a dart at Ayomanor or Dike in a week that sees six NFL teams on a bye.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (hamstring) missed his second straight practice on Thursday due to a hamstring injury. The veteran wideout was sidelined in Week 7 because of the injury, and he appears to be at risk of missing Tennessee's Week 8 game against the Indianapolis Colts as well. Ridley has recorded 16 catches for 290 yards on 35 targets across six games played this season. If he's unable to play against Indianapolis, Titans wideouts Elic Ayomanor, Chimere Dike, and Van Jefferson will likely handle the majority of the team's wide receiver snaps. Given that Ridley has yet to practice this week, fantasy managers should likely be operating under the assumption that he will miss a second straight game until proven otherwise.
Oct 23, 2025 4:19 PM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (hamstring) was unable to practice on Wednesday. Ridley continues to deal with a lingering hamstring issue that he suffered during the Week 6 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. He sat out in Week 7 and is missing practice to begin the week here. Fantasy managers will need to continue monitoring his status throughout the week. If Ridley sits again, Elic Ayomanor and Van Jefferson figure to start against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 8. Also, Chimere Dike is a sleeper player to see more work after hauling in four receptions for 70 yards and a touchdown last week.
Oct 22, 2025 9:18 PM EST
When the Tennessee Titans welcome former coach Mike Vrabel and his New England Patriots back to Nashville on Sunday, they will be without top wide receiver Calvin Ridley (hamstring). Ridley has dealt with knee and elbow injuries over the past two weeks, but it is the hamstring injury sustained in the team's Week 6 loss to the Raiders that held him out of practice this week, and he has now been ruled out. In a week with headlines already swirling around Vrabel's return, the Titans fired head coach Brian Callahan after less than a season and a half at the helm and could have used a steadying presence on offense. While rookie Elic Ayomanor should see an increase in target share with Ridley sidelined, it's hard to trust any Titans pass catchers. However, for fantasy managers in a pinch, Chigoziem Okonkwo, coming off a six-catch game, could be a sneaky start against a Patriots defense that has struggled to defend tight ends.
Oct 17, 2025 2:54 PM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (hamstring) was not seen at practice on Thursday, according to Turron Davenport of ESPN. It will be Ridley's second straight missed practice this week after he came down with a hamstring injury in the Week 6 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. Unless he can practice on Friday, Ridley will most likely be ruled out for the Week 7 tilt against the New England Patriots on Sunday. With Ridley trending towards an inactive this weekend, rookie Elic Ayomanor is trending up as a fantasy flex play in Week 7. In addition to Ayomanor, veteran Van Jefferson and tight ends Chig Okonwko and Gunnar Helm should be more involved in the passing attack if Ridley is officially inactive. Ridley has not shown much chemistry with rookie quarterback Cameron Ward so far in 2025 and could have to wait until Week 8 against the Indianapolis Colts to try for his first touchdown of the season.
Oct 16, 2025 3:24 PM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (hamstring) was not spotted at practice on Wednesday, according to Jim Wyatt of TennesseeTitans.com. Ridley played only six offensive snaps in the Week 6 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday before injuring his hamstring and never returning. The 30-year-old is on the wrong side of questionable early in the week after not practicing on Wednesday, but he still has two more days to get back on the practice field. If he is unable to go this weekend against the New England Patriots, rookie wideout Elic Ayomanor should operate as the Titans' No. 1 receiver. Veteran Van Jefferson would also be in line for an expanded role for the second straight week. Ridley has had a very disappointing 2025 campaign to this point, catching 16 passes for 290 yards in six games. He's still searching for his first touchdown.
Oct 15, 2025 3:53 PM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (hamstring) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's Week 6 contest against the Las Vegas Raiders. Ridley exited in the second quarter with a hamstring issue and will be held out for the rest of this game as a precaution. He'll finish this game hauling in his lone target for 18 yards. The loss of Ridley should mean increased roles for Elic Ayomanor, Tyler Lockett, and Van Jefferson. Fantasy managers should check back for more updates on Ridley's status. Sadly, hamstring issues have a tendency to linger, so Ridley could be looking at a multiple game absence.
Oct 12, 2025 6:16 PM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (hamstring) exited during the first half of Sunday's Week 6 contest against the Las Vegas Raiders. He is officially listed as questionable to return. At the time of his departure, he had just one target, which he converted into an 18-yard reception. Ridley had a frustratingly quiet start to the season but was finally coming around, as he caught five passes for 131 yards last weekend. Elic Ayomanor, Tyler Lockett, and Chimere Dike will step up as the Titans' top wide receivers until Ridley is able to return.
Oct 12, 2025 5:40 PM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley finally was able to have success on the field during last week's game against the Arizona Cardinals. Ridley came into last week's game with three receptions for 57 yards over his last two games. The 30-year-old came out of nowhere and posted a huge performance in the win. Ridley hauled in five of his 10 targets for 131 yards, but was held out of the endzone. The hope is that Ridley and rookie quarterback Cam Ward continue building chemistry each week. Ridley has a plus matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 6. Fantasy managers should feel fine with plugging in Ridley as a WR3.
Oct 10, 2025 9:39 PM EST
Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan said that the team has to "keep finding ways to use" wide receiver Calvin Ridley's skill set, according to Jim Wyatt of TennesseeTitans.com. "He played well for us down the stretch on Sunday, and we're going to need that to continue ... We protected well, too, which helped," Callahan added. After a quiet start to the season through four weeks that saw Ridley go over 50 yards just once in a single game with no touchdowns, he broke out in Sunday's upset win over the Arizona Cardinals for a 5-131-0 line on a season-high 10 targets. The 30-year-old still hasn't scored in 2025, but his Week 5 performance was a breath of fresh air for his fantasy managers. Hopefully, his down-the-field chemistry with rookie quarterback Cameron Ward continues to improve, but even if it does, there are going to be more frustrating outings. He'll have a good matchup to keep things going in a Week 6 contest against the one-win Las Vegas Raiders.
Oct 6, 2025 7:19 PM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley caught five of his 10 targets for 131 yards in Sunday's Week 5 victory over the Arizona Cardinals. The veteran pass catcher finally got out of the rut that had plagued him for the first four weeks of the season. In fact, this Sunday, Ridley delivered his first double-digit fantasy performance (PPR) of 2025. While it's possible that a softer matchup against the Cardinals was the main reason for his breakout, the good news is that Tennessee takes on another subpar defense next week in Las Vegas. Ridley remains a solid WR3/flex option for the time being.
Oct 6, 2025 12:59 AM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (knee, elbow) is officially active for his team's Week 5 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. Ridley practiced just once this week but will give it a go on Sunday. The 30-year-old is off to a slow start to the 2025 season with 10 catches for 141 yards and zero touchdowns on 24 targets through four games. Ridley profiles as a low-end flex option in three-wide receiver leagues in Week 5 against Arizona.
Oct 5, 2025 2:38 PM EST
According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (knee, elbow) is trending toward playing this Sunday when his team takes on the Arizona Cardinals. Despite a questionable designation, two DNPs and a limited session on Friday, it appears that the veteran is on track to play in his Week 5 matchup. Ridley picked up knee and elbow injuries during Tennessee's loss to the Texans last weekend, which is why he played just 54% of the snaps. Even if he's active, it's unclear precisely how healthy he is, adding an extra variable into an already risky situation. The Cardinals are actually a decent matchup, yielding the fifth-most passing yards per contest (255.5). However, the 30-year-old's floor has been low with rookie QB Cam Ward, and fantasy managers can't trust him as anything more than a low-end flex option.
Oct 5, 2025 12:14 AM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (knee, elbow) is currently considered questionable for the upcoming Week 5 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. Ridley didn't practice for back-to-back days before getting in a limited practice session on Friday. When healthy, Ridley hasn't been much of a fantasy option anyway. Ridley has three receptions for 57 yards over the last two games. The Titans offense is a mess right now, so it's tough to trust anyone on this offense. If healthy, Ridley should be considered a low-end flex option for Week 5.
Oct 3, 2025 9:14 PM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (knee/elbow) will be listed as questionable for the team's Week 5 matchup with the Arizona Cardinals, according to head coach Brian Callahan. While the Titans have not yet publicized their Friday practice report, Ridley sat out both Wednesday and Thursday's practices with injuries to both his knee and elbow. Ridley saw his lightest workload of the season in a Week 4 loss to the Texans, and it has since been revealed that he was battling through those injuries during the game. Ridley is tied for the team target lead with rookie Elic Ayomanor. While the subpar looks they've been getting from fellow rookie Cam Ward have resulted in a catch rate right around 50% for both, should Ridley miss time, a consolidated target share for Ayomanor could make him the only Titans player worthy of a start this week against a rather generous Cardinals' pass defense.
