The Tennessee Titans officially placed wide receiver Calvin Ridley (leg) on season-ending Injured Reserve on Tuesday and signed receiver James Proche II to the active 53-man roster in a corresponding move, according to Jim Wyatt of the team's website. Ridley broke his fibula in Sunday's loss to the Houston Texans and will miss the rest of 2025. In addition to Ridley's injury, rookie wideouts Chimere Dike (chest) and Elic Ayomanor (hamstring) were injured in Week 11 and did not return. It means the Titans' WR corps could be dangerously thin for their Week 12 tilt against the visiting Seattle Seahawks. If Dike and Ayomanor are both unable to play this weekend, it would mean much larger roles for veteran Van Jefferson and Mason Kinsey in the passing game, with tight ends Chig Okonkwo and Gunnar Helm also seeing target boosts.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (leg) broke his fibula during Sunday's Week 11 contest against the Houston Texans, according to interim head coach Mike McCoy. Ridley is done for the season. It's been a very frustrating year for the veteran receiver health-wise. After a slow start offensively, he finally found a groove with five catches and 131 yards in Week 5. The next week, though, he injured his hamstring, forcing him to miss three games. He finally returned from that injury this Sunday before breaking his fibula just one quarter into Week 11. The 30-year-old finishes the 2025 season with 17 catches, 303 yards, and zero touchdowns through parts of seven games. Elic Ayomanor, Chimere Dike (concussion), and Van Jefferson will operate as the Titans' top receivers for the rest of the season.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of his team's Week 11 matchup against the Houston Texans due to an ankle injury. Ridley recorded one catch for 13 yards on one target before being forced to exit the game. Week 11 was Ridley's first game back from a hamstring injury that forced him to miss a month. It's unclear how severe Ridley's newest ailment is, but it's not a great sign that the ankle injury forced him to be carted to the locker room. Tennessee also lost rookie wideout Chimere Dike (concussion) to a concussion in Week 11. Without Ridley and Dike, Titans wide receivers Elic Ayomanor, Van Jefferson, and Mason Kinsey should all see an uptick in playing time and target share.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (ankle) was carted to the locker room Sunday against the Houston Texans and is questionable to return to the game, according to John Glennon of the Nashville Post. The veteran wide receiver missed a full month with a hamstring injury and was quickly injured once again upon returning Sunday. The team called Ridley questionable to return, but the cart is rarely a good sign for a quick re-entry. Billed as the team's top receiver before the season, Ridley has just 16 catches on the season, and his fantasy value has plummeted on one of the NFL's worst teams.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (hamstring), who was listed as questionable for Week 11 against the division-rival Houston Texans, is officially active on Sunday after missing the last three games with a hamstring injury. It's good news for a Titans team coming off their bye, but fantasy managers probably still aren't very excited to get the 30-year-old veteran back into their starting lineups. Ridley just hasn't shown much chemistry with rookie quarterback Cameron Ward, as he enters Sunday's action with only 16 catches for 290 yards and no touchdowns in six games in his second year in Tennessee. In addition to Ridley's disappointing 2025 campaign, the matchup against one of the best defenses in the NFL in the Texans makes him more of a WR5 in fantasy in his return. Ridley's return is also bad news for those considering rookies Elic Ayomanor or Chimere Dike as streaming options.

According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (hamstring) is expected to play in Sunday's meeting with Houston. The wideout has been out of commission since Week 7 because of a hamstring injury. Although it appeared he had a chance to return over the last few weeks, it seems he'll finally be back on the field. Ridley hasn't had a strong 2025 campaign, amassing 16 catches (35 targets) for 290 yards while failing to find the end zone. All things considered, he's not the safest fantasy option, considering Cam Ward hasn't been good all year. Ridley will also draw a tough matchup with a formidable Texans defense, which isn't an ideal scenario in his first game in over a month.
Nov 15, 2025 10:27 PM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (hamstring) is currently listed as questionable ahead of the Week 11 matchup against the Houston Texans. Ridley is hopeful to get back on the field after missing each of the last three games due to a hamstring issue. The Titans are coming off a bye week, but Ridley still practiced in limited capacity all week. It sounds like he might be a legitimate game-time decision for this weekend. If he's active, Ridley could offer flex appeal, but fantasy managers will need to check back for another update.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (hamstring) was a limited participant in practice again on Thursday. The veteran receiver is trying to work his way back from a hamstring injury that he suffered in Week 6. Tennessee's pass catchers haven't missed a beat since Ridley went down, as Chimere Dike has 12 catches for 168 yards since then, and Elic Ayomanor has nine catches for 127 yards. The Titans continue to struggle on both sides of the ball, but a high frequency of negative game scripts has left Tennessee's receivers in a relatively favorable fantasy position. The two rookies are low-end WR3/flex options, while Ridley can be benched in most leagues.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (hamstring) will return to the practice field on Wednesday, according to Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com. Ridley has not played since injuring his hamstring in the Week 6 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, but the 30-year-old wideout appears to be healthier coming out of the team's bye week. Depending on how he holds up in practices this week, he could make his return this Sunday to face the division-rival Houston Texans in Week 11. Ridley's return would make both rookies Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike a little less attractive as flex options in fantasy lineups, but it's not like Ridley has done much himself in the Titans offense in 2025. The former first-rounder hasn't developed any real chemistry with rookie quarterback Cameron Ward this year and has only 16 receptions for 290 yards and no touchdowns in his six games played.

The Tennessee Titans are not shopping wide receiver Calvin Ridley (hamstring) ahead of Tuesday's 4 p.m. trade deadline, according to Turron Davenport of ESPN. Davenport's post on X claims to refute other reports that said Ridley was being shopped. However, he does note that the team has been receiving interest in Ridley. Even though the Titans aren't actively trying to move the veteran receiver, he could still be traded if another team makes a fair offer. Such a scenario would open the door for rookies Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike to occupy even larger roles on offense.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (hamstring) "has emerged as a potential trade target," according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Rapoport notes that the lingering hamstring injury and the $23 million in salary owed to Ridley could complicate a trade, but that teams remain interested in acquiring him nonetheless. The 30-year-old has been underwhelming with Tennessee this year, catching just 16 passes for 290 yards through six games. His best outing came in Week 6 when he caught five of 10 targets for 131 yards, but other than that, he hasn't exceeded four catches or 8.7 fantasy points (PPR). A fresh start could be exactly what Ridley needs to bounce back and fulfill the expectations of his lofty four-year, $92 million contract extension.

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.
Oct 31, 2025 1:41 PM EST
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.
Oct 30, 2025 3:50 PM EST
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.
Oct 29, 2025 1:27 PM EST
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.
Oct 24, 2025 2:29 PM EST
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.
