Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley returned to action from his hamstring injury on Nov. 16. One play into Tennessee’s Week 11 game, he suffered a season-ending injury.
Ridley was carted off of the field during the Titans’ clash with the Houston Texans on Nov. 16 and was ruled out with an ankle injury. Tennessee interim head coach Mike McCoy announced after the end of the game that Ridley broke his fibula and will miss the final seven weeks of the season.
Tennessee’s veteran receiver had missed his team’s three previous games with his hamstring injury he sustained Week 6. Ridley caught a pass on the Titans’ first play of the game, picking up a first down on a 13-yard reception but limped off of the field and eventually went back to the locker room on a cart.
Calvin Ridley injury update
Ridley suffered a season-ending injury in the Titans’ Week 11 game against the Texans.
After the Titans’ loss on Nov. 16, McCoy, the team’s interim head coach, announced that Ridley broke his fibula – the smaller bone in the lower leg that makes up the outer part of the ankle. The wideout’s season is over.
On his lone play of the day against Houston, Ridley caught a pass for 13 yards on Tennessee’s first play from scrimmage. He went down with an ankle injury and had to be carted off of the field before he was ruled out.
Ridley had missed the Titans’ three prior games with a hamstring injury and was making his return in Week 11 after his team’s Week 10 bye. The wideout had played in all 34 games over the past two seasons, but his hamstring injury in Week 6 knocked him out for his first three missed games with the Titans.
With his fibula injury, Ridley will miss seven more games and finish the 2025 season having appeared in seven games.

The Titans’ receiving corps got ravaged by injuries during Nov. 16’s game against the Texans. Both Ridley and Dike were ruled out of the game with injuries they sustained in the first half.
That has left rookie No. 1 overall pick and quarterback Cam Ward with three healthy receivers to throw to in Week 11.
Tennessee has three other receivers on its practice squad that the team might elevate in Week 12: veteran James Proche II and rookies Hal Presley III and Xavier Restrepo.
