Calvin

Ridley

Ridley told reporters that he was trying to get his keys from the valet at the airport. They were giving him a hard time, so he took the keys out of the valet’s hands. The valet claims the altercation broke his finger. Ridley was at practice today and head coach Robert Saleh called it a “very minor miscommunication.” It doesn’t sound like the incident will keep Ridley off the field for now, though he hasn’t made much of an impact this year anyway.

Saleh didn’t get into the details of the matter, instead opting to say it was a “very minor miscommunication” that is “now in the hands of law enforcement.” Ridley, 31, has caught 6-of-12 targets for 91 scoreless yards this season and could find himself on the move ahead of Tuesday’s trade deadline. That said, he’s far from the difference-making player he was early in his career and is fourth among Titans receivers in routes run (124) this season.

The Titans are listening on Ridley, who could be had for a late-round pick, according to Schefter. The Chiefs, Steelers and 49ers are the most likely teams to be in the market for a wide receiver ahead of Tuesday’s trade deadline. The Ringer’s Tom Pelissero also reported that multiple wide receivers could be traded before the deadline and listed Ridley as a name to watch.

Breer believes a fourth-round pick “seems like a lot” to give up for an aging running back who is set to enter free agency at the end of the year. So, Pollard might end up staying in Tennessee. Breer adds that the Titans could also consider trading away Calvin Ridley for a worse Day 3 pick, but he isn’t sure if the team is eager to get rid of pass catchers while they are attempting to develop their young quarterback.

The Rams’ resources are thin. They already traded away their 2027 first- and second-round picks, their 2028 second-round pick and their 2029 third-round pick. They also have just $8,000 in 2026 salary cap space, so restructuring the potential new add’s deal would be required. Atkins believes the Rams should consider Josh Downs as the top option due to his ability to beat man coverage and contribute as a returner. Other options, according to Atkins, include Calvin Ridley, Keenan Allen and Jauan Jennings, “for the likely cost of a Day 3 pick.”

Ridley was active after dealing with a hip injury this week, seeing the fourth-most snaps among Titans wide receivers. He finished the game with a drop and one reception. The veteran is a candidate to be traded but has not been offering much by way of fantasy production. Ridley can be left on fantasy benches heading into the Titans’ Week 9 bye.

Ridley entered the week questionable due to a hip injury but will be active after getting in a full practice on Friday. The Titans declared WR Carnell Tate, RB Tyjae Spears, P Tommy Townsend, CB Jaylon Jones, OT Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson, TE Kylen Granson, and DT Jackie Marshall inactive for Week 8 against the Bengals. Ridley will be one of the Titans’ top pass-catchers with Carnell Tate (shoulder) already ruled out, but is not more than a touchdown-dependent fantasy WR4 this week.

Schefter threw out several names, many of whom have already been bandied about as trade candidates. Among the lesser-discussed options, he included Jerry Jeudy and Jauan Jennings in addition to Ridley. All three are veteran wideouts who have simply disappeared in the current iterations of their respective offenses. Even with new landing spots in the cards for the trio, none of them are worth holding onto in standard fantasy leagues. Ridley has five catches for 81 yards this year. He is expected to play through his hip injury today.

He got in a full session on Friday and would seem to be trending towards playing. With Carnell Tate down this week, Elic Ayomanor is probably the Titans dart throw wideout for the desperate against the Bengals if you’re choosing between him or Ridley.

Ridley did not practice once last week. He was listed as questionable on Friday but never appeared likely to suit up and was eventually ruled out ahead of kickoff. Elic Ayomanor popped up for 44 yards on three catches and seven targets in his absence. Ridley’s return will prevent Ayomanor from building any momentum.
