Titans’ Ridley Exits Game with Ankle Injury
Wide receiver Calvin Ridley suffered an ankle injury during the first offensive play of the game. He caught a pass from quarterback Cam Ward but quickly favored his right ankle as he limped off the field. The Titans’ training staff assisted him, and he was later carted to the locker room.
Previous Injury and Season Performance
This injury isn’t Ridley’s first setback of the season. He previously missed time due to a hamstring injury sustained in Week 6. In that game against the Las Vegas Raiders, Ridley played only six snaps before leaving the field.
- Calvin Ridley has made 17 receptions this season, totaling 301 yards.
- Veteran receiver Van Jefferson stepped in to replace Ridley during the game.
Additional Player Injuries
In another development, Titans wide receiver and return specialist Chimere Dike was also ruled out due to a concussion. His injury occurred when he muffed a punt just before halftime. At the time of his injury, Dike was leading the NFL in all-purpose and return yards entering Week 11.
In response to these injuries, running back Julius Chestnut took over as the kick returner for the Titans at the start of the third quarter.
The Titans will need to adjust their game plan moving forward, especially with key players sidelined. Fans and team management alike will be eager for updates on Ridley’s condition as they look to bounce back in their upcoming matches.
