Ridley (hamstring) won't return to Sunday's game against the Raiders.
Ridley thus ends his day with one catch (on one target) for 18 yards, while Elic Ayomanor, Chimere Dike, Tyler Lockett and Van Jefferson will handle the Titans' WR duties in his absence for the remainder of the contest. Ridley's next chance to see game action will arrive Oct. 19 against the Patriots.

Titans' Calvin Ridley: Sleeper WRs
Rotowire
Ridley finally had a breakout game with Cam Ward in Week 5 at Arizona with five catches for 131 yards on 10 targets, and I'm hoping he can build off that performance in Week 6 against the Raiders. Las Vegas is No. 4 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers, and six guys have scored at least 14.6 PPR points against the Raiders this year. Ridley and Elic Ayomanor are worth using as No. 3 Fantasy receivers in the majority of leagues, given this matchup on the road.

Titans' Calvin Ridley: Finally gets on track
Rotowire
Ridley recorded five receptions on 10 targets for 131 yards in Sunday's 22-21 win over the Cardinals.
Ridley entered Sunday's game having recorded only 141 yards combined across his first four games of the season. He finally got on track against the Cardinals, accounting for the Titans' three longest plays from scrimmage with receptions of 47, 38 and 25 yards. His longest two came at particularly opportune times, as he helped set up a touchdown early in the fourth quarter before getting Tennessee into field-goal range to attempt the game-winning kick as time expired. It will still be difficult to consistently trust Ridley given his start to the season, but it was encouraging to see him display some rapport with Cam Ward.

Titans' Calvin Ridley: Active for Sunday's game
Rotowire
Ridley (knee/elbow) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
After logging a 54 percent snap share in the Titans' 26-0 loss to the Texans in Week 4, Ridley registered consecutive DNPs Wednesday and Thursday before working in a limited capacity Friday and then being deemed questionable for Sunday's contest. Ultimately, Ridley will be able to give it a go, though if he's limited at all, or suffers any setbacks versus Arizona, Tyler Lockett, Chimere Dike and Van Jefferson would see added WR opportunities alongside Elic Ayomanor. Through four games, Ridley has compiled a modest 10/141/0 receiving line on 24 targets, while Ayomanor has recorded a 12/151/2 line (on 25 targets) in that same span.

Titans' Calvin Ridley: On track to play vs. Arizona
Rotowire
Ridley (knee/elbow) is trending toward being active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Ridley is working through knee and elbow injuries, which caused him to miss the first two practices of the week before logging a limited session Friday to earn the questionable tag. The veteran wideout looks to be available for Week 5, though official word on his status may not come until the Titans announce their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff. Ridley played just 27 snaps on offense during the Titans' Week 4 loss to the Texans, so he could see limited playing time against the Cardinals if he were to play, which would lead to more opportunities for Elic Ayomanor, Tyler Lockett, Chimere Dike and Van Jefferson. Ridley and the Titans offense are off to a slow start to the 2025 regular season, with the 2018 first-rounder tallying 10 catches (on 24 targets) for 141 yards through four games.

Titans' Calvin Ridley: Questionable after limited practice
Rotowire
Ridley (knee/elbow) was limited in his return to practice Friday.
After logging back-to-back DNPs Wednesday and Thursday, Ridley was able to work in a limited capacity Friday before being deemed questionable for Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET contest against the Cardinals. Look for added context regarding the wideout's status to arrive late Saturday or early Sunday via national reporters like ESPN's Adam Schefter and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, but if Ridley is limited or out this weekend, WRs Tyler Lockett, Chimere Dike and Van Jefferson could see added Week 5 opportunities alongside Elic Ayomanor.

Titans' Calvin Ridley: Questionable for Week 5
Rotowire
Ridley (knee/elbow) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Arizona, John Glennon of NashvillePost.com reports.
Ridley's workload was scaled back to 54 percent Week 4 against the Texans, and his absences from practice Wednesday and Thursday were attributed to knee and elbow issues. According to Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site, Ridley was present at Friday's session, but his status for Week 5 action now won't be known until about 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff.

Titans' Calvin Ridley: Misses another practice Thursday
Rotowire
Ridley (knee/elbow) was listed as a non-participant in practice Thursday.
Though Ridley didn't practice for a second straight day, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com notes that the wideout was in uniform Thursday working on a side field. What Ridley is able to do Friday will thus loom large with regard to his chances of suiting up Sunday against the Cardinals. Through four games to date, Ridley has compiled a modest 10-141-0 receiving line on 24 targets.

Titans' Calvin Ridley: Sits out practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Ridley (knee/elbow) didn't practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Coach Brian Callahan revealed Monday that Ridley played through an injury in Sunday's 26-0 loss to the Texans, en route to logging a season-low 54 percent snap share. Now we know that the wideout is managing knee and elbow issues ahead of this weekend's game against the Cardinals. Ridley has two more chances to practice before the Titans' Week 5 injury designations are posted Friday. If he's limited or out versus Arizona, Tyler Lockett, Chimere Dike and Van Jefferson would be candidates for added snaps alongside Elic Ayomanor.

Titans' Calvin Ridley: Snaps dialed back due to injury
Rotowire
Coach Brian Callahan said Monday that Ridley had his snaps dialed back during Sunday's loss to the Texans due an undisclosed injury, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
After playing at least 86 percent of the offensive snaps during each of the Titans' first three games, Ridley was on the field for just 54 percent against Houston. It translated into yet another disappointing box score for the 30-year-old wideout, as he finished with just two catches for 30 scoreless yards on three targets. Ridley has yet to find the end zone this season and has been held to 30 yards or fewer in three of four contests. In total, Ridley has an ugly 10-141-0 line on 24 targets. Among wide receivers with at least 10 targets this season, Ridley's 41.7 percent catch rate is fifth worst at the position. It's unclear if the undisclosed injury will hamper Ridley at all next Sunday against the Cardinals.

Titans' Calvin Ridley: Struggles continue
Rotowire
Ridley recorded two receptions on three targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 26-0 loss to the Texans.
There was some reason for mild optimism about Ridley's performance to begin Sunday's game, as he hauled in his first two targets -- one of which went for a 22-yard gain. However, he was targeted only once and went without a catch in the second half to continue an abysmal season. Ridley now has 30 receiving yards or fewer in three of four games, and he has converted only nine of his 24 targets into receptions as Cam Ward and the Titans' passing game remains horribly out of sync.

Titans' Calvin Ridley: Disastrous showing in loss to Colts
Rotowire
Ridley recorded one reception on seven targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 41-20 loss to the Colts.
The Titans continue to prioritize Ridley in their offense, as he led the team in targets Sunday. However, he struggled with drops and lacked rapport with Cam Ward, which led to the poor showing. Ridley has now been held to under 30 receiving yards in two of three games this season despite earning a minimum of six targets in every contest.

Titans' Calvin Ridley: Out of sync with Ward
Rotowire
Ridley recorded four receptions on eight targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 20-12 loss to the Broncos.
Ridley led the Titans in targets and receptions, but he was not efficient with his chances and was slightly out of sync with Cameron Ward. The duo connected for a 13-yard gain early in the fourth quarter, Ridley's longest catch of the day. However, he had a few passes glance off his hands later in the contest as the Titans tried to mount a comeback, and Ridley had a particularly costly drop on the team's final offensive possession. While it was a disappointing opening line, Ridley should be in for better performances moving forward thanks to his secure role in the Titans' offense.

Titans' Calvin Ridley: Good to go
Rotowire
Ridley isn't listed on the injury report for Week 1 at Denver, John Glennon of NashvillePost.com reports.
Ridley missed some practice time in mid-to-late August due to what was described as general soreness. The Titans' top wideout is unsurprisingly ready for the season opener, facing a tough matchup against CB Patrick Surtain and the Denver defense in Cameron Ward's first NFL start.

Titans' Calvin Ridley: Expected to be ready Week 1
Rotowire
Coach Brian Callahan said over the weekend that Ridley (soreness) is on pace to be ready for Week 1 against the Broncos on Sunday, Sept. 7, Nick Suss of The Tennessean reports.
Ridley has missed practice time during training camp with what the Titans have termed as "general soreness," but it doesn't sound like his availability for the start of the regular season is in question. He played 11 offensive snaps in the Titans' preseason opener and caught all three of his targets for 50 yards. He's expected to command the lion's share of the targets in Tennessee's passing game this season.

Titans' Calvin Ridley: Clicking with Ward
Rotowire
Ridley recorded three receptions on three targets for 50 yards in Saturday's 29-7 preseason loss to the Buccaneers.
Ridley played two offensive possessions, with Cameron Ward under center for both. Ridley was a key contributor to the latter drive, connecting with Ward for gains of 27, 13 and 10 yards, easily leading the team in receiving yards. Ridley will almost certainly remain Ward's primary target come the regular season, and their connection got off to a positive start Saturday.

Titans' Calvin Ridley: Walks off due to cramps Wednesday
Rotowire
Ridley was unable to finish Wednesday's practice due to his right calf cramping up, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Ridley continued to demonstrate a strong rapport with rookie quarterback Cam Ward prior to his departure, which occurred near the end of practice. The No. 1 wideout held his calf after a play and left the field to be evaluated by Tennessee's medical staff, though wide receiver coach Tyke Tolbert confirmed Ridley was dealing only with cramps, per Nick Suss and Nick Gray of the Nashville Tennessean. While it's possible the Titans take precautions and give Ridley a rest day Thursday, the veteran wideout doesn't appear to be dealing with any actual injury. The 30-year-old is locked in as Ward's unquestioned top target this season, putting him in prime position to tally a third consecutive 1,000-yard campaign, with the hope of increased production due to improved O-line and QB play.

Titans' Calvin Ridley: Showing rapport with Ward
Rotowire
Ridley caught several deep passes from Cameron Ward during Saturday's practice, Nick Suss of The Tennessean reports.
Ward aired out several deep pass attempts during the practice session, hitting Ridley on a 40-yard shot as he was covered by Roger McCreary. Ridley also made a diving catch later on another deep route, displaying rapport early on in camp with his rookie quarterback. Given the projected improved offensive line and quarterback play around him in 2025, Ridley should be in a good position to post his third consecutive 1,000 receiving-yard season.

Titans' Calvin Ridley: Expectations rise for 2025
Rotowire
Ridley is reenergized for his second year with the Titans after the team selected Cam Ward with the first overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Ridley had a successful opening season with the Titans, surpassing 1,000 receiving yards for the third time in his career. That achievement was made more impressive by the fact that he suffered from inconsistent quarterback play from Will Levis and Mason Rudolph, something that the team hopes to have remedied with the selection of Ward. Wyatt noted that Ridley has taken to mentoring the rookie quarterback, developing rapport with him that could translate to more production come the regular season.
