The Titans placed Ridley (fibula) on injured reserve Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
Ridley will miss the remainder of the season after suffering a fractured fibula during the Titans' 16-13 loss to the Texans on Sunday. The 30-year-old wideout will finish his second campaign in Tennessee with just 17 catches for 303 yards and no touchdowns on 36 targets over seven games. Though Ridley is on the books through 2027 on a four-year, $92 million contract, he could be designated as a post-June 1 cut this offseason to save $18.7 million in cap space.

In his first game back after missing time with a hamstring injury, Ridley suffered a season-ending injury. In his looming absence, Elic Ayomanor, Chimere Dike and Van Jefferson are next up for the Titans' WR targets, though as Week 12 approaches, Dike is dealing with a chest contusion and Ayomanor a hamstring issue, per Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com.

Titans' Calvin Ridley: Active versus Houston
Rotowire
Ridley (hamstring) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Texans.
Ridley, who had missed three consecutive games prior to the Titans' Week 10 bye, was able to log limited practices Wednesday through Friday, before approaching Sunday's contest listed as questionable. With his availability versus Houston confirmed, barring any setbacks or in-game limitations, Ridley is poised to reclaim his key role in Tennessee's passing offense. Prior to being sidelined, Ridley logged a a 16-290-0 line on 35 targets through five games, plus the six snaps that he saw Oct. 12 before injuring his hamstring.

Titans' Calvin Ridley: Expected to return Sunday
Rotowire
Ridley (hamstring), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup versus Houston, is likely to play, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Ridley missed each of Tennessee's past three games while dealing with an injured hamstring. He was able to log a trio of limited practices Wednesday through Friday following Tennessee's Week 10 bye, and the veteran wideout now seems ready to return to game action. If Ridley does indeed suit up Sunday, Elic Ayomanor, Chimere Dike and the other members of the Titans' wideout corps could each take a step down in the team's pass-catching pecking order.

Titans' Calvin Ridley: Questionable for Sunday
Rotowire
Ridley (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Ridley has missed three consecutive games, but following the Titans' Week 10 bye, the wideout logged limited practices Wednesday through Friday, which gives him a chance to return to action this weekend. Fortunately for those considering Ridley in Week 11 fantasy lineups, Tennessee kicks off at 1:00 p.m. ET on Sunday. If Ridley is limited or out versus Houston, however, Chimere Dike, Elic Ayomanor and Van Jefferson would be in line to continue to see added WR opportunities.

Titans' Calvin Ridley: Another limited practice
Rotowire
Ridley (hamstring) remained limited at practice Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
After logging back-to-back limited sessions, Ridley, who has missed the Titans' past three contests, is trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's game against the Texans. Friday's injury report will reveal whether the wideout is able to upgrade his participation level, as well as his injury designation (or lack thereof) ahead of Week 11 action.

Titans' Calvin Ridley: Limited in practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Ridley (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Ridley has missed three consecutive games, in which span he didn't practice at all, but coming off Tennessee's bye he appears to have made notable progress in his recovery. If the veteran wideout is able to upgrade to full practice reps Thursday and/or Friday, he could avoid an injury designation entirely for Sunday's home game against the Texans. That said, across six regular-season appearances so far Ridley is averaging just 48.3 receiving yards, and he remains without a touchdown on the year. Especially against a difficult opponent in Houston, he will remain difficult to rely on for fantasy purposes even if cleared to retake the field.

Rotowire
Ridley (hamstring) is slated to practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Prior to sustaining his hamstring injury, Ridley recorded a 16-290-0 receiving line on 35 targets through five full games and the six snaps he saw Oct. 12.

Rotowire
Ridley (hamstring) wasn't spotted at practice Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Ridley, who has yet to practice since being forced out of Week 6 action after just six snaps, has just one more chance to do so Friday before the Titans post their Week 8 injury statuses.

Rotowire
Ridley (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Titans' Calvin Ridley: Not practicing Wednesday
Rotowire
Ridley (hamstring) wasn't spotted at practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site and Turron Davenport of ESPN.com report.
Ridley was forced out of this past Sunday's 20-10 loss to the Raiders with a hamstring injury after logging just six snaps. The wideout now has two more opportunities to practice ahead of this weekend's game against the Patriots, but if Ridley ends up limited or sidelined, added snaps/targets would be available for Van Jefferson, who stepped into an expanded role in Week 6 following Ridley's departure.

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: 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.

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: 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: 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.
