Saints' John Ridgeway: Dealing with pectoral injury
Ridgeway is currently working through a pectoral injury, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Ridgeway had just returned to practice a couple of weeks ago after having been dealing with an undisclosed injury earlier in the summer but is now sidelined once again. He recorded 15 tackles (eight solo) across 13 games with the Saints last season and is competing for a spot as a backup defensive tackle on the team's final roster.

Saints' John Ridgeway: Returns to practice
Ridgeway (undisclosed) returned to practice with the Saints on Saturday, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Ridgeway suffered an undisclosed injury at practice Wednesday, but he was able to return to the field just a few days later. The defensive lineman is looking to secure a spot on the Saints' 53-man roster ahead of the 2025 season, and being healthy ahead of the team's preseason opener against the Rams on Aug. 10 is a positive turn of events for the 26-year-old.

Saints' John Ridgeway: Suffers injury
Ridgeway suffered an undisclosed injury at practice Wednesday, John Sigler of Saints Wire reports.
Heading into his second season in New Orleans, Ridgeway has suffered an early setback. This injury could prove costly if it sidelines him for an extended period, as the 26-year-old is fighting for a backup defensive tackle role in what is a crowded depth chart. Ridgeway appeared in 13 regular-season games in 2024, tallying 15 tackles.

Saints' John Ridgeway: Inactive versus Panthers
Ridgeway (oblique) will not play in Sunday's matchup with the Panthers.
Ridgeway has not played more than 36 percent of the defensive snaps in any game this season, so his being inactive is not expected to have much of an impact defensively. His next opportunity to suit up will come in Week 10 versus the Falcons.

Saints' John Ridgeway: Traded to Saints
Ridgeway was traded from the Commanders to the Saints along with a 2025 seventh-round draft pick in exchange for a 2025 sixth-round draft pick Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
The addition of Ridgeway gives New Orleans some insurance on the interior of the defensive line, as starting defensive tackle Khalen Saunders recovers from a calf injury that could impact his Week 1 availability. Ridgeway appeared in 32 games for Washington over the previous two seasons, notching 55 tackles (30 solo).

Commanders' John Ridgeway: Will play vs. Cowboys
Ridgeway (foot) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game versus the Cowboys.

Commanders' John Ridgeway: Still dealing with foot injury
Ridgeway (foot) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Ridgeway was able to play through his foot issue in Sunday's loss versus the 49ers, so any limitations at this point may simply be maintenance-related. If he is able to practice in full Thursday or Friday, he'll likely avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Commanders' John Ridgeway: Ready to go for Week 16
Ridgeway (foot) will be active Sunday versus the Jets, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official website reports.
Ridgeway has been dealing with a foot injury that he suffered last week, but he'll be able to play Week 16 against New York. The defensive lineman recorded three tackles in the team's Week 15 loss to the Rams.

Commanders' John Ridgeway: Sustains pregame injury
Ridgeway (foot) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, Sam Fortier of The Washington Post reports.

Commanders' John Ridgeway: Cleared from injury
Ridgeway (shin) was a full participant during practice Wednesday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Ridgeway left the team's loss to the Dolphins in Week 13 early but is good to go following the team's bye week. He should serve his usual depth role on the interior of the Commanders' defensive line against the Rams on Sunday.
