Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley was involved in an incident at an airport over the weekend during the team's bye week. The exact details of the incident have not been made public at this time.
When asked about Ridley's airport incident, Titans head coach Robert Saleh remained vague with his response. Per Titans beat writer Jim Wyatt, Saleh described it as a “minor miscommunication” and that it is now in the hands of law enforcement.
The Titans (1-7) are on a bye in Week 9. They are coming off a tough 43-36 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 8. Calvin Ridley played in that game and finished with one catch for 10 yards.
A former first-round pick by the Atlanta Falcons, Ridley has had a disappointing time with the Titans after signing a four-year, $92 million deal with them in free agency in 2024. He had a promising debut season with 64 catches for 1,017 yards and four touchdowns.
However, he was limited to only seven games last season after suffering a broken leg. He finished with six catches for 91 yards. And this year has been the worst of his eight-year NFL career. Through seven games, he has only caught six balls for 91 yards with no touchdowns.
Amid his poor play, Ridley has been the subject of trade rumors away from Tennessee following the Titans trade of Jeffery Simmons to the Chicago Bears. But with this latest airport incident, it remains to be seen whether any team will still take a chance on him before the trade deadline.
