The Tennessee Titans have confirmed that starting wide receiver Calvin Ridley (hamstring injury) and defensive end Arden Key (quad strain) will miss the Week 7 matchup against the New England Patriots. The team has not yet provided a timeline for their return, but both players are expected to be sidelined for at least a week. The Titans’ coaching staff will need to adjust their game plan to compensate for the loss of Ridley and Key, who are key contributors to the team’s offense and defense.
Ridley, a second-year player, has been a vital part of the Titans’ receiving corps, providing a reliable target for quarterback Ryan Tannehill. His absence will force the team to rely on younger players or less experienced wideouts to fill the gap. Key, who has been a strong presence in the defensive line, will also be missed as the team looks to contain New England’s dynamic offensive attack. The Titans’ leadership will be closely monitoring the health of these key players as they prepare for the game.
Although the Titans are expected to be without Ridley and Key, they remain confident in their ability to compete against the Patriots. Head coach Mike Vrabel has emphasized the importance of team depth and preparation as they navigate through the challenges of the season. The team is also hopeful that Ridley and Key will be able to return in time for the following week’s matchup. The situation highlights the importance of player health and the impact that injury setbacks can have on a team’s performance in the NFL.
