While the Houston Texans secured a 16-13 win over the Tennessee Titans, the 1-9 roster from Nashville lost twice, with the first coming during the opening drive.
Wide receiver Calvin Ridley suffered a broken fibula in Sunday’s loss and will miss the rest of the season. Interim head coach Mike McCoy confirmed the news following the game.
Ridley, who had missed three games with a lower-body injury, caught a pass from rookie Cam Ward on Tennessee’s first offensive play of the game for a first down. He was seen limping off the field before heading over to the training staff to ask for medical attention. The former first-round pick was later carted off just before the start of the second quarter for further evalutiation.
For the season, Ridley has caught 17 passes for 301 yards. The Titans could try to move him this offseason as they continue to try to shed cap sapce for the future to build around Ward with the third coaching staff in four years.
The Texans, meanwhile, saw their No. 1 receiver, Nico Collins, catch nine passes for 92 yards and score on a 3-yard touchdown pass from Davis Mills in the third quarter. His season total moved to 642 receiving yards and four touchdowns in nine games.
The Texans return home to take on the Buffalo Bills this Thursday at 7:20 p.m. on Amazon Prime.
