Ridley, who excelled in his last NFL season by starting all 17 games for the Jacksonville Jaguars while recording 76 catches for 1,016 yards and eight touchdowns, is poised to boost the Titans’ offense. Tennessee is probably just happy to get him out of the division as an opponent. Ridley torched the Titans with 13 catches for 209 yards and three scores in two games last season.

His addition is particularly significant for the team’s young quarterback, Will Levis, offering a reliable target. Ridley’s performance is noteworthy, especially considering his comeback from a broken foot, a mental health hiatus, and a suspension related to gambling that sidelined him for much of the two preceding years.
