Calvin Ridley missed Jets game for mental health break

Atlanta’s Calvin Ridley unexpectedly missed the trip to London to face off against the New York Jets in Week 5. The Falcons nonetheless came away with a decisive win despite missing both Ridley and Russell Gage. The team was tight-lipped about Ridley’s missed game, with fans unsure of why Ridley missed the game or when to expect him to return.

Ian Rapoport had the scoop on Ridley, and in what is becoming quite common around the league, Ridley took time off to get himself in the right mental spot.

From @NFLGameDay: #Giants RB Saquon Barkley is out today and has an outside chance at next week.
