Calvin Ridley did not play on Sunday, with the Falcons characterizing the absence as a personal matter, the second time in the last three games that has happened. Speculating about what was going on with Ridley seemed like a bad idea—I don’t know about you, but I don’t want people trying to figure out what kind of struggles I might be having in my personal life—but I think every Falcons fan was wondering if Ridley was okay and what was going on nonetheless.
We still don’t know, and if Ridley is as private about his life as I think he is, we may never know.
