Report: Calvin Ridley ankle injury does not seem serious

The Atlanta Falcons look to have avoided the worst with the injury to rookie standout Calvin Ridley.

The wide receiver left Sunday’s game with an ankle injury and will undergo an MRI on Monday, but appeared to be walking on the injury without much difficulty after the game.

#Falcons standout rookie WR Calvin Ridley, who left today’s game with an ankle injury, will have an MRI tomorrow, source said. But the fact that he was walking on it well is a good sign it’s not serious.

Ridley has been one of the standout offensive players in the NFL this season, entering the week with a league-leading six touchdown receptions. The Falcons will be hoping that his absence is brief, if there is one at all.
