Atlanta Falcons wide receiver and former Alabama star receiver, Calvin Ridley, took to Instagram to announce that he will be missing the remainder of the 2019 NFL season with an abdominal injury.
He suffered the injury in the Falcons’ Week 14 win over the Carolina Panthers.

Ridley appears to be in good spirits in his Instagram caption, already looking forward to next season, nut is upset he won’t see the field for a while.
The Falcons are in no position to make the playoffs, as they have a record of 4-9 and sit in last place in the NFC South.
Despite this injury, Ridley has had a great sophomore season.
In 2019, he’s totaled 63 receptions for 866 yards and seven touchdowns – he managed to have more yards this season than he did in his rookie season in far fewer games played in.
It’s clear that the Falcons value what they have in the Alabama product and plan on keeping him safe. It’s only a matter of time before he reaches fellow teammate and Alabama alum’s status of an elite receiver in the NFL.
