Ridgeway (shoulder) was activated from injured reserve Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houstonreports.

EDGE Analysis

Ridgeway has been sidelined all season after suffering a pectoral injury in mid-August. He has been practicing in full for most of October and should be set for a Week 8 season debut against Tampa Bay.

Ridgeway (shoulder) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Bears.

EDGE Analysis

Ridgeway has been practicing in full for the last two weeks, but he still hasn't been deemed ready to return and remains on injured reserve. He appears to have a good chance to return in Week 8 against the Buccaneers and should have a rotational role along the defensive line.

Ridgeway (shoulder) was a full participant at practice Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Ridgeway practiced in full all week last week before ultimately sitting out in Week 6, so while his activity is a promising sign, it's still no guarantee he'll suit up in Week 7. Until the Saints officially remove him from their injured reserve list, veteran Nathan Shepherd should continue to see increased reps on the defensive line.

Ridgeway (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

EDGE Analysis

Ridgeway drew the questionable tag for Sunday's contest after three consecutive full practices, but the fourth-year defensive tackle will need to wait until at least Week 7 against the Bears on Sunday, Oct. 19 to make his 2025 debut. The 2022 fifth-rounder opened the season on injured reserve due to a shoulder injury that he sustained during training camp in late July.

Ridgeway (shoulder) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Patriots, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Arkansas product logged three consecutive full practice sessions this week but must still be activated to the Saints' active roster in order to play Sunday. Ridgeway logged 251 defensive snaps across 13 appearances in 2024, recording 15 total tackles and one pass defended. If he's activated in time to suit up for the Week 6 matchup, he's likely to play a reserve role on the Saints' defensive line.

Ridgeway (shoulder) practiced fully Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Ridgeway has been on injured reserve since late August and is eligible to return as soon as he's healthy. A full practice is a step in the right direction, but he'll need to be activated from injured reserve before he can return to game action.

The Saints downgraded Ridgeway (shoulder) to out for Sunday's game against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Ridgeway remains on injured reserve, so his 2025 season debut will have to wait at least another week. His 21-day practice window was opened by New Orleans on Wednesday.

Ridgeway (shoulder) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Ridgeway was a full participant at practice both Thursday and Friday, so he may be on the 'probable' end of the questionable designation. If he's able to suit up for the first time in 2025 in Week 5, he projects to fill a rotational role on the defensive line.

Ridgeway (pectoral) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Ridgeway opened the season on injured reserve due to a pectoral injury he suffered during training camp in mid-August. His 21-day practice window opened Wednesday, and while he was able to practice in full Thursday, that doesn't guarantee that he'll be activated from IR ahead of the Saints' home clash against the Giants on Sunday.

Ridgeway (pectoral) was limited in Wednesday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Ridgeway remains on injured reserve but was designated for return Wednesday, opening his 21-day practice window. He's missed the first four games of the season. Ridgeway appeared in 13 regular-season games last season, logging 15 tackles (eight solo) on just 264 defensive snaps.
