Titans’ Calvin Ridley was involved in an incident at Nashville International Airport this weekend, the organization confirmed to WKRN.com.
However, the nature of the incident remains unclear and the Titans would not provide further comment on their veteran wide receiver.
“We are aware of the incident and are in communication with Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority,” the team said in the statement. “We will not be able to comment any further at this time.”
The Titans were on a bye week this weekend.
The 31-year-old has had trade rumors swirl around him as Tuesday’s 4 p.m. trade deadline looms. He is in the third year of a four-year, $93 million deal with the team.
The 1-7 Titans could try to get some draft picks back for the veteran as they look to be tanking in a bad season — and their first with former Jets head coach Robert Saleh.
Ridley has been with Tennessee for three seasons and he is coming off a short year after suffering various injuries, including a hamstring strain and broken fibula.
He only played in seven regular-season games (starting six) and tallied just 303 yards and no touchdowns.
The Alabama product was drafted at 26th overall in 2018 to the Falcons, where he spent four seasons and recorded his career-best year in 2020.
He loged 1,374 yards for nine touchdowns across 15 games. During his rookie season, he had 10 touchdowns which remains a career-best.
In 2022, he was suspended indefinitely from the league for betting on NFL games, including ones involving his own team. Those games occurred in Nov. 2021 while he was on the non-football injury list.
Ridley then went on to spend the 2023 season with Jacksonville before he signed with the Titans as a free agent.
Through seven games this season, he has had six catches for 91 yards with no touchdowns.
