Details emerge on Calvin Ridley’s bizarre airport incident

Details have surfaced this week on the airport incident involving Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley.

Over the weekend, Ridley was reportedly at the center of a bizarre incident at the Nashville International Airport in Nashville, Tenn. The Titans confirmed that an incident involving Ridley had taken place and that they were in the process of gathering more information on the situation.

On Monday, Austin Stanley of A to Z Sports shared the details on what exactly transpired. Ridley allegedly got into a verbal and physical altercation with an airport valet driver on Nov. 7 that started when Ridley was attempting to retrieve his vehicle, only to discover that the valet service had lost his ticket.

Stanley adds that Ridley grew frustrated when the valet would not hand back the keys to his vehicle and is alleged to have grabbed his keys from the valet, causing a cut to the valet’s hand in the process. The injured valet then sought to press assault charges against Ridley.

It is reportedly unclear if charges have actually been filed at this point and what will ultimately become of those charges if they indeed get filed. You can read Stanley’s full report on the situation here.

The 1-7 Titans were on a bye this week and did not have a game. Ridley, the 31-year-old former All-Pro, is in his third season with Tennessee but has caught just six passes for 91 yards and zero touchdowns through seven games. Set to become a free agent after the 2027 season, Ridley has also been the subject of trade rumors ahead of the Nov. 10 NFL trade deadline.
