HASSAN RIDGEWAY NEWS

Heads to IR Ridgeway (Achilles) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact The 29-year-old defensive tackle suffered a torn right Achilles during the Texans' Week 9 win over the Buccaneers, so it's no surprise that he's been placed on IR. Ridgeway was able to appear in only three games this year, recording six total tackles. Kurt Hinish is expected to see more work on the Texans' defensive line with Ridgeway missing the remainder of the season.

Questionable to return Ridgeway suffered an ankle injury during Sunday's game against the Buccaneers and is questionable to return.

Impact The defensive tackle left the field after the first play of the second half and had trouble putting weight on his right leg, per Adam Wexler of SportsTalk 790 in Houston. Ridgeway had been filling in for Sheldon Rankins, who missed Sunday's game with a knee injury. Their absences may open up playing time for third-stringer Kurt Hinish.

Returns from IR The Texans activated Ridgeway from the injured reserve Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact Ridgeway was placed on IR after sustaining a calf injury in Week 1. He was designated to return Wednesday after logging a practice session and will be available for the Texans' Week 8 contest against the Panthers.

Designated to return from IR Ridgeway (calf) was designated to return from injured reserve and was a limited participant at the Texans' practice Wednesday.

Impact Ridgeway has been unavailable since Sept. 13 after he suffered a calf injury in Week 1 versus the Ravens. The defensive tackle will now have a 21-day window to return to the active roster or he'll remain on IR until the end of the season. His ability to practice Wednesday bodes well for his chances to play sooner rather than later.

Lands on IR The 49ers placed Ridgeway (pectoral) on injured reserve Thursday.

Impact Ridgeway will finally head to IR after he suffered a pectoral strain in Week 13 versus Miami. The seventh-year defensive tackle will now have to miss at least the remaining four regular-season games, though his 6-to-8-week recovery timeline likely figures to keep him out through the first week of the playoffs. With Kevin Givens also expected to miss multiple weeks after spraining his MCL in Week 14, backups T.Y. McGill and Akeem Spence should be in line for larger roles alongside Arik Armstead moving forward.

Out 6-8 weeks San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan said that Ridgeway will miss 6-8 weeks after suffering a pectoral strain in Sunday's 33-17 win over the Dolphins, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports...

Impact Ridgeway will now likely land on IR while recovering from this injury, which should sideline him for the remainder of the regular season. However, it's plausible the 28-year-old could return in time for a potential run in the postseason, as the 49ers currently sit atop the NFC West standings at 8-4. Ridgeway has slotted in alongside Kevin Givens as the team's starting defensive tackles for much of the season, so it's likely Arik Armstead (foot/ankle) will step up into this role after returning from a seven-game absence Week 13.

Sustains pectoral injury Ridgeway exited Sunday's win over Miami due to a pectoral injury, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Ridgeway logged three tackles (one solo) during Sunday's game but was removed from the matchup in the second half. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available next Sunday against Tampa Bay.

No limitations Wednesday Ridgeway (quadriceps) was a full participant at Wednesday's practice, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Impact Ridgeway has been dealing with the quadriceps strain for the past few weeks, but he's now back at practice with no limitations. The 27-year-old recorded 20 tackles, two sacks and one forced fumble in 17 games with the Eagles in 2021, and he should compete for a rotation role with the 49ers.

AUGUST 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

May return to practice soon 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said Saturday that he's hopeful Ridgeway (quadriceps) will be able to return to practice this week, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Ridgeway has been sidelined ever since he picked up a mild quad strain during the early stages of San Francisco's training camp in late July. Shanahan said at the time of this injury that the 27-year-old would miss a couple weeks with this injury, so his potential return to activity just over two weeks later seems to fit this initial timeline. Once healthy, Ridgeway figures to compete with Robert Nkemdiche and Kevin Givens this preseason for a rotational role at defensive tackle behind Javon Kinlaw and Arik Armstead

AUGUST 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Will miss some time San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan said Ridgeway will be out a couple of weeks with a mild quad strain, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Ridgeway sustained the injury during Friday's training camp sessions, though its relatively minor nature is unlikely to affect his long-term status. This comes after fellow defensive linemen Maurice Hurst suffered what should be a season-ending biceps injury and Arik Armstead sprained his right knee, which is likely to keep him out for a few weeks as well. This rash of injuries should lead to a valuable increase in training camp reps for Javon Kinlaw, Kalia Davis, Kevin Givens and Robert Nkemdiche -- all of whom may now end up having to play larger roles than expected this preseason.
