FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — The Atlanta Falcons will be without one of their star wide receivers for their last three games.
The team announced Calvin Ridley suffered an abdominal injury and will be out for the remainder of the season. The team did not specify what kind of abdominal injury.
The second-year wide receiver from Alabama started in 10 games this season and had 63 receptions for 866 yards and seven touchdowns.
Ridley injured himself in Sunday's 40-20 win over the Panthers. He finished with five catches for a touchdown and 76 yards before he left the game.
Ridley thanked the fans for their support in an Instagram post Monday.
