The last time we saw Calvin Ridley play in an NFL game was in October 2021. It’s been a while, but he’s finally set to return after being reinstated by the league.
Although he hasn’t played much in recent years, Jacksonville Jaguars fans are already in party move over Ridley’s return.
After the NFL reinstated him, the Jaguars receiver released an official statement, per John Shipley.
"I have great respect for the game and am excited for the opportunity to restart my career in Jacksonville. I look forward to showing my new coaches, teammates, and the entire Jaguars organization exactly who I am and what I represent as a player and person."

From the sounds of it, Ridley is just ready to get back on the field. Additionally, Jacksonville is ready for him too. The social media team released a cool edit welcoming him back from suspension.
