Don't be too sure. When did it become apparent Ridley had a knee injury? I didn't hear anything about it 'til he started missing practice.
Actually, we heard the opposite. Reports were Ridley's injury wasn't serious and not a big deal. It ended up to be serious enough for him to miss an entire week of practice and a game.
Yeah, the reports I heard about Ridley were that it actually wasn't his knee in the traditional "knee injury" sense, but more of his lower thigh.
Supposedly, it was a lower thigh/very top of the knee bruise which started to flare up during the beginning of practice on Wednesday so they treated him during the Wed practice session. It's quite possible that the doctors and trainers felt that a couple/few days rest were his best option, or even exactly what he needed.
I didn't get the sense that it would be something that would keep him out more than a week, maybe two at the very most. We'll have to hope that this is all there is to it.
