FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Atlanta Falcons receiver Calvin Ridley will not travel to London for Sunday's game against the New York Jets because of an undisclosed personal matter, the team announced Thursday afternoon in a statement.
"We are in support of Calvin during this time and will respect his privacy on the matter," coach Arthur Smith said.
Ridley is one of three Falcons not traveling to England along with receiver Russell Gage (ankle) and defensive lineman Marlon Davidson (ankle).
Ridley, 26, has 27 catches for 255 yards and a touchdown this season and is coming off a seven-catch, 80-yard game against Washington on Sunday.
