Jets running back Stevan Ridley returned to the practice field this week. Now, he’s hoping to return to the game field against his old team, the Patriots, on Sunday.
“The story couldn’t be written any better,” Ridley said. “I’m fired up about it. It’s my distant family. I’ve got so many friends that are over there. … I don’t think you could make a movie any better than that.”
Ridley began the season on the physically unable to perform list. He underwent knee surgery last year as a member of the Patriots. New England let him walk as a free agent, which has him eager to play this weekend.
