Ridgeway (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers. Ridgeway had difficulty putting weight on his right leg when he exited early in the second half. He had been seeing extra work with Sheldon Rankins (knee) inactive; however, now Kurt Hinish should see the bulk of reserve snaps at defensive tackle.

Ridgeway suffered an ankle injury during Sunday's game against the Buccaneers and is questionable to return. The defensive tackle left the field after the first play of the second half and had trouble putting weight on his right leg, per Adam Wexler of SportsTalk 790 in Houston. Ridgeway had been filling in for Sheldon Rankins, who missed Sunday's game with a knee injury. Their absences may open up playing time for third-stringer Kurt Hinish.

Ridgeway (calf) was placed on IR on Wednesday. Ridgeway will miss at least four games as a result of this move, so his earliest return date will be Week 6 against the Saints. Houston is on bye the following week, so there's a good chance the veteran defensive tackle won't play again until Week 8 or later. Ridgeway was injured in the season opener against the Ravens.
