The Facts: The Jaguars are uncertain when the NFL will reinstate Ridley, allowing him officially to join the team, but they remain confident the receiver will play this season. “We really don’t [know], no. We really don’t,” HC Doug Pederson said. “It’s in the league’s hands, but we’re just waiting for that day.”

Diehards Line: The Jaguars traded a 2023 fifth-round selection along with a conditional fourth-rounder in 2024 that could become as high as a second-rounder to the Falcons for Ridley. Ridley, 28, received an indefinite suspension from the league for betting on NFL games in 2021. He officially applied for reinstatement Feb. 15. “That’s in the league’s hands now,” GM Trent Baalke said. “We’re just waiting for the league to issue a statement or make a decision. So there’s nothing imminent that I know of. I have not spoken to the league office in regard to it. So, that’s where it’s at, at this point. ...” Ridley, who made 248 receptions for 3,342 yards and 28 touchdowns with the Falcons, will join a receivers room that includes Christian Kirk and Zay Jones.
