This may come as a bit of surprise to some. Dorf had him listed as making the team on his 53 man roster prediction but ultimately Ridley’s presence would have come on the heels of being one of those final guys in contention.
Ridley’s release opens the door for George Winn, Zach Zenner and Dwayne Washington battling it out for those final two running back spots behind Ameer Abdullah and Theo Riddick.
