Ridgeway played seven games last season after coming over from Indianapolis in exchange for a 7th round draft pick. He began the year as the fourth member of the DT rotation, then started five games alongside Fletcher Cox when Malik Jackson and Tim Jernigan went down. Later, Ridgeway suffered an ankle injury and went on injured reserve for the rest of the year.
He logged two sacks, eight tackles, and four tackles for loss while adding four QB hits. As long as the ankle is fine, Ridgeway is a good depth piece on the interior defensive line with Jackson and Cox both returning.
