Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley tweaked his  right hamstring early in the second padded practice of training camp on Thursday.

Ridley was stretched out by the training staff.

“”It’s a tightened hamstring,” Falcons coach Dan Quinn said after practice. “We felt he looked good and we just felt that at this space when guys are really pushing it to make it anything that could go longer. I expect him back (at the) next (practice).”

The Falcons have Friday off and will return to practice on Saturday.
