Titans release first injury report ahead of Week 8 game vs. Falcons

Here’s a look at the Titans’ Week 8 injury report following Wednesday’s practice.

The Tennessee Titans have a massive Week 8 game on the horizon against an Atlanta Falcons team that currently sits in first place atop the NFC South.

Tennessee is coming off a much-needed bye week in which they finally got to rest and reflect. It certainly seems to have helped from a health standpoint. The Titans fielded a pretty healthy team on the practice field on Wednesday. Only quarterback Ryan Tannehill (ankle) and tight end Josh Whyle (concussion) were absent from today’s practice.

Meanwhile, after missing the last few games with lower body injuries, wide receiver Treylon Burks, defensive back Elijah Molden, defensive lineman Teair Tart and linebacker Luke Gifford all returned to the practice field without any limitations on Wednesday.

Barring any setbacks, you’d have to imagine this is a good sign towards their potential return on Sunday.

On the relatively concerning side of things, it should be noted that starting center Aaron Brewer was in a yellow non-contact jersey during today’s practice. Meanwhile, cornerback Roger McCreary eventually left practice to go inside with the training staff.

Those two bear watching as the week progresses.

But for now, let’s take a closer look at Wednesday’s official injury report ahead of Sunday’s Week 8 matchup with the Falcons.

Titans release first injury report ahead of Week 6 game vs. Ravens

Here’s a look at the Titans’ Week 6 injury report following Wednesday’s practice.

The Tennessee Titans officially began their preparations ahead of their massive overseas showdown with the Baltimore Ravens.

Head coach Mike Vrabel admitted that the Titans did get some early work in on Tuesday to make up for the day of practice they’re likely going to lose due to their lengthy trip to London on Thursday/Friday.

However, we didn’t get the first official injury report until this afternoon, and there were some notable names absent from Wednesday’s practice.

Among the most notable names missing were wide receiver Treylon Burks, defensive back Elijah Molden, linebacker Luke Gifford and defensive linemen Jeffery Simmons and Teair Tart.

It will be interesting to see how each of these players progresses with each passing day as we inch closer to game day. Burks, in particular, has missed the last two games, so getting him back would be a much-needed boost to an offense that desperately needs a viable sidekick out wide to complement DeAndre Hopkins.

Unfortunately, that appears to be a long shot at this point, but things could certainly change over these next few days.

As for the rest of the injury report, let’s take a closer look at where things stand after today’s practice.

Titans release first injury report ahead of Week 5 game vs. Colts

Here’s a look at the Titans’ Week 5 injury report following Wednesday’s practice.

The Tennessee Titans are in the midst of preparing for their massive AFC South battle with the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.

Both of these teams have mirroring 2-2 records heading into this game, and there’s a chance that the winner of this one could be in sole possession of first place in the division by the end of the weekend, should things go in their favor.

Unfortunately, the Titans have a few question marks from a health standpoint. Defensive lineman Teair Tart, wide receiver Treylon Burks and linebacker Luke Gifford were all absent from Wednesday’s practice.

However, keep in mind that Tennessee tends to use Wednesday as a ramp-up period for injured players by allowing them to either rest completely or limit them for the day.

Therefore, the injury reports on Thursday and Friday will give us some better clarity as to where everyone is trending.

On a positive note, offensive lineman Peter Skoronski finally made his return to practice on Wednesday after missing the last three games because of an emergency appendectomy that he suddenly needed due to his appendix rupturing.

Skoronski’s status definitely bears watching for the rest of the week because his presence would immediately give the offensive line a positive jolt to the entire offense.

As for the rest of the injury report for both teams, let’s take a close look at where everybody stands after the first official practice of the week.

Titans release first injury report ahead of Week 4 game vs. Bengals

Here’s a look at the Titans’ Week 4 injury report following Wednesday’s practice.

It’s officially time to put last week’s disastrous game behind us and shift our focus toward the Tennessee Titans’ showdown with the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 4.

This has sneakily become one of the more underrated rivalries over the last couple of years, although the Bengals have certainly dominated it thus far, winning all three matchups since the start of 2020.

Tennessee is looking to end the streak on Sunday in a game both teams desperately need in order to avoid a 1-3 start to the 2023 season.

Both teams are experiencing their fair share of injuries heading into this one. The Titans had several notable absences from Wednesday’s practice, including offensive lineman Peter Skoronski, defensive lineman Teair Tart, defensive back Elijah Molden and linebacker Luke Gifford.

However, keep in mind that Wednesday is usually the day Tennessee tends to either ramp up injured players or let them rest altogether. Therefore, the injury reports on Thursday and Friday will give us a much more clear indication of how everyone is doing.

As for the Bengals, they’re starting the week off relatively healthy, with only three names listed as of Wednesday.

Let’s find out who they are, as well as the rest of the Titans’ injury report.

Titans WR DeAndre Hopkins’ Week 2 status in doubt vs. Chargers

Titans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins’ status is in doubt for Sunday’s game against the Chargers.

Titans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins’ status is in doubt for Sunday’s game against the Chargers.

Hopkins has been nursing an ankle injury and was a non-participant at practice on Wednesday and Thursday.

Hopkins, who signed a two-year deal worth $26 million this offseason, was one of the few bright spots on offense in Week 1. He was by far Ryan Tannehill’s favorite target, finishing the game with 65 yards on seven catches.

Not having Hopkins would be a considerable loss for Tennessee, who struggled offensively in their loss to the Saints. This would be a break for the Chargers secondary, however.

If Hopkins can’t go, second-year Treylon Burks would be positioned to be the team’s No. 1 wideout this weekend. Burks only had two receptions for 18 yards this past Sunday.

The Titans will release their final injury report on Friday, which will give us a better idea of whether Hopkins will be available this weekend.

Titans release first injury report ahead of Week 2 game vs. Chargers

Here’s a look at the Titans’ Week 2 injury report following Wednesday’s practice.

Now that the Tennessee Titans’ players, coaches, and fans have had a few days to digest their gut-wrenching Week 1 loss,  it’s time to officially turn the page toward the team’s Week 2 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Tennessee held its first practice of the week on Wednesday, and there were some notable names who popped up on the injury report for a variety of different reasons.

Prior to practice, head coach Mike Vrabel indicated that wide receiver Treylon Burks wouldn’t be in attendance for the day due to a personal matter. However, he is expected to be back by tomorrow.

Other than him, Tennessee was also without DeAndre Hopkins and Amani Hooker on Wednesday, so those two definitely bear watching as the week progresses. The Titans also had three limited participants, Kristian Fulton, Tyjae Spears and Teair Tart.

The good news is both Dillon Radunz and Tre Avery practiced in full, which is a positive sign that they’re likely nearing their return at some point in the near future after both missed last weekend’s game.

As for the rest of the injury report, let’s take a look at how it’s shaping up following the team’s first practice of the week.

Titans to be short-handed vs. Chargers

The Titans are missing a handful of starters.

The Chargers have had their fair share of injuries to key players this season.

The Titans are currently dealing with their own and will be short-handed when they come to town this Sunday as a result.

Defensive tackle Denico Autry, cornerback Kristian Fulton, safety Amani Hooker and wide receiver Treylon Burks were ruled out on Friday.

Tennessee is already without offensive tackle Taylor Lewan, edge defender Harold Landry, linebacker David Long Jr. and cornerback Elijah Molden, who are on injured reserve.

The Titans have lost their last three games, and the primary reason why they have struggled to pick up a win is because of their pass defense.

Tennessee is allowing the second-most passing yards per game (283.7) and has not produced a turnover in that span.

Not having Autry on the field has been the difference-maker, as he leads the team in sacks (seven). His partner-in-crime, Jeffery Simmons, has played, but an ankle issue has still hampered him.

Because of the lack of pass rush and vulnerable secondary, quarterback Justin Herbert could be in for a field, especially since he has wideouts Keenan Allen and Mike Williams at his disposal again.

Allen and Williams combined for 18 catches on 20 targets for 208 yards and a touchdown in Week 14.

Burks, the Titans’ 2022 first-round pick, has shown great flashes. He has 25 receptions for 359 yards and a touchdown in eight games this season. But he remains in concussion protocol.

Chargers’ final injury report ahead of matchup with Titans

Chargers star safety Derwin James is doubtful.

The Chargers had their final practice on Friday before the Week 15 matchup with the Titans.

Los Angeles will likely be without star safety Derwin James for the second-straight week as he continues to recover from a quad injury.

James is listed as doubtful.

“Progressing. He’s been doing workouts and stuff like that. I know he’s feeling better. We’ll see about this game, but definitely improving,” head coach Brandon Staley said on James’ status.

Cornerback Bryce Callahan (groin), defensive tackle Sebastian Joseph-Day (knee/back) and offensive tackle Trey Pipkins (knee) are questionable.

Callahan, Joseph-Day, Pipkins, and tight end Donald Parham, were all full participants on Friday.
