Biggest questions for Titans ahead of matchup vs. Texans

The six biggest questions for the Titans going into their Week 17 matchup against the Texans.

The Tennessee Titans are set to do battle with the Houston Texans in Week 17 for the second time this season, with the matchup coming at NRG Stadium.

These two teams last met a few weeks ago, when the Titans were upset by a C.J. Stroud-less Texans team that was led by veteran Case Keenum.

The Titans have been notoriously poor on the road this year, with the team sporting a 1-6 mark. Tennessee is 1-7 away from Nissan Stadium in total when you include the London game.

But that one win came a few weeks ago when the Titans pulled off one of the biggest upsets of the 2023 season by beating the Miami Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium.

On the flip side, Tennessee hasn’t won back-to-back road games since Weeks 4 and 5 of last season.

As we do every week, let’s take a look at the biggest questions the Titans are facing in advance of their Week 17 matchup against Houston.

Ranking Arkansas’ 10 best wideouts under Kenny Guiton

Treylon Burks is No. 1, obviously. But who are the other nine of the 10 best wideouts to play for Kenny Guiton at Arkansas?

Arkansas wide receivers have been a steady bunch for most of the last decade plus, even if the Razorbacks’ results haven’t always been great.

With news breaking Tuesday night that Arkansas wide receivers coach Kenny Guiton was set to become Wisconsin wide receivers coach Kenny Guiton, the natural question followed: Will any of his wideouts accompany him to Madison?

It’s too early to know for sure, but a rapport must have been built with some as Guiton held the Arkansas gig for three seasons. He even took over running the entire offense for the back half of 2023 after coach Sam Pittman fired offensive coordinator Dan Enos.

Guiton, however, played at Ohio State when current Badgers head coach Luke Fickell was a coach, albeit a defensive one, with the Buckeyes.

So, as we can’t predict a transfer portal entry, let’s look backward instead of forward. Let’s look to what Guiton accomplished with his bunch over those three years.

These are the 10 best wide receivers – through those three seasons, mind you (we know Isaiah Sategna fans; he’ll be here soon enough) – to play for Guiton at Arkansas.

Stock up, stock down for Titans going into Week 16

Shaun Calderon lists the Titans players and coaches who either hurt or helped their stock the most in Week 15.

The Tennessee Titans lost a disappointing overtime contest to a division rival for the second time in three weeks after dropping their Week 15 game against the Houston Texans, 19-16.

Tennessee has now lost seven straight division games dating back to last season, secured its second-straight losing season and is now officially eliminated from playoff contention with a 5-9 record.

The good news is, the Titans only have three games remaining before they can shift their focus on trying to rebuild this team back to relevancy in what will be one of the most crucial offseasons in franchise history.

As you can imagine, there were several viable candidates for this week’s stock report, especially when it comes to those who lowered their stock.

However, I decided to focus on the two who I feel lowered their stock the most. I also decided not to include Derrick Henry since he was in last week’s article, even though he certainly lowered his stock even more following his nine-yard performance.

On the contrary, there were a few players who raised their stock despite the loss. So, let’s find out who fell into which category ahead of a Week 16 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks on Christmas Eve.

7 biggest questions for Titans going into Week 15

The seven biggest questions for the Titans going into their Week 15 game against the Texans.

The Tennessee Titans and Houston Texans enter their Week 15 matchup at Nissan Stadium on completely opposite sides of the spectrum in terms of momentum.

Tennessee is riding very high after pulling off what was the biggest upset of the 2023 NFL season over the Miami Dolphins. Meanwhile, the Texans are coming off their worst performance of the campaign, and they have some injury concerns with their best players.

This is also a big game for the Texans in terms of their playoff positioning. Houston currently sits in eighth place in the conference but has three teams with an identical 7-6 record breathing down their neck.

The Titans are still mathematically in it, but they’ll need a bigger miracle than they one they pulled off on Monday night in order to make the postseason.

Now, a look at the seven biggest questions the Titans are facing going into their Week 15 matchup against the Texans.

Titans’ Treylon Burks on latest concussion: ‘I don’t recall really much from Pittsburgh’

Titans WR Treylon Burks touched on his most recent concussion before practice on Wednesday.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks made his return to the field in Week 13 after missing three contests due to a concussion. The 2022 first-round pick played 10 snaps, with the team easing him back in.

Thankfully, Burks said he’s feeling better after the scary injury and thanked head coach Mike Vrabel and the rest of the staff for how they handled the situation.

“I would say I feel good,” Burks said, per Jim Wyatt. “Things happen, but keep going about the way that I am, and let God take care of the rest… I think (coach Vrabel) he handled it the best way for the team, and for my safety. All I can do is keep leaning on (coaches and trainers) and my teammates, and doing whatever is right for the team and myself.”

The Arkansas product admitted he doesn’t really remember anything from the Week 9 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He’s since watched the replay and chalks the concussion up to a “bad fall.”

“I ain’t going to lie to you – I don’t recall really much from Pittsburgh,” Burks said. “Other than I heard we didn’t win that game.”

“Really just a bad fall,” he added. “There was really nothing I could do to prevent it.”

That’s obviously very concerning for the wideout’s well-being, but Burks said he isn’t thinking about that right now and is just focused on going out and playing football.

“I don’t really think about it that much,” Burks said. “I just go out there and play the game, and whatever is in God’s (plan) it happens, and I know that He’ll take of (me) from here on out.

“I have been feeling better ever since, and I am just ready to get out and do what I do. It is hard (to miss), being a football player, when you love the game, missing games is not fun at all. So, it has been hard, but I am thankful that I am back in the position I am, to play.”

It has been a disappointing season for Burks, who hasn’t produced much when on the field. He’ll look to do his best to turn that around over the final five games.

Titans’ Week 13 snap counts: Treylon Burks plays sparingly in return

Analyzing the Titans’ snap counts from their Week 13 loss.

The Tennessee Titans welcomed back wide receiver Treylon Burks in Week 13 but lost three starters to injury during the contest.

Running back Derrick Henry (concussion) exited in the fourth quarter, and defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons (knee) and punter Ryan Stonehouse (knee) were lost in the third quarter.

On top of those three, rookie tight end Josh Whyle (knee) left the game in the fourth quarter.

Henry is reportedly in the concussion protocol as of Monday, and Whyle and Simmons have both reportedly avoided season-ending injuries. As for Stonehouse, it appears he suffered a serious injury.

So, how many snaps did Burks play in his return? And how did the Titans fill the voids left by their injured players?

Find out now as we analyze the Titans’ snap counts from Week 13.

Titans WR Treylon Burks expected to play in Week 13

Titans WR Treylon Burks is reportedly expected to play in Week 13.

The Tennessee Titans are reportedly getting one of their wide receivers back in Week 13, as second-year wideout Treylon Burks is expected to play.

The news comes from ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler. Burks has missed the past month due to a concussion suffered in the Week 9 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

It has been a very disappointing season for Burks up until this point. Once pegged as a potential breakout candidate, Burks has missed a total of six games this season and hasn’t produced much when on the field.

The Arkansas product has eight catches for 122 yards in five games and 70 of those yards came on one catch in Week 2 versus the Los Angeles Chargers.

As of right now, wide receiver is one of the Titans’ biggest needs going into the 2024 offseason, mostly because the team can’t depend on Burks after what has transpired over his first two years.

It may be too late for Burks to change that, but he can at least provide some hope for his third season if he can stay healthy and finish strong.

Biggest questions for Titans ahead of Week 13 game

Six questions for the Titans ahead of their Week 13 game against the Colts.

The Tennessee Titans will have revenge on their minds in Week 13 when they host the Indianapolis Colts at Nissan Stadium on Sunday. This is the second meeting between these teams, with the first coming in Week 5 when Indy topped Tennessee, 23-16.

Neither team will have their starting quarterback from that game, as the Colts lost Anthony Richardson to a season-ending injury in that contest and the Titans have since given the keys to the car to rookie Will Levis.

While Levis has certainly given hope, it hasn’t translated to much success for the Titans overall. Tennessee is 2-3 with Levis under center and the team remains in the cellar of the AFC South.

Meanwhile, the Colts are in the midst of an impressive season with Gardner Minshew at quarterback. Indy is riding a three-game winning streak and sits in second place in the division with a 6-5 mark.

Now, a look at the biggest questions for the Titans ahead of their Week 13 matchup against the Colts.

Titans injury updates: Treylon Burks, Sean Murphy-Bunting, more

Some Titans injury updates ahead of their Week 12 game against the Panthers.

As if things couldn’t get any worse for the 2023 Tennessee Titans, who currently sport a 3-7 record and are on the fast track to a lost season, Tennessee is also dealing with some injuries.

The Titans’ offensive line suffered a big blow on Monday night when it was reported that right tackle Chris Hubbard would likely miss the rest of the season due to a biceps injury.

Hubbard, who reportedly plans on playing next season as he prepares to turn 33, was a pleasant surprise for Tennessee overall after winning the job out of training camp, basically by default.

With Hubbard on the shelf, the Titans are likely to deploy rookie Jaelyn Duncan at right tackle after he played well in a small sample size versus Jacksonville.

The Titans should do their best to give that job to Duncan the rest of the way, barring his being an absolute disaster. Tennessee has to see what it has in its younger players before a 2024 offseason in which the Titans are likely to make massive changes on both sides of the ball.

On Monday, head coach Mike Vrabel provided injury updates on some of Tennessee’s wounded. Here’s what he had to say about offensive tackle Andre Dillard, wide receiver Treylon Burks and cornerback Sean Murphy-Bunting.

Tyson Campbell out, Zay Jones questionable vs. Titans

The Jaguars ruled out two and listed four players, including Zay Jones, as questionable.

The Jacksonville Jaguars ruled out return specialist Jamal Agnew and cornerback Tyson Campbell for a Week 11 contest against the Tennessee Titans and listed another four players as questionable.

The statuses of wide receiver Zay Jones, offensive tackle Anton Harrison, defensive lineman Roy Robertson-Harris, and wide receiver Parker Washington are all up in the air.

Jones, who has been in the headlines this week after his Monday arrest, has been out of action since re-injuring his knee in Week 5.

With Campbell out of action, the Jaguars will turn to second-year cornerbacks Montaric Brown and Gregory Junior to fill the void. The absence of Agnew will likely mean Washington is activated from the injured reserve Saturday to take over return duties.

The Titans ruled out three players and listed two as questionable. Cornerback Sean Murphy-Bunting and offensive tackle Andre Dillard are the two most significant losses for Tennessee.

Dillon Radunz is expected to be the starting left tackle Sunday in Dillard’s place.
