While the Tennessee Titans didn’t have a game in Week 7 thanks to a bye, the team did practice during the week and saw the return of one of their wide receivers.
During his media availability on Tuesday, Titans head coach Mike Vrabel revealed wideout Treylon Burks, who has missed the last three games because of a knee injury, practiced in full last week.
Defensive back Elijah Molden (hamstring) and defensive lineman Teair Tart (toe) have both missed multiple games in a row, also, but are expected to practice on Tuesday.
Tennessee won’t release an injury report until Wednesday, so their exact participation levels won’t be known until then.

Molden’s return becomes a bit more important this week, as the 2021 third-round pick may take on a bigger role at safety now that Kevin Byard has been traded to Philadelphia.
Along with Molden, the Titans will take a look at safety Terrell Edmunds, who was acquired in the Byard trade with the Eagles.

Tart’s return will be a boost to a run defense that hasn’t been its elite self in his absence. The Titans could use all the help they can get at receiver with either Malik Willis or Will Levis likely to start in place of an injured Ryan Tannehill.
