Tennessee Titans tight end Delanie Walker has been sidelined for the past three weeks with an ankle injury, but is getting closer to returning to the field.
He’s listed as doubtful on the team’s latest injury report for this week, so only time will tell if he’s in the starting lineup on Sunday.
The tight end says he’s “not sure” what the weekend will look like.
“Yeah, I would say maybe it would be better to be on the cautious side, yes,” Walker said of his recovery. “I am getting close. I am on the field and that is always a good thing when you can run. But I don’t want any setbacks so we’ll see what happens.”

Walker noted in an interview with Titans Wire earlier in the month that he thought pass-catcher Jonnu Smith had done a solid job in his place.
Heading into Sunday’s game against Jacksonville, Smith has reeled in 22 receptions for 287 yards with one touchdown.
Smith recorded four receptions for 30 yards in the Titans’ most recent win, with his lone score of the year coming during Week 8’s 27-23 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The Titans and Jaguars are set to kick off at 3:05 p.m. CT on Sunday in Nissan Stadium.
