Tennessee Titans vs Houston Texans Team News

Tennessee Titans Team News

The Titans, led by head coach Robert Saleh and quarterback Cam Ward, are managing several notable situations on both sides of the ball.

Amani Hooker (S): Remains the team's biggest concern. He did not participate in practice through Thursday as he remains in the NFL's concussion protocol. If he cannot clear the protocol before Sunday, Tony Adams is expected to start in his place.
Tony Pollard (RB): Suffered a foot injury that held him out earlier in the week, but he returned to a full practice on Thursday and is expected to shoulder the bulk of the backfield duties.
Carnell Tate (WR): The rookie receiver, coming off a massive breakout performance (9 catches for 145 yards against Baltimore), was added to the injury report with a back injury and was limited on Thursday.
Defensive Front: Defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons (back) and defensive lineman John Franklin-Myers (back) both returned to a limited practice on Thursday after an initial rest day, which Saleh specified was for general maintenance.
Other Injuries: Tight end Gunnar Helm (knee) and defensive back Marcus Harris (knee/ankle) were limited, while safety Kevin Winston Jr. (shoulder) trained in a yellow non-contact jersey. Positive news comes on the boundary, as cornerback Joshua Williams (pectoral) was designated to return from Injured Reserve and practiced fully.

Houston Texans Team News

Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans has shaken things up this week, taking over defensive play-calling duties in a bid to spark a defense that narrowly lost a 34-30 shootout to Dallas.

Will Anderson Jr. (EDGE): Ankle issues kept him sidelined on Wednesday, but he received a vital upgrade to limited participation on Thursday, pointing towards a likely availability on Sunday.
Tank Dell (WR): Recovering from injury, Dell has had his 21-day practice window officially opened and has been participating on a limited basis as he gears up for a potential game-day return.
Illness Concerns: A sudden illness sweep hit the Texans' offensive line depth on Thursday. Offensive tackles Aireontae Ersery and Blake Fisher, alongside guard Ed Ingram, all missed practice due to sickness, threatening the unit's depth behind quarterback C.J. Stroud.
Linebacker Corps: Azeez Al-Shaair remains limited due to a groin injury, meaning his progress up to Friday's final walkthrough is critical for the second level of Houston's defense.
Roster Upgrades: On a positive note, Jadeveon Clowney, Logan Hall, Kayden McDonald, and Braden Smith all made significant progress, jumping from limited participation on Wednesday to full practices by Thursday.
