Tennessee (5-2) won't have seven-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Julio Jones, who will miss his third game with a hamstring injury. Jones started last week and caught two passes for 38 yards before leaving the Titans' win over the Chiefs.
The Titans also will be without fullback Khari Blasingame (knee).
They initially ruled running back Darrynton Evans out with a knee injury, then put him back on injured reserve soon after issuing an injury report Friday. That ends Evans' season under NFL rules. The third-round pick out of Appalachian State in 2020 just came off injured reserve and played his lone game of the season last week.
Evans has played in six games so far in his career because of injuries.
Starting defensive lineman Teair Tart (groin), cornerback Chris Jackson (foot), offensive tackle Kendall Lamm (ankle) and linebacker Rashaan Evans, who was added to the injury report Friday with an ankle issue, all are questionable.
Safety Amani Hooker (groin) is expected to play after missing last week's game with a groin injury.
