Tallies four receptions Rogers recorded four receptions on four targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 19-13 loss to Pittsburgh.
Impact Rogers saw a bump in usage due to Julio Jones' (hamstring) early exit, and he managed to record multiple receptions in a game for only the second time in his last nine games. However, snap counts suggest that Rogers remains buried on the depth chart, as he saw less time on the field than both Cody Hollister and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine. Rogers is in danger of sliding further down the depth chart if A.J. Brown (chest) is activated from injured reserve in time for the team's Week 16 matchup against the 49ers.

Another quiet performance Rogers recorded one reception on one target for 13 yards in Sunday's 20-0 win over the Jaguars.
Impact Rogers was projected to lose some opportunity due to the return of Julio Jones, though he still had the chance to produce in the absence of A.J. Brown (chest). However, he's failed to step up among a depleted Titans' receiving corps by racking up only two receptions for 15 yards combined across the last two games.

Disappoints against Patriots Rogers recorded one reception on three targets for two yards in Sunday's 36-13 loss to the Patriots.
Impact Rogers was expected to take on a bigger role in the absence of A.J. Brown (chest), Julio Jones (hamstring) and Marcus Johnson (hamstring). However, he was on the field for only 15 offensive snaps (24 percent) and was inefficient even when given an opportunity. This performance doesn't bode well for Rogers' potential to produce moving forward, particularly given that Jones will be eligible to be activated from injured reserve when the team returns to the field in Week 14 against Jacksonville.

Titans place wide receiver A.J. Brown on injured reserve

Expanded role likely Rogers is likely to serve as a starting receiver for the Titans on Sunday against the Patriots, Jelani Scott of NFL.com reports.
Impact The Titans will be without A.J. Brown (chest), Julio Jones (hamstring) and Marcus Johnson (hamstring) for the game, leaving their wide receiver corps very thin. Though Nick Westbrook-Ikhine appears to be in the best position to capitalize, Rogers managed four receptions for 41 yards Week 11 with Jones sidelined and both Johnson and Brown suffering injuries during the contest. When given an opportunity this season, Rogers has capitalized as he has three contests with four or more receptions.

Sees increased opportunity Rogers recorded four receptions on six targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 22-13 loss to the Texans.
Impact Rogers recorded multiple receptions for the first time since Week 4. He saw an increased role due to the early exit of Marcus Johnson (hamstring) and the multiple injuries suffered by A.J. Brown (chest/finger). He served primarily as a target near the line of scrimmage, with his longest reception of the day going for 12 yards. Unfortunately, Rogers' work as a receiver was overshadowed by a vital mistake he made late in third quarter when he muffed a punt that ultimately set up a touchdown that put the Texans up 19-0. If Johnson remains out for a Week 12 matchup against New England, Rogers would have the chance to step up in the Titans' offense, though Nick Westbrook-Ikhine appears to have the best chance to produce with increased opportunity.

Limited to one catch Rogers recorded one catch on one target for nine yards in Sunday's 23-21 win over the Saints.
Impact Rogers had the opportunity to gain an increased role in the Titans' offense in the absence of Julio Jones (hamstring). Instead, Marcus Johnson recorded a 100-yard game, and Rogers was limited to his fifth consecutive game of either zero or one receptions.

Quiet in return Rogers did not record a reception on his lone target in Sunday's 34-31 win over the Colts.
Impact Rogers returned from a one-game absence caused by a groin injury and appeared to have a chance to contribute in the absence of Julio Jones (hamstring). However, it's possible the injury was still plaguing Rogers, as he had little involvement as a receiver and was out-played by Nick Westbrook-Ikine and Marcus Johnson. Rogers could be a candidate to see more targets in a Week 9 matchup against the Rams if Jones remains sidelined.

Ready to return Week 8 Rogers (groin) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game at Indianapolis, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Impact Meanwhile, Julio Jones (hamstring) is missing his third contest of the season, leaving A.J. Brown, Rogers, Josh Reynolds, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Marcus Johnson as the Titans' available wide receivers for Week 8. Rogers sat out this past Sunday against the Chiefs, but prior to that point he logged at least 40 percent of the offensive snaps in five of six games en route to 14 catches (on 21 targets) for 186 yards and one touchdown.

Limited Thursday Rogers (groin) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports.
Impact Rogers was unable to practice Wednesday, but he returned to the field in a limited capacity a day later. If the 27-year-old is able to suit up against the Colts on Sunday, he could see slightly increased work since Julio Jones (hamstring) and Josh Reynolds (illness) were unable to practice Thursday.

Misses practice Wednesday Rogers (groin) did not practice Wednesday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Rogers already missed the Titans Week 7 contest against the Chiefs. Normally operating as the No. 3 wide receiver and primary slot man, Rogers has 14 catches on 21 targets for 186 yards and a touchdown this season. If Rogers is forced to miss another week, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine will likely take over that role again. This time against the Colts in Week 8.

Not available Week 7 Titans head coach Mike Vrabel said Rogers (groin) won't play Sunday against the Chiefs, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
Impact The Titans have yet to officially release their Friday practice report, but after Rogers' groin injury kept him off the field Wednesday and Thursday, the wideout apparently wasn't able to make enough progress to have a shot at playing this weekend. With Rogers set to miss his first game of the season, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Marcus Johnson are the top candidates to step in as the Titans' No. 3 receiver, though both could end up taking on bigger roles if one of A.J. Brown (illness) or Julio Jones (hamstring) is unable to play.
