Trending towards playing Sunday Hopkins (knee) is expected to play Sunday against the Bears, but the team could restrict his playing time, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.comreports.

Impact It appears that the team will be leaving it up to Hopkins' discretion how much he plays as it seems like a pain tolerance situation. The 32-year-old described his preseason injury as an "MCL tear" although the Titans haven't confirmed that information. Hopkins is expected to see a heavy dose of Bears' All-Pro corner Jaylon Johnson in what's expected to be a relatively low-scoring affair.

Game-time decision at Chicago Hopkins (knee) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's game against the Bears, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact Hopkins is officially listed as questionable, but his status may not be known until 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 pm. ET kickoff in Chicago. The team has concerns over the veteran wide receiver's conditioning level, as he missed extensive practice time while recovering from a knee injury over the past six weeks. Treylon Burks would be the top candidate for increased reps on the outside if Hopkins is ruled out Sunday.

Questionable for Week 1 Coach Brian Callahan noted Friday that Hopkins (knee) is questionable for Sunday's season opener against the Bears, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact Hopkins has been limited at practice this week as he bounces back from a knee injury, with Turron Davenport of ESPN.com relaying that Callahan indicated the process of making sure Hopkins gets his work in while also balancing his knee issue has been smooth. At this point, Davenport suggests that the biggest concern for the wideout -- who practiced without a protective sleeve on his leg Friday -- is related to his conditioning. Fortunately for those considering Hopkins in Week 1 lineups, the Titans kick off at 1:00 ET on Sunday. If he's limited or out this weekend, Treylon Burks would likely see added work versus Chicago alongside Calvin Ridley and Tyler Boyd.

Another limited practice Hopkins (knee) remained limited at practice Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact Per Turron Davenport of ESPN.com, Hopkins -- who was also limited Wednesday -- worked with a sleeve on his left leg during Thursday's session. The veteran wideout now has one more opportunity to practice fully ahead of Sunday's season opener against the Bears, but it's worth noting that offensive coordinator Nick Holz indicated Thursday that if Hopkins does play in Week 1, he's expected to have a sizeable role, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Limited practice participant Hopkins (knee) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, John Glennon of NashvillePost.com reports.

Impact The Titans haven't said much about Hopkins since Aug. 18 when head coach Brian Callahan told reporters he expected the wideout to be ready for Week 1. Hopkins suffered a knee strain at the end of July, with a reported timeline estimate of 4-6 weeks, and it's still best to view him as uncertain for the season opener at Chicago this Sunday. Progression to full practice participation Thursday or Friday would erase most of the doubts surrounding his status.

At practice Wednesday Hopkins (knee) was present for practice Wednesday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Impact It's a good sign that Hopkins is on the field as the Titans begin their practice week ahead of Sunday's season opener against the Bears. The team's upcoming practice report will add further context regarding the wideout's Week 1 status by revealing his participation level Wednesday.

Expected to practice Hopkins (knee) is expected to practice Wednesday, but coach Brian Callahan said he's unsure how much the wide receiver will do, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports.

Impact It sounds like Hopkins will be a limited participant as he works his way back from the knee strain he suffered at the end of July. There was no report of any practice participation throughout August, so it's possible the Titans restrict his workload this Sunday at Chicago if he ends up playing. Should Hopkins end up inactive, WR Treylon Burks would figure to fill in alongside Calvin Ridley and Tyler Boyd.

AUGUST 21 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Expected to be ready for Week 1 Titans head coach Brian Callahan said Sunday that the team expects Hopkins (knee) to return in time for the regular-season opener, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Hopkins was diagnosed with a strained knee in early August with a return timeline of 4-to-6 weeks. Callahan said Sunday that the expectation is that the receiver will be back "soon," so he appears to be trending toward the early end of that timeframe. Hopkins is expected to work alongside Calvin Ridley as part of a veteran starting wideout duo when healthy.

Won't need surgery Titans head coach Brian Callahan confirmed Saturday that Hopkins (knee) will be out "several weeks" and indicated that the receiver won't require surgery, Ben Arthur of FoxSports.c...

Impact Hopkins' initial diagnosis for his strained knee indicated he could miss 4-to-6 weeks, and that timeline seems to be accurate given Callahan's comments. In positive news, the fact that Hopkins won't require surgery suggests that the injury isn't likely to sideline Hopkins beyond the first week or two of the regular season, if he misses any games at all. It's still unclear whether Hopkins could be ready for Week 1, but if he does miss regular-season time, Treylon Burks and Tyler Boyd would be the most obvious candidates for increased volume on offense.
