JONNU SMITH NEWS

Misses another practice Smith (knee) didn't practice Thursday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Smith also missed Wednesday's practice, so what the tight end is able to do on the field Friday, if anything, will be telling with regard to his status for Sunday's game against the Browns. Though he logged a 75 percent snap share in the Titans' Week 12 win over the Colts, Smith -- who's scored eight TDs this season -- wasn't targeted in the contest.

FANTASY PLAYS: Players to start and sit for NFL Week 13

Week 13 marks the end of the regular season for most fantasy leagues

DECEMBER 3, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Absent Wednesday Smith wasn't present at the portion of Wednesday's practice that was open to the media, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact During the Titans' Week 12 win over the Colts, Smith handled a normal 75-percent snap share, and he didn't appear to be injured at any point during the contest. The Titans' first official injury report of Week 13 will be released later Wednesday, at which point more information about Smith's situation will be known.

Uninvolved against Colts Smith did not receive a target in Week 12 against Colts.

Impact The Titans attempted only 22 passes in their blowout win over the Colts. That provides a partial explanation for Smith's lack of involvement, though tight ends Geoff Swaim and Anthony Firkser both drew targets in the contest. Like many of the Titans' secondary receivers, Smith commands unreliable volume and now has two or fewer catches six or his last seven games. He'll draw a matchup against Cleveland in Week 13.

Finds end zone early Smith recorded four receptions on six targets for 20 yards and a touchdown in Week 11 against the Ravens.

Impact Smith got the Titans' offense on the board, capping their 79-yard game-opening drive with a one-yard touchdown reception. He also suffered a right ankle injury late in the third quarter but returned to the game with his foot wrapped, John Glennon of BroadwaySportsMedia.com reports. Despite missing some of the action, Smith has found the end zone in two of his last three games. Due to lack of volume, he'll remain a touchdown-dependent option in Week 12 against the Colts.

Scores rushing TD in loss Smith brought in two of six targets for 14 yards and scored a one-yard touchdown on his only rush attempt in the Titans' 34-17 loss to the Colts on Thursday night.

Impact The athletic tight end couldn't do much through the air on a night when Ryan Tannehill threw for just 147 yards, but his first career rushing score in the second quarter helped salvage his fantasy night to an extent. Smith's pass-catching production continues to be hard to trust on a week-to-week basis, however, as he's now recorded no more than two receptions or 32 receiving yards in five consecutive games after posting an 18-221-5 line over his four contests of the campaign. He'll look to bounce back to that caliber of numbers in a Week 11 battle against the Ravens on Sunday, Nov. 22.

Finds end zone Smith recorded two receptions on two targets for 32 yards and a touchdown in Week 9 against the Bears.

Impact Smith was out-targeted by fellow tight end Anthony Firkser, but managed to rack up more yards and find the end zone. His score came midway through the fourth quarter on a play action pass when he was left open leaking off the line from the two-yard line. Despite that production, Smith has had a hard time earning consistent targets since the return of Corey Davis, as he has seen two or fewer targets in three of four contests since Week 6. He'll draw a Week 10 matchup against the Colts.

Catches both targets Smith caught both his targets for 29 yards during Sunday's 31-20 loss to the Bengals.

Impact Smith actually finished behind fellow tight end Anthony Firkser in targets and receiving yards, with both tight ends hauling in a pair of catches. While he was once a focal point in the passing offense, his role has diminished to the tune of four catches (on eight targets) for 51 yards combined over the last three games. This is likely a result of A.J. Brown and Corey Davis both back and producing regularly, which should continue in next Sunday's matchup with the Bears.

Impact Smith battled an ankle injury throughout the week but managed a full practice on Thursday prior to being active for the Week 7 contest. It's unclear if was held back by the injury or tough matchup, but Smith turned in his second consecutive one-catch performance. Prior to this downturn in production, it appeared Smith was in for a breakout season by recording 13 receptions, 181 yards and three touchdowns in the team's first three games. He'll look to get back on track in Week 8 against Cincinnati.
