JORDAN WILKINS NEWS

Moves to active roster Wilkins was elevated from the Titans' practice squad Saturday.

Impact The Titans opted not to activate Derrick Henry (foot) off injured reserve, which set the stage for Wilkins to make his first appearance with another AFC South squad. Don't expect the lumbering Wilkins to see a significant amount of carries unless the Titans see a sizable lead Sunday in the quest to lock up the No. 1 seed.

Finds new home Wilkins signed with the Titans' practice squad Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact Wilkins needed about 24 hours to find a new job after he was cut from the Jaguars practice squad Tuesday. The four-year veteran was let go by the Colts on Oct. 30 after his role had turned nonexistent behind Jonathan Taylor, Nyheim Hines and undrafted rookie Deon Jackson. Not to mention the veteran Marlon Mack, who is still on the roster. Wilkins will work to make an impact in Tennessee and find his way to the active roster.

Gets cut Tuesday Wilkins was cut from the Jaguars' practice squad Tuesday.

Impact Wilkins signed with the Jaguars on Nov. 8 after he was waived by the Colts on Oct. 30, in the middle of his fourth year with the club. In a corresponding move the Jaguars signed running back BJ Emmons to their practice squad.

Lands with Jacksonville Jacksonville signed Wilkins to its practice squad Monday.

Impact The 27-year-old went unclaimed off waivers after being cut loose by Indianapolis following last week's trade deadline, but he didn't take long to find a new home elsewhere. Though he won't immediately be added to the 53-man roster, Wilkins could be a candidate to join the Jaguars in Week 10 for a game against his former team if lead back James Robinson (heel) is sidelined for a second straight contest. Carlos Hyde, Dare Ogunbowale and Devine Ozigbo currently are the healthy backs in Jacksonville.

Recovered from illness Wilkins has recovered after being inactive with an illness in Week 7.

Impact The running back was estimated as a full participant in Wednesday's walkthrough practice and is expected to be active in Week 8 versus the Titans. Wilkins is still unlikely to make any offensive impact as the fourth option behind Jonathan Taylor, Nyheim Hines and Marlon Mack.

OCTOBER 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Sunday Wilkins (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at San Francisco.

Impact Wilkins has missed the past two games while battling the illness, and he'll be sidelined again for this weekend. The 27-year-old will need to return to practice in some capacity before having a chance to return to game action.

OCTOBER 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Missing from practice Wilkins (illness) wasn't spotted on the field for Wednesday's practice, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

Impact Wilkins hasn't practiced since Oct. 7 due to the illness, missing two games along the way. Unless he gets back on the field in some capacity Thursday and/or Friday, he'll likely find himself on the Colts' inactive list again Sunday in San Francisco.

OCTOBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play in Week 6 Wilkins (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Impact Wilkins will try to feel better in time to play against the 49ers in Week 7. He's a distant fourth on the Colts' backfield depth chart behind Jonathan Taylor, Nyheim Hines and Marlon Mack, so Wilkins will need an injury or two in front of him to take on a meaningful role once he's healthy again.

OCTOBER 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Still not practicing Wilkins (illness) didn't participate at Wednesday's practice.

Impact Wilkins was inactive for Monday's loss to the Ravens due to an illness, and he still hasn't been cleared to practice. It's unclear when the 27-year-old is expected to retake the field.

Misses practice Wilkins was a non-participant at Friday's practice due to an illness.

Impact Wilkins was a full participant at Thursday's practice, so he presumably began feeling under the weather after that time. More clarity on his status will be gained via Saturday's practice report.

OCTOBER 9, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

No snaps on offense Wilkins did not have a carry or target in Sunday's loss to Seattle. He played 15 snaps, all on special teams.

Impact Neither Wilkins nor Marlon Mack played a snap on offense, which shows that the coaching staff is set on giving Jonathan Taylor and Nyheim Hines large workloads. Both Wilkins and Mack may have little role in the offense unless Taylor or Hines gets hurt.

SEPTEMBER 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Five carries Saturday Wilkins had five carries for 20 yards and two receptions for two yards in Saturday's preseason win over Minnesota.

Impact Wilkins will likely have a reserve role and sits fourth on the running back depth chart, but he's been given larger opportunities at times by the coaching staff. Over his 15 regular-season appearances in 2020, Wilkins logged 84 carries for 308 yards and a touchdown while also securing 12 of 16 targets for 105 yards.

Back in action Wilkins (hamstring) returned to practice Friday, George Bremer of The Anderson Herald Bulletin reports.

Impact Wilkins had been held out of practice since Tuesday due to a minor hamstring injury, but he's now been given the green light to rejoin teammates on the field. The 2018 fifth-round pick handled a career-high 84 carries last season, though though his YPC dropped down to 3.7 after sitting at 5.6 and 6.0 in 2018 and 2019.

Sits with hamstring injury Wilkins missed practice Tuesday with a hamstring injury, the Indianapolis Star reports.

Impact Wilkins left Monday's practice with the injury, but the specific reason wasn't known until Tuesday. The injury is likely minor, but it's worth monitoring his progress. Wilkins will likely have a reserve role and sits fourth on the running back depth chart, but he's been given larger opportunities at times by the coaching staff.

AUGUST 4, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Exits with undisclosed injury Wilkins left Monday's practice with an undisclosed injury, Joel A. Erickson of the Indianapolis Star reports.

Impact The injury is likely minor, but it's worth monitoring his progress. Wilkins will likely have a reserve role and sits fourth on the running back depth chart, but he's been given larger opportunities at times by the coaching staff. Over his 15 regular-season appearances in 2020, Wilkins logged 84 carries for 308 yards and a touchdown while also securing 12 of 16 targets for 105 yards.

Off COVID list The Colts activated Wilkins from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.

Impact Wilkins missed Indianapolis' final two games of 2020 after being placed on list, but he's now eligible to return to the team facility. Over his 15 regular-season appearances in 2020, Wilkins logged 84 carries for 308 yards and a touchdown while also securing 12 of 16 targets for 105 yards.

Colts place RB Jordan Wilkins on COVID-19 list Jordan Wilkins goes on the COVID-19 list.

JANUARY 3, 2021 • USATODAY.COM

Shifts to COVID list Wilkins was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Sunday and will be unavailable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

Impact This development seemingly comes out of the blue, as the 26-year-old back was able to participate throughout the practice week with no restrictions. Wilkins will have a chance to make another appearance if the Colts reach the playoffs, but he'll have to clear league COVID-19 protocols before doing so. He closes out the regular season with 308 yards and a touchdown over 84 carries, plus a total of 12 receptions for 105 yards in 15 appearances. As a symbol of his reliability, Wilkins also went without a fumble for a second straight season.

JANUARY 3, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Receives no offensive work Wilkins registered two solo tackles during Sunday's 28-24 loss to Pittsburgh.

Impact Wilkins received all of his work on special teams, registering 14 snaps in that department compared to zero on offense. The 26-year-old has by no means been relied upon as the workhorse this season for Indianapolis, but he has produced brief stretches of fantasy utility in 2020. Wilkins racked up 113 scrimmage yards and a touchdown on 21 touches in Week 8 against Detroit. While he then proceeded to average 6.8 carries per game in the five outings that followed, Jonathan Taylor has now seized the No. 1 job, and Wilkins has gone back-to-back contests without taking a single offensive snap.

DECEMBER 30, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

No offensive snaps Sunday Wilkins didn't log a snap on offense in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Texans.

Impact Jonathan Taylor and Nyheim Hines handled all of the backfield reps in Sunday's divisional win, and both running backs enjoyed plenty of success in the process. Wilkins has fallen out of favor as a result, as he didn't play a snap on offense for the first time this season.
