Three touchdowns in 2024 Vannett recorded 17 receptions on 20 targets for 135 yards and three touchdowns across 17 games in 2024.

Impact Vannett has been a depth option for most of his career and that didn't change in 2024. However, he posted his most receptions, yards and touchdowns since 2018 while playing 374 offensive snaps. Vannett will be a free agent this offseason and is likely to land another short-term deal.

Makes lone catch count Vannett recorded one reception on one target for eight yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Jaguars.

Impact Vannett played a minimal role on offense, as he was on the field for just 12 offensive snaps.

Vannett now has 15 receptions on the season, three of which have gone for touchdowns.

Will play vs. Bolts Vannett (neck) was a full participant in Friday's practice and does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Impact Vannett was listed on Thursday's injury report with a neck issue, but it doesn't appear to be a serious issue as he was able to practice in full Friday and should be good to go for Week 10. Vannett has logged 10 catches (on 11 targets) for 78 yards and two touchdowns through eight regular-season games as the Titans' No. 2 tight end behind Chigoziem Okonkwo.

Pops up on injury report Vannett (neck) was listed as a limited practice participant Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact Vannett played 34 snaps on offense during the Titans' Week 9 overtime win over the Patriots and finished with two catches for 33 yards and one touchdown. While he was able to practice in full Wednesday, he was limited in Thursday's session due to a neck issue, which puts his status in question for Sunday's game against the Chargers. If Vannett is unable to play, Josh Whyle would figure to step into the No. 2 tight end behind starter Chigoziem Okonkwo.

Catches second touchdown Vannett recorded two catches on two targets for 33 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-17 overtime win against the Patriots.

Impact Vannett has maintained around a 40 percent offensive snap rate in recent weeks, though his role is primarily as a blocker. That changed briefly early in Sunday's win, as he leaked off the line of scrimmage on a play-action pass and found the end zone from 10 yards away. It was his second touchdown of the season, though Vannett has also been held without a catch in four of eight contests.

Perfect on four targets Vannett recorded four receptions on four targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Bills.

Impact Vannett saw both his second-highest snap total and rate of the season and got involved as a pass catcher early in the game. His longest gain of the day went for 11 yards, and he managed to record a double-digit yardage total in a game for the second time on the campaign.

Finds end zone Vannett recorded two catches on two targets for nine yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-14 loss to the Packers.

Impact Vannett has played on roughly 25 percent of offensive snaps each game this season, serving primarily as a blocking option. However, he managed a two-yard touchdown catch midway through the first quarter after getting open in the back of the end zone. Vannett may occasionally serve as an option in the red zone or short areas of the field, but his statistical impact is likely to remain minimal overall.

Will play Sunday Vannett (back) is active Sunday against the Broncos.

Impact Vannett has been nursing a back injury the last couple of weeks, but he'll continue to play through the injury again in Week 17. With Donald Parham (coach's decision) once again inactive, the Ohio State product should be the Chargers' No. 3 option at tight end.

Set to play Saturday Vannett (back) is active for Saturday's contest against the Bills.

Impact Donald Parham is a healthy inactive for this contest, meaning Vannett and Stone Smartt should mix in on occasion behind Gerald Everett. Vannett has played 37 offensive snaps combined over the past two weeks.

Missing Week 12 Vannett (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Ravens.

Impact The veteran tight end was held out of practice all week with a concussion, so it's not a surprise that he'll be inactive for Week 12's contest. Vannett has appeared in three games with the Chargers since signing with the team's active roster in early November, playing 59 total snaps (34 offensive and 25 on special teams).
