Designated to return The Titans designated Rice (Achilles) to return from the reserve/PUP list Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

The 2021 third-round pick recorded 36 tackles and one pass defended before missing the final six games of last year with an Achilles injury. Rice will be eligible to suit up again starting with this Sunday's game against Washington.

Burks' injury forcing Titans to tap next receiver up again

Logs limited practice Wednesday Hooker (concussion) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Hooker missed the team's Week 4 win over the Colts due to a concussion, but he appears to be making progress and could return to action in Week 5, though he'll likely have to log at least one full practice in order to do so. Through the first three weeks, Hooker totaled 12 tackles, two pass defenses and one interception while playing the majority of the Titans' defensive snaps.
OCTOBER 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Ready to return Amadi (ankle) was a full participant in practice Wednesday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Amadi has missed each of the last two games after suffering the injury in Week 2's loss to the Bills. After logging a full practice, he should be good to go Sunday against the Commanders.

No practice Wednesday Cunningham (elbow) didn't practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Impact Cunningham suffered the elbow injury during the team's Week 3 win over Las Vegas and was sidelined for Week 4. He's trending towards a second straight absence, but he'll have two more opportunities to practice before the Titans need to make a decision on his status for Sunday's matchup against the Commanders.

Misses practice with turf toe Burks (toe) isn't practicing Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Impact Burks is expected to miss at least a game or two, though he hasn't officially been ruled out, after exiting the Week 4 win over Indianapolis with an injury that's reportedly been diagnosed as turf toe. Players often return from the injury in fairly short order, but there is a high risk of recurring problems with the affected foot/toe thereafter. An early bye in Week 6 could affect the Titans' thinking here, potentially allowing Burks to get two weeks of rest with just one missed game before returning to practice after the bye and attempting to play. If he does indeed miss the upcoming game against Washington on Sunday, the Titans have Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Kyle Philips as the top candidates for WR snaps behind No. 1 receiver Robert Woods.

Seven tackles in win Long posted seven tackles (four solo), including one for loss, and a pass defense during Sunday's 24-17 win over the Colts.
Impact Long has played every defensive snap for the Titans in three games this season, and he's notched at least seven tackles in each of those contests. Across four games, he has 25 stops and is on track to match his career-high 75 stops, which he set in just 10 games during the 2021 campaign.

Team-high eight tackles Cole registered eight tackles (five solo), including one for loss, during Sunday's 24-17 win over the Colts.
Impact With Zach Cunningham (elbow) out, Cole notched season highs in defensive snaps (26) and tackles (eight). If Cunningham remains out for an extended period, Cole could emerge as a reliable IDP option moving forward.

Perfect again Bullock made his lone field-goal attempt and all three of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Colts.
Impact Bullock made a 44-yard field goal in the second quarter to put the Titans up 17-3, his only major contribution to the victory. He hasn't been asked to do much in recent weeks, but he has not missed a kick since missing a game-winning attempt in Week 1. For the season, Bullock has made four of his five field-goal attempts and all nine of his extra-point attempts.
OCTOBER 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Not targeted in win Swaim was not targeted in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Colts.
Impact Swaim played 40 offensive snaps, which led the Titans' tight end corps. However, he failed to command a target, which isn't all that surprising given his primary duties are as a blocker. Through four games this season, Swaim has six receptions for 38 yards and a touchdown.
OCTOBER 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
One catch against Colts Hooper recorded one catch on one target for four yards in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Colts.
Impact Hooper played only 20 offensive snaps, half the mark of Geoff Swaim. More concerning was the increased snap rate for Chigoziem Okonkwo, who played 13 offensive snaps and also caught his first career touchdown. Hooper is likely to remain the Titans' top pass-catching tight end from a playing time perspective for a significant portion of the season, but he has only five receptions for 48 yards across four games.
OCTOBER 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
No catches in return Philips failed to catch his only target in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Colts.
Impact Philps returned from a one-game absence due to a shoulder issue, though he played only two offensive snaps. He also began the season serving as the Titans' punt returner, but he has ceded those duties to Robert Woods in recent weeks.
OCTOBER 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Not targeted in win Westbrook-Ikhine did not record any stats in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Colts.
Impact Westbrook-Ikhine tied for the second-most snaps amongst the Titans' wide receiver corps, but he failed to command any targets. That could change if Treylon Burks remains sidelined by turf toe, though Ryan Tannehill has regularly targeted his backs and tight ends in the short areas of the field to this point in the season. Furthermore, the Titans' offense will continue to run through Derrick Henry on the ground.
OCTOBER 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Four catches against Colts Hilliard recorded four receptions on four targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Colts.
Impact Hilliard didn't record a carry, as Derrick Henry was the only member of the Titans' backfield to have a rushing attempt. However, Hilliard continued to have a significant role in the offense as a pass catcher, and he now has multiple receptions in two of his three games on the campaign.

Dealing with turf toe Burks suffered a turf toe injury during Sunday's 24-17 win over the Colts, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Burks won't require surgery to address the injury, but Rapoport reports that he's expected to miss multiple weeks and could hit IR. Coach Mike Vrabel, meanwhile, declined to offer an expected recovery timetable for the first-round rookie Monday, per Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site. If Burks does indeed miss time, all of Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Kyle Philips and Cody Hollister could benefit from increased opportunities starting with Week 5's matchup against Washington.
