Lands on injury report Friday McCreary was a limited participant Friday due to a back injury and is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Colts.

Impact McCreary landed on the injury report Friday with a back issue, putting his status for Week 4 in question. The rookie second-round pick has led the Titans in tackles in each of the past two games and has played nearly every defensive snap for the Titans through the first three weeks of the season. If McCreary is ruled out, Caleb Farley and Tre Avery would be candidates for increased roles against Indianapolis.

Won't play at Indianapolis Amadi (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 4, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact Amadi will sit out for a second consecutive week with an ankle injury he presumably sustained Week 2 at Buffalo. It's unclear when he'll be able to return, and for now, Josh Kalu could be in line to start alongside Kevin Byard at safety Sunday with Amani Hooker (concussion) also having been ruled out.

Ruled out against Indy Cunningham (elbow) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Colts, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact Cunningham picked up the elbow injury in the Week 3 win over Las Vegas and will miss at least one game as a result. The starting linebacker's next opportunity to play will come in Week 5 against Washington, while his absence Sunday could make it tougher for the Titans to slow down Colts running back Jonathan Taylor.

Won't play against Indy Hooker (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Colts, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact Hooker has yet to clear concussion protocol and will need to do so before the Titans travel to Washington in Week 5 to have a chance to play in that game. In the meantime, Lonnie Johnson will likely fill in at strong safety.

Manages limited participation Hooper (neck) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, John Glennon of SI.com reports.

Impact Hooper took a step forward in activity from Wednesday and will look to graduate to full participation Friday, which would likely allow him to enter this weekend's matchup with the Colts without an injury designation. Even if the neck issue results in no restrictions for Hooper, his fantasy ceiling will be suppressed while he continues to share snaps at tight end with Geoff Swaim. Hooper hasn't played more than 62 percent of snaps or drawn more than five targets in any of the Titans' first three games.

Takes every rep Thursday Burks (illness) was a full practice participant Thursday, John Glennon of SI.com reports.

Impact Burks' ability to get back on the field without restrictions suggests that the illness that kept him from practicing Wednesday won't affect his availability for Sunday's game in Indianapolis. The rookie first-round pick has seen a steady increase in his workload in each successive game this season, going from playing 37 percent of offensive snaps Week 1, 47 percent in Week 2 and 67 percent in Week 3.

Sidelined again Cunningham (elbow) did not practice Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact Cunningham had to exit Sunday's win over the Raiders early with the injury, and he has yet to practice this week. His status for Week 4 against the Colts is up in the air, although his participation level at practice Friday should give a clearer picture. if Cunningham is unable to play, Dylan Cole and Joe Jones will likely see an uptick in opportunity.

Adds another DNP Hooker (concussion) did not practice Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact Hooker missed practice for a second straight day as he works to clear through concussion protocols. If he is able to get clearance, he should take the field Sunday against the Colts. However, if he is unable to play, Lonnie Johnson will likely draw the start at strong safety.

Returns to field Burks (illness) returned to practice Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact Burks didn't practice Wednesday, but his return to the field a day later puts the wideout on track to suit up Sunday against the Colts. That notion would be solidified if the Titans list him as a full participant on their second practice report of the week, which will be released later Thursday.

Another limited practice Philips (shoulder) logged a limited practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' officials site reports.

Impact Philips, who was inactive versus the Raiders in Week 3 after heading into the weekend listed as doubtful, sported what Wyatt described as a "yellow caution jersey" during Wednesday's session. Unless the 2022 fifth-rounder is able to practice fully by Friday, he figures to approach Sunday's game against the Colts with an injury designation.

Doesn't practice Wednesday Hooper (neck) didn't practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' officials site reports.

Impact The report notes that Hooper was spotted running on a side field during Wednesday's session. In the Titans' 24-22 win over the Raiders on Sunday, Hooper was on the field for 24 snaps en route to catching both of his targets for 19 yards, while fellow tight end Geoff Swaim (40 snaps) caught caught all three of his targets for 19 yards and a TD. Three games into the season, Hooper has been limited to four catches on nine targets for 44 yards and as long as he's in a time-share with Swaim he'll be a hit-or-miss fantasy option.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to practice Dupree (hip) was a full participant in practice Wednesday, John Glennon of SI.com reports.

Impact Dupree suffered the injury in the Titans' Week 2 loss to the Bills, and he was unable to play in Sunday's matchup with the Raiders. Now healthy, he should be ready go in Week 4 against the Colts.

Misses practice Wednesday Burks (illness) didn't practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' officials site reports.

Impact Burks -- who totaled seven catches on 11 targets through Tennessee's first two games -- was on the field for 40 of a possible 58 snaps on offense in Sunday's 24-22 win over the Raiders, but caught just one pass (on two targets) for 13 yards in the contest, while rushing once for eight yards. Assuming the illness that sidelined him Wednesday doesn't impact his Week 4 status, the 2022 first-rounder will look to engineer a bounce-back effort this weekend against the Colts.

Picks off first pass of season Byard recorded four tackles and one interception during Sunday's 24-22 win over the Raiders.

Impact Byard didn't maintain his strong tackling numbers that he had through the first two games (19 stops), but he did record his first interception off a tipped pass by Darren Waller. The 2016 third-round pick has been a productive member of the Titans' secondary since he was drafted and appears on track to continue that in 2022.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Team-high 10 tackles in win McCreary recorded 10 tackles (nine solo) and one pass defense during Sunday's 24-22 win over the Raiders.

Impact McCreary led the team in tackles for a second straight game and has totaled 23 stops through the first three games of the season. The rookie second-round pick has played nearly every defensive snap for the Titans thus far, so he figures to continue putting up big numbers early in his career as long as he can stay healthy.
