Tennessee Titans - Page 29 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Expected to start preseason finale Titans coach Brian Callahan said Sunday that he's currently planning for the team's starters, which should include Levis, to play in the preseason finale versus New Orleans on Sund...

Impact Callahan added that he'd "like to see our starting offense play somewhere in the 3-ish series" against the Saints, per Wyatt. Levis played the first two drives of Tennessee's preseason opener and he was then held out, along with a group of the team's key starters, in Saturday's exhibition against Seattle.

Dealing with concussion Reese sustained a concussion during Saturday's preseason game versus the Seahawks, Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports.

Impact The seriousness of the injury means it's unlikely Reese will be suiting up for the Titans' preseason finale at New Orleans. If he is indeed out, 2022 sixth-rounder Chance Campbell could benefit in terms of playing time.

To remain out this week Awuzie (calf) won't play this week but could return to practice soon, Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports.

Impact Awuzie has missed the bulk of training camp due to a calf injury and will likely end up being sidelined for all three of the Titans' preseason games. The fact that the veteran cornerback is expected to resume practicing soon, though, bodes well for his likelihood of suiting up Week 1 of the regular season. Awuzie is looking to bolster Tennessee's secondary after recording 57 tackles (43 solo) and six pass defenses over 15 games with Cincinnati last season.

Put in concussion protocol Whyle entered league concussion protocol Sunday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact It's not clear when Whyle suffered the head injury. In any case, it means he's probably not going to see the field during Tennessee's preseason finale and will likely have to wait until Week 1 of the regular season to suit up again.

Now in concussion protocol Small entered league concussion protocol Sunday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact Small took a blow to the head during Saturday's preseason game versus the Seahawks, and it turns out he did sustain a concussion as a result. The update makes it unlikely that he'll appear in the Titans' preseason finale at New Orleans.

Questionable for preseason finale Jackson (knee) is questionable for the Titans' last preseason game at New Orleans, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact Jackson sustained a bruised knee during Saturday's preseason game versus the Seahawks, and now it looks like that injury could keep him out for the rest of the preseason. If he is indeed out, undrafted rookie free agent Sam Schnee could see an uptick in reps.

Probably out at New Orleans Philips (hamstring) is unlikely to play in the Titans' preseason finale at the Saints, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact Phillips has been sitting out of practices with a lingering hamstring injury, and now it looks like it could keep him out until at least the regular season. It's no sure thing that he'll make Tennessee's final 53-man roster though, and players like Sam Schnee may get more opportunities to make an impression if Philips is out.

Expected to be ready for Week 1 Titans head coach Brian Callahan said Sunday that the team expects Hopkins (knee) to return in time for the regular-season opener, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Hopkins was diagnosed with a strained knee in early August with a return timeline of 4-to-6 weeks. Callahan said Sunday that the expectation is that the receiver will be back "soon," so he appears to be trending toward the early end of that timeframe. Hopkins is expected to work alongside Calvin Ridley as part of a veteran starting wideout duo when healthy.

Heavy workload against Seahawks Chestnut rushed the ball 13 times for 45 yards in Saturday's 16-15 preseason win over the Seahawks. He added two receptions on two targets for 29 yards.

Impact The Titans sat both Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears, leaving Hassan Haskins and Chestnut as the top backs available. Chestnut was utilized as the starter and carried a heavy workload. The majority of his yardage came on a 22-yard rush late in the second quarter, though he also led off the team's first possession with a 15-yard reception. Chestnut could begin the season third on the running back depth chart, but that won't translate to much work out of the backfield.

Looks good against Seahawks Rudolph completed 10 of 17 passes for 125 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Saturday's 16-15 preseason win over the Seahawks. He added four rushes for 15 yards.

Impact Rudolph entered the game after Malik Willis, with his first drive coming with five minutes left in the second quarter. He immediately led a touchdown drive, during which he went 3-for-4 for 40 yards. Rudolph and Willis are competing for the backup job, though the former appears to be the favorite for the role to begin the regular season.

Tallies 116 yards through air Willis completed 12 of 16 passes for 116 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Saturday's 16-15 preseason win over the Seahawks. He added four rushes for 30 yards.

Impact The Titans sat Will Levis for the game, leaving Willis in line for the start over Mason Rudolph. Willis had several strong throws, highlighted by gains of 24 and 14 yards. Unsurprisingly, he was able to supplement that with his work on the ground, also chipping in an 11-yard rush. Willis is competing with Mason Rudolph for the backup job to begin the regular season and his current standing with the team remains unclear.

Waiting on first catch with Titans Boyd did not play in Saturday's 16-15 preseason win over the Seahawks.

Impact The Titans have opted to play their starters sparingly this preseason, as Will Levis has attempted only five passes. Boyd has yet to find the stat sheet as a result, but he should have a significant role in the offense, particularly so long as DeAndre Hopkins (knee) is sidelined.

Breaks finger Saturday Kinsey suffered a broken pinky finger in Saturday's preseason victory versus Seattle, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Despite the injury, Kinsey returned to the contest and plans to practice next week. The fourth-year wideout is on the roster bubble, so avoiding missed time could be critical to his chance of landing a depth role among the Titans' receiver corps. Kinsey finished Saturday's win with two catches on five targets for 29 yards.

Injures foot in preseason win McLendon left Saturday's preseason game due to a foot injury, Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports.

Impact The undrafted rookie free agent back in 2023 was essentially a special teams ace in his first season with the Titans, but he could face an uphill battle to make the active roster this go around given the team's dramatic coaching change this offseason.

Undergoing concussion check Small is being evaluated for a concussion during Saturday's preseason matchup against the Seahawks, Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports.

Impact Small headed to the locker room in the second half of the exhibition game and is being looked at by doctors. Prior to his departure, he rushed seven times for 13 yards and caught four of four targets for 24 yards. Small is considered a long shot make the Titans' 53-man roster.

Hurts knee in exhibition game Jackson suffered a knee injury in Saturday's preseason contest against Seattle and is questionable to return, Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports.

Impact Jackson played only three snaps on offense and didn't see a target before getting hurt. However, he made an impression on special teams with a 30-yard punt return. Jackson is battling for a spot on the 53-man roster with a host of other wideouts, including fellow returner Jha'Quan Jackson. As such, it could be a major blow to Kearis Jackson's chance of making the cut if the knee issue keeps him out of the Titans' final preseason contest Aug. 25 against New Orleans.
