Late addition to injury report Whyle was added to Tennessee's injury report Saturday due to an illness, and he's now questionable for Sunday's contest against New England, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site...

Impact Whyle's addition to the injury report one day before Sunday's contest puts his chance of suiting up in considerable question, though it's not clear how severe his ailment is. The tight end has had two of his better games this season over the past two weeks, totaling five catches on six targets for 67 yards during that span. Nick Vannett could see more opportunities behind No. 1 tight end Chigoziem Okonkwo on Sunday if Whyle doesn't play, and David Martin-Robinson could suit up after being a healthy scratch in every game so far this season.

Looks set for Sunday Boyd (shoulder), who is questionable for Sunday's contest against New England, is expect to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Boyd didn't practice at all this week due to a shoulder issue, but he was nonetheless given a chance to play with a questionable tag heading into the weekend. It appears the veteran wideout will indeed be able to suit up Sunday, which should be a boost to Tennessee's air attack. Boyd has put up modest numbers this season but has at least two catches in every game thus far and logged a season-high six targets last Sunday versus Detroit.

Expected to miss another game Levis (shoulder), who is officially questionable, is likely to sit out Sunday's Week 9 battle against the Patriots, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Though Levis managed to log a trio of limited practices this week, it appears he'll sit out a third straight game while recovering from an AC joint sprain in his right shoulder. Titans offensive coordinator Nick Holz confirmed earlier this week that Levis will be the team's starter once he's ready to take the field again, and that could happen as soon as next Sunday versus the Chargers. With Levis expected to miss Week 9, Mason Rudolph is in line to make another start, while Trevor Siemian was elevated from the practice squad Saturday to serve as Rudolph's backup.

Likely starting again Sunday Rudolph is expected to start Sunday's Week 9 matchup against New England with Will Levis (shoulder) likely to miss another game, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Levis continues to recover from the AC joint sprain in his shoulder that he suffered in Week 4. As such, Rudolph appears set to start under center for the third straight game. Though he's averaged 240.5 passing yards while filling in for Levis over the past two weeks, Rudolph has a poor 2:3 TD:INT during that span, and he'll likely give way to Levis once the latter is ready to return.

Trending toward playing Sunday Pollard will test his injured foot prior to Sunday's game against New England, though the Titans "feel good" about him and "anticipate he will play," Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky....

Impact Pollard didn't practice at all this week, but he was nonetheless deemed questionable heading into the weekend. The fact that fellow running back Tyjae Spears (hamstring) has already been ruled out for Sunday makes Pollard's status more consequential for Tennessee, though the team did sign RB Joshua Kelley to the active roster off the practice squad Saturday. Julius Chestnut is the only other healthy running back on the roster.

NOVEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Elevated for Week 9 The Titans elevated Siemian from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

Impact Siemian will give the Titans some insurance at quarterback as Will Levis (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots. If Levis cannot play, Siemian would serve as the backup quarterback behind Mason Rudolph.

NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Added to Titans' active roster The Titans signed Oliver from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

Impact Oliver was signed by Tennessee in May as an undrafted free agent, and although he didn't make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp, he opted to stick around on the practice squad. Oliver could see some snaps against the Patriots on Sunday if Tyler Boyd (shoulder) is unable to play.

NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Signed to active roster The Titans signed Kelley off the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

Impact Kelley was released by the Giants at the end of training camp, but he managed to catch on with the Titans' practice squad Oct. 15. With Tyjae Spears (hamstring) ruled out for Sunday's game against the Patriots and lead back Tony Pollard (foot) listed as questionable, Kelley could see some snaps out of the backfield in a rotational role.

NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out for Week 9 Rupcich (triceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Patriots, John Glennon of NashvillePost.com reports.

Impact Rupcich suffered a torn triceps in Week 8 against the Lions and he's expected to miss the rest of the 2024 season, so his absence in Week 9 comes as no surprise. Daniel Brunskill stands to see an increase in workload in Rupcich's absence moving forward.

NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Week 9 Hooker (groin) is listed as questionable to play Sunday versus the Patriots.

Impact Hooker was unavailable for the team's first two practices of the week due to a groin injury, but he returned to log a limited session Friday, opening the door for him to play in Week 9. If Hooker is unable to go, Julius Wood is the top candidate to draw the start at strong safety in his place against New England.

NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Week 9 Boyd (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Impact Boyd is one of four Titans listed as questionable after not practicing at all this week. His role didn't seem to change much after DeAndre Hopkins was traded, in any case, with Nick Westbrook-Ikhine stepping in across from Calvin Ridley while Boyd continued working as a low-ADOT No. 3 receiver.

Won't return Sunday Spears (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest versus the Patriots.

Impact Spears followed up a limited practice Wednesday with no work Thursday and Friday, which was enough for the Titans to rule him out for a third straight contest. Meanwhile, the team's top RB Tony Pollard (foot) didn't log any activity this week but still is listed as questionable for Week 9 action. If Pollard isn't able to suit up, either, Julius Chrstnut and perhaps even practice-squad member Joshua Kelley would be tasked with manning Tennessee's backfield.

NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Won't return in Week 9 Sneed (quadricep) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Patriots, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact Sneed didn't practice all week and is now in line to miss his third consecutive game due to a quadriceps injury sustained in the Titans' Week 6 loss to the Chiefs. Expect Darrell Baker and Tre Avery (hamstring) to continue seeing increased work with Tennessee's first-team defense until Sneed can return.

NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Status up in air for Week 9 Pollard (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Patriots.

Impact Pollard wasn't able to practice at all this week due to a foot injury, but the Titans still are giving him a chance to be available to the offense Week 9. The reasoning may be that fellow RB Tyjae Spears (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game, leaving just Julius Chestnut as the healthy running back on the active roster and Joshua Kelley as a candidate to be elevated from the practice squad this weekend. Pollard's status will be clarified about 90 minutes before a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Week 9 Coach Brian Callahan said Friday that Levis (shoulder) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Titans insider Paul Kuharsky reports.

Impact Callahan added that while the decision is ultimately in his hands, he will rely on Levis' input regarding the health of the second-year quarterback's shoulder before deciding on a starter for Sunday's game against the Patriots. If Levis misses a third consecutive game, Mason Rudolph would continue to start for Tennessee.

NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Another missed practice Boyd (shoulder) remained sidelined at practice Thursday.

Impact While Boyd maintained his practice level from Wednesday, fellow wideout Calvin Ridley (shoulder) returned to a full practice Thursday. Boyd now has one more chance to practice as Sunday's game against the Patriots approaches, but if he's unavailable this weekend, the Titans would need to summon help from the practice squad to bolster their WR depth behind Calvin Ridley and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine

Throws for second straight day Levis (shoulder) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact Though Levis didn't take a step forward in terms of his listed practice activity after he was a limited participant in Wednesday's session, he threw passes for the second day in a row and seems to be making good progress in his recovery from an AC joint sprain in his shoulder. He originally sustained the injury in a Week 4 win over the Dolphins and was cleared to start in the Titans' Week 6 loss to the Colts coming out of a bye week, but since the shoulder issue was still affecting his mechanics and arm strength in that contest, Levis has proceeded to sit out the team's last two games. According to Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site, offensive coordinator Nick Holz said Thursday that he's not discounting the possibility of Levis being ready to play this Sunday against the Patriots, though the Titans have game plans in place for both Levis and Mason Rudolph, who has started the past two contests. Once the Titans are convinced that Levis is fully healthy, Holz confirmed that the starting job will belong to the second-year quarterback, per Wyatt.

Misses Thursday's practice Spears (hamstring) didn't practice Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact Spears was a limited participant in Wednesday's session, so his downgrade in participation a day later is concerning. Meanwhile, Tony Pollard has missed consecutive practices with a foot injury, leaving Julius Chestnut as the healthiest RB on the Titans' active roster, while Joshua Kelley and Jabari Small are currently on the team's practice squad. In any case, Friday's injury report will add valuable context with regard the composition of Tennessee's backfield ahead of Sunday game against the Patriots.

Sits out second straight practice Pollard (foot) didn't participate in Thursday's practice, John Glennon of NashvillePost.com reports.

Impact Pollard's absence from practice for a second straight day due to the foot injury clouds his status for Sunday's game against the Patriots. The Titans will see what, if anything, Pollard is able to do during Friday's session before determining his availability for the Week 9 contest. Pollard has taken on at least 18 touches in each of Tennessee's last four games, but if the foot issue keeps him out against New England or if he's available to take on only a limited workload, Tyjae Spears (hamstring), Julius Chestnut and practice-squad member Joshua Kelley would be candidates to take on more work out of the backfield.

OCTOBER 31 • ROTOWIRE

Churns out full practice Ridley (shoulder) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, John Glennon of NashvillePost.com reports.

Impact Ridley's return to a full practice a day after sitting out Wednesday's session suggests that his shoulder injury won't be anything that keeps him from playing this Sunday against the Patriots. The 29-year-old wideout has endured a tough first season in Tennessee, but he turned in his best game to date in the Titans' 52-14 loss to Detroit this past Sunday, when he recorded 10 catches for 143 yards on 15 targets. Ridley generated the big line while Mason Rudolph was under center for Tennessee, but the veteran receiver could be operating in Week 9 with Will Levis (shoulder) as his quarterback. Levis has missed the Titans' last two games and remains a limited participant in practice, but head coach Brian Callahan has suggested that the starting job will belong to Levis once he's fully healthy.
