Bumped up from practice squad Chestnut was elevated to the active roster Saturday, Ben Arthur of FoxSports.com reports.

Impact Chestnut will be on the field with the Titans for a second consecutive game. Hassan Haskins (hip) has yet to be ruled out as he was last week, although Chestnut's elevation would seem to foreshadow that he will be.

Lands on IR Long (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Ben Arthur of FoxSports.com reports.

Impact Long had already been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars after logging DNPs at practice throughout the week. His absence will certainly be a blow to the team's linebacker corps, if not the team's defense as a whole. Monty Rice and Joe Jones will likely step into bigger roles, as Long will now be forced to miss at least the next four weeks, with a Week 18 return being the soonest he may take the field again.

Joins active roster Conley was signed to the Titans' 53-man roster Saturday, Ben Arthur of FoxSports.com reports.

Impact Conley earned the promotion with Treylon Burks (concussion) and C.J. Board (ribs) out Sunday against Jacksonville. He'll likely operate as the team's No. 3 or No. 4 wideout behind Robert Woods and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, while Racey McMath also joined the 53-man roster after being activated off IR on Saturday.

Predictably activated McMath (hip) was activated off injured reserve Saturday, Ben Arthur of FoxSports.com reports.

Impact The 2021 sixth-round pick hasn't played this season after suffering a major hip injury back during training camp. McMath was used sparingly in his rookie season, accumulating just two catches for eight yards across 106 offensive snaps, but given the team's lack of standout depth at wide receiver and injuries to both Treylon Burks (concussion) and C.J. Board (ribs), it's possible McMath becomes a relevant factor offensively for the first time in his career.

Questionable to face Jags Tart (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars, Ben Arthur of FoxSports.com reports.

Impact Tart turned in limited practices throughout the week, leaving his status for Week 14 unclear. He's served as a rotational defensive lineman for Tennessee this season, regularly playing between 40 and 50 percent of defensive snaps.

DECEMBER 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play vs. Jacksonville Avery (concussion) is listed as out for Sunday's game versus the Jaguars, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact Avery will be forced to sit out with a concussion in Week 14 after playing a career-high 55 defensive snaps in Tennessee's loss at Philadelphia in Week 13. The Titans will be paper-thin at the cornerback position Sunday and should lean heavily on Terrance Mitchell and rookie second-rounder Roger McCreary.

Deemed questionable for Sunday Haskins (hip) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars, Ben Arthur of FoxSports.com reports.

Impact Haskins was limited at each practice during Week 14 prep and is considered questionable for Sunday. The rookie running back was sidelined for Week 13 after landing on the injury report Friday as a limited participant with a hip injury, so while he's been able to participate in practice, it doesn't appears like he's made much progress since suffering the injury.

DECEMBER 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy for Sunday Simmons (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars, Ben Arthur of FoxSports.com reports.

Impact Simmons didn't practice Thursday and was limited Wednesday and Friday due to a lingering ankle injury. This marks a fourth consecutive game that Simmons has received a questionable designation, and given he's suited up in each of the previous three contests, it seems likely he'll be available again in Week 14. However, fantasy managers are still encouraged to confirm Simmons' status ahead of Sunday's 1:00 PM ET kickoff.

DECEMBER 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Out Sunday Board (ribs) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact Board played a season-high 15 snaps in Week 13, but he presumably picked up a rib injury too and will be sidelined for at least one game. Robert Woods and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine are the only wideouts currently healthy on the Titans' active roster, so Tennessee will likely have to elevate a few practice-squad wideouts for Sunday's matchup.

DECEMBER 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out for Week 14 Fulton (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact Fulton picked up a groin injury during the Week 13 loss to the Eagles and will remain sidelined for at least one contest. The Titans currently have only three healthy cornerbacks -- Roger McCreary, Terrance Mitchell and John Reid -- available for Sunday's matchup against Trevor Lawrence (toe) and the Jaguars' passing attack.

DECEMBER 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Still out Autry (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact Autry will miss a third straight game due to a knee injury he suffered in Week 11 against Green Bay. As long as Autry remains out, expect Mario Edwards and DeMarcus Walker to garner more snaps. However, Olasunkanmi Adeniyi, who was activated off IR ahead of Week 13, is also a candidate for increased pass-rushing opportunities while Autry is sidelined.

DECEMBER 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Sunday Long (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact Long left the team's Week 13 loss to Philadelphia due to a hamstring issue and was unable to practice to start Week 14 prep, so it's not surprising to see him ruled out. In Long's absence, Joe Schobert and Monty Rice are candidates for increased roles next to Dylan Cole.

DECEMBER 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Won't face Jags Burks (concussion) won't play in Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact The Titans' decision to rule Burks out for Sunday's contest isn't surprising considering he didn't practice in any fashion Wednesday through Friday after exiting early in the Week 13 loss to the Eagles. The rookie first-round pick will set his sights on returning Week 15 against the Chargers, but he'll first have to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol. In his absence versus Jacksonville, added pass-catching opportunities will be available for the likes of fellow wideouts Robert Woods and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, as well as tight ends Chigoziem Okonkwo and Austin Hooper.

DECEMBER 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Remains absent Friday Burks (concussion) wasn't spotted at practice Friday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact Burks has been unable to practice since exiting early in the Titans' Week 13 loss to the Eagles with the concussion. The rookie wide receiver will be hard pressed to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol in time to face the Jaguars on Sunday, so those relying on Burks in fantasy lineups should have an alternative ready to go. Robert Woods and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine will lead Tennessee's receiving corps if Burks sits, but both wideouts failed to consistent produce useful numbers when Burks was sidelined Weeks 5 through 9.

NFL odds Week 14: How to bet Jaguars-Titans

Still dealing with injury Simmons (ankle) did not participate in practice Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact Simmons has dealt with an ankle injury that's kept him in and out of practice and questionable to play heading into each of the last three games. However, he's ultimately been ruled active for each of these contests, so his absence from practice shouldn't be overly concerning for his availability Sunday versus Jacksonville. Simmons will now have one more opportunity to increase his activity ahead of Friday's final injury report.

DECEMBER 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Logs another practice absence Burks (concussion) missed another practice Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact Burks, who exited this past Sunday's loss to the Eagles after logging just 10 snaps, also sat out Wednesday's session, so what the wideout is able to do Friday should be pivotal with regard to his chances of being cleared to play Sunday against the Jaguars. If, however, Burks is unavailable this weekend, added pass-catching opportunities would be available for the likes of WRs Robert Woods and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and TE Chigoziem Okonkwo.

DECEMBER 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Puts in full practice Tannehill (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact After rolling an ankle in Sunday's loss to the Eagles, Tannehill was a limited participant in the Titans' first Week 14 practice session Wednesday. The Titans never expressed much doubt about Tannehill's status heading into this Sunday's game against the Jaguars, however, and the quarterback seemed to put to rest any concern about his health by taking every rep Thursday. While Tannehill looks like he'll be good to go this weekend, he may have to make do without top target Treylon Burks (concussion), who sat out practice for the second day in a row Thursday and looks to be trending toward sitting out Sunday.

Earns larger role Offensive coordinator Todd Downing said Thursday that Okonkwo has earned more opportunities, and the Titans have looked at drawing up more ways to get him the football, Turron Dave...

Impact Austin Hooper remains the Titans' starting tight end and continues to hold an important role as a blocker and short-yardage target, but Okonkwo, a fourth-round rookie out of Maryland, appears poised to poach more work from both Hooper and Geoff Swaim. For the first time all season in the Week 13 loss to the Eagles, Okonkwo played more snaps (31) than both Hooper (26) and Swaim (20), finishing the day with four receptions for 68 yards on five targets. Okonkwo has now drawn five targets in consecutive games, and the big-play ability he's demonstrated -- he leads all NFL tight ends with three 40-yard receptions this season -- has him in position to see even more involvement in the passing game. The Titans could look to Okonkwo for snaps as a wide receiver, given that the position group is already short on impact contributors and could be further depleted this Sunday against the Jaguars with Treylon Burks in the concussion protocol and uncertain to be available.

Undergoes back procedure Farley underwent a microdiscectomy on his back Thursday to address a herniated disk, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Farley has been on injured reserve since Nov. 15 and will not play again this year, although he is expected to be ready for the start of the Titans' offseason training program. John Glennon of SI.com notes that this is Farley's third back surgery since the start of his college career, as he previously underwent microdiscectomy's for an injured L5 disc and a bulged S1 disc. The second-year pro has played just 12 games since being selected in the first round of the 2021 Draft. With his season officially over, he'll now work to be ready for next season.
