Chig Okonkwo - Tallies 19 yards in defeat Okonkwo recorded two receptions on four targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 23-13 loss to the Vikings.

Impact Okonkwo commanded at least four targets for the fourth time in his last five games. He made a limited impact in Sunday's loss, particularly because both of his receptions came on Tennessee's opening drive. Okonkwo has now recorded fewer than 20 receiving yards in eight of 10 games on the campaign.

Tyler Boyd - Two catches in loss Boyd recorded two catches on three targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 23-13 loss to the Vikings.

Impact Boyd was on the field for 58 percent of offensive snaps and ended a two-game stretch without a target. Both of his catches and all three of his targets came on a drive late in the fourth quarter, highlighted by a 30-yard gain. Boyd has reached 40 receiving yards in a game only once on the campaign.

L'Jarius Sneed - Likely out at Houston Coach Brian Callahan said Monday that Sneed (quadriceps) is unlikely to play in Week 12 at Houston, John Glennon of NashvillePost.com reports.

Impact Callahan's tone Monday was not entirely pessimistic, as he also said Sneed was getting closer to returning to action. If he does end up sitting out his sixth consecutive game in Week 12, his next chance to suit up would come in Week 13 at Washington.

Tyjae Spears - Concussion confirmed Coach Brian Callahan said Monday that Spears is in the concussion protocol, Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports.

Impact Spears was examined for a head injury at the tail end of Sunday's loss to the Vikings, so Callahan's comments merely confirmed that the running back will be subject to league protocol in order to gain clearance for his next game action. The Titans play this coming Sunday in Houston, so the team will reconvene for practice Wednesday, at which point his listing on the first Week 12 injury report will become known. Tony Pollard and Julius Chestnut are the healthy backfield options on Tennessee's active roster.

Jack Gibbens - Out for season Gibbens (ankle) will undergo surgery Monday and miss the remainder of the season, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Gibbens was carted off the field during Sunday's loss to the Vikings and was quickly ruled out for the remainder of the game. According to Fowler, the 25-year-old is facing a four-month recovery timeline, which should allow him to participate in any offseason training programs. However, Gibbens is set to be a free agent in March, so that won't necessarily be with the Titans.

Tyjae Spears - Evaluated for head injury Spears was evaluated for a concussion at the end of Sunday's 23-13 loss to the Vikings, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact If Spears' tests reveal a concussion, he would have to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol before he can return to game action. The second-year running back rushed three times for no gain and caught two of three targets for eight yards prior to suffering the head injury that prompted the concussion test. An update on Spears' status will surface no later than Wednesday, when the Titans begin their practice preparations for a Week 12 trip to Houston.

Nick Westbrook-Ikhine - Records 98-yard reception Sunday Westbrook-Ikhine had two receptions (six targets) for 117 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-13 loss to the Vikings.

Impact Westbrook-Ikhine struggled overall in Sunday's loss, but he and quarterback Will Levis caught the defense sleeping with a 98-yard touchdown on third-and-long in the third quarter. It was the wideout's fifth touchdown catch over his last six contests, but four of five of those games came with two or fewer receptions. Westbrook-Ikhine is a TD dependent option outside of deeper leagues heading into next Sunday's matchup versus Houston.

Calvin Ridley - Gains 58 yards in loss Ridley brought in four of six targets for 58 yards in Sunday's 23-13 loss to the Vikings.

Impact Ridley was unable to replicate his big scoring day from a week prior, but he still churned out a modest receiving line Sunday. The 29-year-old's fantasy value has taken a hit overall since joining the Titans with a 36-541-3 receiving line through 10 games. Ridley still offers enough juice for those in deeper formats, or even as a Week 12 bye replacement in standard leagues against the Texans next Sunday.

Tony Pollard - No room to operate Sunday Pollard (foot) rushed nine times for 15 yards and caught two of four targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 23-13 loss to Minnesota.

Impact The Titans' rushing attack was abysmal against the Vikings' front, generating just 33 yards on 19 attempts as a team. Pollard was battling a foot injury during the practice week before gaining clearance for Sunday, but Tennessee's offensive line wouldn't have been able to create enough push for Derrick Henry had he stayed with the club this past offseason. Pollard should produce better results against Houston next Sunday.

3 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Will Levis - Mixed results Sunday Levis completed 17 of 31 pass attempts for 295 yards, one touchdown and one interception while rushing seven times for 18 yards in Sunday's 23-13 loss to Minnesota.

Impact Levis didn't have his best game in terms of completion rate (55 percent), setting a new low for the 2024 season against Minnesota. The Kentucky product did manage to bolster fantasy managers' scores with a 98-yard touchdown pass on third down in the second half. Levis' inconsistent play limits his value to deeper leagues heading into next week's road tilt against the Texans.

Jack Gibbens - Won't return vs. Minnesota Gibbens (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Vikings, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Gibbens was carted off the field after suffering an ankle injury in the third quarter of Sunday's game. With Gibbens done for the day, Jerome Baker should see an increase in snaps at inside linebacker alongside starter Kenneth Murray.

Otis Reese IV - Exits game with rib injury Reese (ribs) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Vikings, John Glennon of NashvillePost.com reports.

Impact Reese injured ribs on the opening kickoff of Sunday's game. He's played exclusively on special teams this season, so his absence won't be felt on the Titans' defense.

Justin Hardee Sr. - Will be held out Week 11 Hardee (groin) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against Minnesota.

Impact Hardee logged an LP/DNP/LP practice progression during the week and won't be able to suit up against the Vikings. Since joining Tennessee in early November, the cornerback has gotten into two games, with all 35 of his snaps coming on special teams.

Tyler Boyd - Ready to face Minnesota Boyd (back) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Impact Boyd was added to the injury report Saturday due to the back issue, but the injury won't prevent him from suiting up for Week 11. The 30-year-old wasn't targeted over the previous two games while playing through a shoulder injury, but he's now past that issue and is expected to be more involved in the offense, per Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site. Even if that's the case, Boyd has limited fantasy upside as he caught just 21 passes for 184 yards and no touchdowns in the first seven games of the season.

Tyler Boyd - Optimism regarding Sunday status The Titans are reportedly optimistic about Boyd (back) playing Sunday against the Vikings, per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com.

Impact Boyd was added to the Titans' Week 11 injury report Saturday due to a back issue, but it appears as though the wideout will be available versus Minnesota. Either way, official confirmation of Boyd's status is slated arrive once the Titans' inactives are posted ahead of Sunday's 1:00 ET kickoff. Overall, Boyd has compiled a 21/184/0 receiving line on 30 targets in nine games, but he's coming off back-to-back zero-catch outings.
