TENNESSEE TITANS NEWS

Chig Okonkwo - Out-produced by Whyle Okonkwo recorded two catches on two targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 30-14 loss to the Packers.

Impact Okonkwo narrowly remained Tennessee's primary tight end by snap count. However, he was out-targeted 5-2 by Josh Whyle and has now failed to top 16 receiving yards in three games this season. Okonkwo isn't likely to entirely lose his role, but it wouldn't be surprising to see Whyle continue to be the more productive pass catcher moving forward.

Treylon Burks - One catch in Week 3 loss Burks recorded one catch on three targets for nine yards in Sunday's 30-14 loss to the Packers.

Impact Burks' role in the offense remained stable at a 50 percent snap rate, but he has been targeted only six times through three games. Even with DeAndre Hopkins still limited by a knee injury, Burks has struggled to earn a consistent role in the Tennessee offense.

Tyler Boyd - Records 33 yards Boyd recorded three catches on four targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 30-14 loss to the Packers.

Impact Boyd has had a steady role in the Tennessee offense through three games, tallying at least four targets while playing at least 70 percent of snaps in each contest. That's still led to relatively little production, as Sunday's performance was his highest yardage total of the campaign.

Chidobe Awuzie - Extended absence likely Head coach Brian Callahan said Monday that Awuzie's groin injury will keep him out for weeks, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports.

Impact Awuzie exited Sunday's loss to the Packers early with the injury and was unable to return. Any extended absence, which it appears he is facing, will be a low to the Titans' secondary, and lead to extra opportunities for Jarvis Brownlee and Darrell Baker.

Jeffery Simmons - Picks up injury Simmons suffered an elbow injury in Sunday's 30-14 loss to the Packers, John Glennon of NashvillePost.com reports.

Impact Simmons handled his typical workload in the loss, playing 80 percent of the defensive snaps, compiling four total tackles and 1.0 sacks. However, it appears his status for next Monday's matchup against the Dolphins will remain in question until further clarity on the matter surfaces throughout the week.

Nick Folk - Quiet day Folk made both of his extra-point tries but didn't get to attempt a field goal in Sunday's 30-14 loss to the Packers.

Impact Folk hasn't had many opportunities to start the 2024 campaign, but he's got the job done when called upon. Through three weeks he's 2-for-2 on FGAs and 6-for-6 on PATs. Next up for Folk and the Titans is a trip to Miami to take on the Dolphins.

Backup QBs Andy Dalton, Malik Willis shine; starters Jalen Hurts, Will Levis struggle

Backup QBs were big hits in Week 3 while a couple starters couldn't hold onto the ball. Here's who's hot and cold around the league.

Tyjae Spears - Effective as pass catcher Spears rushed the ball two times for seven yards in Sunday's 30-14 loss to the Packers. He added four receptions on four targets for 54 yards.

Impact Spears was active despite being on the injury report throughout the week due to an ankle injury. He had only seven yards from scrimmage and no catches at halftime, though he managed to spark a touchdown drive with 29-yard catch midway through the third quarter. Spears remains firmly behind Tony Pollard in opportunity out of the Tennessee backfield.

Cowboys aren't contenders, and what we learned in Sunday’s Week 3 games

FOX Sports' NFL experts break down what we learned from Sunday's NFL action and what it means for every team.

SEPTEMBER 23

Calvin Ridley - Disappears against Green Bay Ridley recorded one catch on three targets for nine yards in Sunday's 30-14 loss to the Packers.

Impact Ridley had managed decent production despite Will Levis's incompetence for the first two weeks of the season, though he made no impact in Sunday's loss. His lone catch of the game came midway through the third quarter and did set up one of Tennesse's touchdowns. Ridley and all of the Titans' pass catchers are likely to remain volatile due to Levis's inconsistent play.

Will Levis - More mistakes in loss Levis completed 26 of 34 passes for 260 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 30-14 loss to the Packers. He also lost a fumble.

Impact Levis put together by far his most competent performance of the season from an efficiency perspective by averaging 7.4 yards per attempt. He completed four passes of at least 20 yards -- all to different receivers -- half of which came before the game was decided, and he also recorded multiple touchdowns for the first time in the campaign. On the other hand, mistakes continue to plague him, as he turned the ball over three total times, highlighted by a pick-six. Despite now having eight turnovers in three games, coach Brian Callahan committed to Levis as the starting quarterback moving forward, per Turron Davenport of ESPN.com.

Tony Pollard - Disappointing Week 3 showing Pollard rushed the ball six times for 14 yards in Sunday's 30-14 loss to the Packers. He added three receptions on four targets for 15 yards.

Impact Though the limited volume suggests otherwise, Pollard operated as Tennessee's lead back by accounting for nine of the team's 15 total touches and six of eight rushing attempts. Game script didn't work in his favor, however, as the Titans never led and were down 10 points by the end of the first quarter and never closed that gap. While this was a disappointing performance for Pollard, he should be in for a bounceback spot against a struggling Dolphins team in Week 4.

SEPTEMBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

DeAndre Hopkins - Impactful Week 3 Hopkins recorded six receptions on seven targets for 73 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-14 loss to the Packers.

Impact Hopkins has been limited early in the season by a lingering knee injury, and he still managed to play only 45 percent of offensive snaps against the Packers, per Turron Davenport of ESPN.com. Even with the continued limited workload, he led the team in all receiving statistics by tallying three catches of at least 15 yards while also tacking on an 11-yard touchdown for his first trip to the end zone of the campaign. Will Levis also looked capable under center against the Packers, providing some hope that Hopkins can put together additional productive performances.
