Arden Key - Past hamstring issue Key (hamstring) was left off Tennessee's injury report Wednesday ahead of Sunday's Week 1 game against the Bears, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact Key tweaked his hamstring toward the end of August, and it appears he's already moved past the issue. The veteran linebacker had the best year of his career with the Titans in 2023, recording 101 total tackles, including 6.0 sacks, and defending two passes across 17 regular-season games. He's expected to line up opposite Harold Landry as the duo headlines Tennessee's pass-rush unit in 2024.

Impact Whyle missed the latter part of August with a concussion, but it appears he's cleared protocol just in time for the Titans' Week 1 outing. With Whyle back at full health, he's expected to serve as Tennessee's top backup tight end behind Chigoziem Okonkwo this season.

Chidobe Awuzie - Past calf issue Awuzie (calf) was left off Tennessee's injury report Wednesday ahead of Sunday's Week 1 contest against the Bears, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact Awuzie was sidelined for the past month with a calf injury, but it appears he's moved past the issue just in time for Tennessee's Week 1 outing. The first-year Titan is expected to line up opposite L'Jarius Sneed as a part of the team's new and improved cornerback room in 2024.

Jamal Adams - Misses Wednesday's practice Adams (hip) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact Adams was sidelined for most of August with general soreness, but it now appears a hip injury could prevent him from suiting up for the Titans' Week 1 affair. The 2017 first-round pick will likely need to practice Thursday or Friday in order to play Sunday. If he's unable to go, expect Julius Wood to work as Tennessee's second-string strong safety.

DeAndre Hopkins - Limited practice participant Hopkins (knee) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, John Glennon of NashvillePost.com reports.

Impact The Titans haven't said much about Hopkins since Aug. 18 when head coach Brian Callahan told reporters he expected the wideout to be ready for Week 1. Hopkins suffered a knee strain at the end of July, with a reported timeline estimate of 4-6 weeks, and it's still best to view him as uncertain for the season opener at Chicago this Sunday. Progression to full practice participation Thursday or Friday would erase most of the doubts surrounding his status.

DeAndre Hopkins - At practice Wednesday Hopkins (knee) was present for practice Wednesday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Impact It's a good sign that Hopkins is on the field as the Titans begin their practice week ahead of Sunday's season opener against the Bears. The team's upcoming practice report will add further context regarding the wideout's Week 1 status by revealing his participation level Wednesday.

DeAndre Hopkins - Expected to practice Hopkins (knee) is expected to practice Wednesday, but coach Brian Callahan said he's unsure how much the wide receiver will do, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports.

Impact It sounds like Hopkins will be a limited participant as he works his way back from the knee strain he suffered at the end of July. There was no report of any practice participation throughout August, so it's possible the Titans restrict his workload this Sunday at Chicago if he ends up playing. Should Hopkins end up inactive, WR Treylon Burks would figure to fill in alongside Calvin Ridley and Tyler Boyd.

Brayden Narveson - Let go by Tennessee The Titans waived Narveson on Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

Impact Narveson joined the Titans in May as an undrafted free agent to compete against Nick Folk for the starting kicking job.

He also converted both of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's preseason finale against New Orleans. Tennessee opted to stick with the veteran Folk, though Narveson should get plenty of interest from teams whose kicking situation is more shaky.
