VIC BEASLEY JR.
Held out Week 2 Beasley (knee) is inactive Week 2 against Jacksonville.
Impact Both Beasley and fellow outside linebacker Derick Roberson (knee) will be held out Sunday, leaving the Titans with just three healthy players on the edge. Beasley wasn't expected to play in this contest, but after logging back-to-back full practices this week, a return is likely on the horizon.

Not expected to play Beasley (knee), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, isn't expected to play, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports.
Impact Beasley's status will be confirmed approximately 90 minutes prior to the 1 p.m. ET kickoff with the release of the Titans' inactive list. Though Beasley finished Week 2 preparations with back-to-back full practices, the Titans apparently want to see him log more on-field work before turning him loose in games. The edge rusher missed most of training camp due to a 10-day unexcused absence followed by a stint on the Non-Football Injury list after he failed to pass a physical. The Titans are expected to roll with Jadeveon Clowney, Harold Landry and Kamalei Correa as their outside linebackers Sunday.

Officially listed as questionable Beasley (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Paul Kuharsky of 104.5 The Zone Nashville reports.
Impact Beasley has logged two consecutive practice sessions without restrictions, but it still looks like he's not a lock to take the field Week 2. Kamalei Correa will likely handle an increased rotational role if Beasley needs to delay his Titans debut another week.

The Titans are on track to have both Beasley and Jadeveon Clowney available for the first time during Sunday's game against Jacksonville.

Impact Beasley alternated between limited and no participation in practice throughout the week. He has had a slow start to his first season in Tennessee, spending much of training camp on the non-football injury list. It's unclear when Beasley will be able to retake the field for game action, though the addition of Jadeveon Clowney eases his absence for Tennessee.
