| | Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill (ankle) suffered an injury during Sunday's loss to the Chargers. The team expressed concern after the game, with reports their starting signal-caller could miss the contest against Houston this week. Opening the week with a DNP on Tuesday is a bad sign for the 34-year-old. It's still possible he practices on Wednesday or Thursday, but because they play on Saturday, there is less time for him to get healthy. If he misses, they'll turn to Malik Willis, who coincidentally made his debut against the Texans in Week 8. He only attempted 10 passes in that game, compared to 45 team rushing attempts, which would likely be the game plan again. |
| | Tennessee Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks (concussion) has missed the past two games after suffering a concussion in Week 13. He opened the week as a full participant in practice, providing optimism that he'll be back on the field Saturday against Houston. The 22-year-old was starting to heat up before the injury, catching seven passes for 111 yards and four passes for 70 yards in Weeks 11 and 12. The problem for the rookie is that his quarterback Ryan Tannehill (ankle), may be out, forcing the team to turn to Malik Willis, which would render Burks unplayable. It'll be worth monitoring the news reports leading up to the game to see if he's active and who is throwing him the ball. |
| | Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill's (ankle) status for the Week 16 game against the Houston Texans on Saturday is in doubt after he re-injured his right ankle in the Week 15 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Tannehill was carted off the field on Sunday but returned and gutted it out to finish the game. He's as tough as they come, and if there's any way that he can make it onto the field this weekend, he'll make it happen. However, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero says that it's going to be an uphill battle for Tannehill to play against Houston. Fantasy managers that were planning on using him in superflex leagues need to look in another direction. Rookie Malik Willis could be in line to make his second NFL start, with the Titans likely relying heavily on their ground game. |
| | With Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill's (ankle) status in doubt for the Week 16 game against the Houston Texans this Saturday, the team signed quarterback Joshua Dobbs off the Detroit Lions' practice squad, according to his agent Mike McCartney. According to reports, Tannehill is facing an uphill battle to play on Christmas Eve, which would put rookie Malik Willis to make only his second NFL start under center. Dobbs hasn't played in a regular season NFL game since 2020 with the Pittsburgh Steelers, and he's never made a start in two NFL seasons. If Tannehill isn't cleared to play against the Texans, Dobbs would be the immediate backup to the rookie Willis. |
| | Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill (ankle) will likely miss the rest of the season after re-injuring his right ankle in the Week 15 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, according to multiple sources. Tannehill has missed both days of practice so far this week, which has allowed rookie Malik Willis to work as the starter. Willis is expected to make the second start of his career this Saturday against the Houston Texans, while Tannehill could require surgery on his ankle. He originally sprained his right ankle on Oct. 23 and missed two games before he returned. The Titans also signed veteran Josh Dobbs to their active roster on Wednesday, another sign that Tannehill's injury is significant. If Tannehill is done for the year, it's a big loss for Tennessee's offense. They'll likely lean even more on the run like they did when Tannehill missed two games earlier this year. |
