Titans' Injury Report: Updates on Key Players
Two Starters Ruled Out
The Tennessee Titans have already ruled out two starters for their Week 17 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars: wide receiver Treylon Burks and cornerback Kristian Fulton.
Burks has been dealing with a concussion since Week 15, while Fulton has been out since Week 12 with a hamstring injury.
Several Other Players Questionable
In addition to Burks and Fulton, several other Titans players are questionable for Sunday's game. This includes:
- Quarterback Ryan Tannehill (ankle)
- Running back Derrick Henry (hip)
- Wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine (ankle)
- Defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons (ankle)
The Titans will need to make some tough decisions on who to start on Sunday, as injuries have depleted their depth at several positions.
Tannehill's Status Uncertain
The biggest question mark for the Titans is the status of quarterback Ryan Tannehill. Tannehill has been dealing with an ankle injury since Week 15, and his status for Sunday's game is uncertain.
If Tannehill is unable to play, the Titans will likely start rookie quarterback Malik Willis. Willis has played in three games this season, completing 58.3% of his passes for 334 yards, one touchdown, and three interceptions.
Henry Expected to Play
Running back Derrick Henry is expected to play on Sunday, despite dealing with a hip injury. Henry has been limited in practice this week, but he is expected to be ready to go against the Jaguars.
Henry is the Titans' leading rusher this season, with 1,429 yards and 13 touchdowns. He will be a key part of the Titans' offense on Sunday, as they look to secure a playoff berth.
Outlook for the Titans
The Titans are currently 7-8 and in need of a win to keep their playoff hopes alive. They will face a tough challenge on Sunday against the Jaguars, who are 8-7 and also fighting for a playoff spot.
The Titans will need to overcome their injuries and play their best game of the season if they want to win on Sunday and keep their playoff hopes alive.
