Calvin Ridley Calvin Ridley One grab in Week 8 loss
Mon, Nov 2, 2026, 9:04 PM
Ridley caught one of three targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 43-36 overtime loss to the Bengals.
Analysis: Ridley has been a total non-factor all season and remains likely to be dealt ahead of next week's trade deadline, if there's a team willing to take on the remainder of his $5.49 million salary for this season. He doesn't appear to have much left in the tank at 31 years old. |
Joey Slye Joey Slye Makes all four kicks in defeat
Mon, Nov 2, 2026, 8:06 PM
Slye hit both field-goal tries and his only two extra-point attempts in Sunday's 43-36 loss to the Bengals.
Analysis: The kicker drilled field goals from 46 and 29 yards out, respectively. Slye has only missed one kick this year, a field goal, but the Titans' offense has not been consistent enough to give him ample opportunities on a weekly basis. |
Elic Ayomanor Elic Ayomanor Three grabs in Week 8 defeat
Mon, Nov 2, 2026, 7:46 PM
Ayomanor caught three of five targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 43-36 overtime loss to the Bengals.
Analysis: Even with Carnell Tate (shoulder) inactive against Cincinnati, Ayomanor's role didn't grow much, as Wan'Dale Robinson, Gunnar Helm and Chimere Dike combined to see 22 of the team's 39 targets. Through eight games this season, Ayomanor has 13 grabs for 211 yards and a touchdown on 26 targets. |
Chimere Dike Chimere Dike Pops up for 5-71-1 without Tate
Sun, Nov 1, 2026, 10:01 PM
Dike caught five of six targets for 61 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 43-36 overtime loss to the Bengals.
Analysis: With Carnell Tate (shoulder) inactive against Cincinnati, Dike receiving the biggest playing-time boost on offense, as he ran 40 routes on Cam Ward's 46 dropbacks. Only Gunnar Helm produced more receiving yards than Dike in the Week 8 defeat, and only Wan'Dale Robinson (six) recorded more catches. With the Titans headed into their Week 9 bye, Tate figures to be back the following week versus Jacksonville. Perhaps Dike can earn more playing time at Elic Ayomanor's expense, and Calvin Ridley's name has been linked to trade speculation. |
Gunnar Helm Gunnar Helm Career day in Week 8
Sun, Nov 1, 2026, 9:29 PM
Helm caught five of nine targets for 76 yards during Sunday's 43-36 overtime loss to the Bengals.
Analysis: Helm led the team in targets while he was able to register a new career-high 76 receiving yards in the contest. The tight end has now reeled in eight passes over the last two weeks after he caught nine of 13 targets for 60 yards over the first six games of the 2026 campaign. Helm will have a tough test against the Jaguars in Week 10 after the team's bye week in Week 9. |
Wan'Dale Robinson Wan'Dale Robinson Ties season high with 57 rec yards
Sun, Nov 1, 2026, 8:38 PM
Robinson caught six of seven targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 43-36 overtime loss to the Bengals. He also lost a fumble.
Analysis: Robinson didn't experience a significant change in role in the absence of Carnell Tate (shoulder), as this was the fourth consecutive game in which Robinson notched either six or seven targets. His 57 receiving yards tied a season high, and Robinson scored his third touchdown of the season on a 15-yard catch in the fourth quarter. The Titans took a seven-point lead with 3:46 remaining after a successful two-point conversion following Robinson's TD, but the Bengals answered with a game-tying touchdown drive and eventually won in OT to drop the Titans to 1-7. Robinson and the Titans will be on bye in Week 9 before returning to action against the Jaguars in Week 10. |
Cam Ward Cam Ward First 300-yard passing game in OT loss
Sun, Nov 1, 2026, 4:40 PM
Ward completed 26 of 40 passes for 304 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 43-36 overtime loss to the Bengals. He added seven rushing attempts for 41 yards, lost a fumble, ran in a two-point conversion and threw a successful two-point conversion.
Analysis: Ward threw two go-ahead touchdown passes in the fourth quarter, connecting with Chimere Dike for an 11-yard score before finding Wan'Dale Robinson for a 15-yard TD. Those two touchdown passes came after a streak of five Tony Pollard rushing touchdowns without a Ward passing TD over the previous seven quarters. Pollard's second rushing touchdown Sunday was followed up by a two-point conversion from Ward on the ground, and Ward threw a two-point conversion to Gunnar Helm after the touchdown pass to Robinson to take a 36-29 lead. The Bengals answered with a game-tying touchdown, and Cincinnati scored to begin overtime. Tennessee's ensuing drive in OT resulted in a turnover on downs, but the bonus possession helped Ward reach 300 passing yards in a game for the first time in his career. Ward's first multi-touchdown passing performance of the season improves his TD:INT to 6:5 heading into a Week 10 home game against the Jaguars following Tennessee's Week 9 bye. |
Tony Pollard Tony Pollard Five TDs in last two games
Sun, Nov 1, 2026, 4:39 PM
Pollard rushed 21 times for 117 yards and two touchdowns while catching three of five targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 43-36 overtime loss to the Bengals.
Analysis: Pollard rumbled for a 40-yard touchdown in the first quarter and added a one-yard rushing TD in the third quarter, giving him five rushing scores in the last two games. He scored only once in the first six games of the season, but Pollard's recent hot streak has him up to six touchdowns, surpassing his total of five from each of his previous two regular seasons in Tennessee. Pollard was also brought down in Tennessee's end zone for a safety to break a 21-21 tie in the final minute of the third quarter. The surging running back has rushed for 246 yards over the past two games but could have a tough time maintaining his momentum after the Titans' Week 9 bye, as he'll return to action in a daunting Week 10 matchup against Jacksonville's league-best run defense. |
Nursing hamstring injury
Sun, Nov 1, 2026, 3:14 PM
Skoronski (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bengals.
Analysis: With Skoronski sidelined, Ross Dellinger is now in the game at left guard. |
|
Exits with finger injury
Sun, Nov 1, 2026, 3:06 PM
Latham (finger) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bengals, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Latham sustained the injury in the fourth quarter. James Hudson has taken over at left guard in Latham's absence. |
|
Won't return due to groin injury
Sun, Nov 1, 2026, 2:55 PM
Williams (groin) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Bengals.
Analysis: Williams has mostly worked on special teams this season, but his absence means the Titans will have less depth at linebacker for the rest of Sunday's contest. |
|
Done for day due to ankle injury
Sun, Nov 1, 2026, 2:39 PM
Harris (ankle) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Bengals.
Analysis: The injury was severe enough for Harris to be carted off the field and into the locker room. Alontae Taylor will see more work in the secondary in Harris' absence. |
|
Won't play against Cincinnati
Sun, Nov 1, 2026, 11:32 AM
Jones (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Jones popped up on Friday's practice report as a limited participant due to a knee injury, which is severe enough for him to not suit up Sunday. He's only worked on special teams across two regular-season appearances, but his absence means the Titans will also have less depth in the secondary. His next chance to play is Week 10 against the Jaguars on Sunday, Nov. 15. |
Kylen Granson Kylen Granson Not available for Week 8
Sun, Nov 1, 2026, 10:48 AM
Granson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: The sixth-year tight end will be a healthy scratch for a third consecutive game and the sixth time this season. The Titans are on a bye for Week 9, so his next opportunity to suit up is Week 10 against the Jaguars on Sunday, Nov. 15. That said, Granson is unlikely to see the field unless there is an absence ahead of him on the tight end depth chart. |

Cleared to play in Week 8
Sun, Nov 1, 2026, 10:44 AM
Franklin-Myers (groin) is active for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Franklin-Myers drew the questionable tag after ending Week 8 prep with consecutive limited practices, and the veteran defensive lineman has been cleared by medical staff to suit up Sunday. He has 14 tackles (six solo), including 1.5 sacks, and one pass defense through seven regular-season games, but he'll be tasked with a larger role on the defensive line in the absence of Jeffery Simmons, the latter of whom was traded to the Bears on Thursday. |

Calvin Ridley Calvin Ridley Good to go vs. Cincinnati
Sun, Nov 1, 2026, 10:33 AM
Ridley (hip) is active for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Ridley has been officially cleared to return from a one-game absence due to a hip injury. The veteran wide receiver has only five catches on 10 targets for 81 yards through six regular-season games, but he has the opportunity Sunday to operate in an expanded role due to the absence of rookie wide receiver Carnell Tate (shoulder). |

Calvin Ridley Calvin Ridley Expected to play in Week 8
Sun, Nov 1, 2026, 6:35 AM
Ridley (hip) is in line to play in Sunday's game against the Bengals, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: After sitting out in Week 7 due to a hip injury, Ridley kicked off Week 8 prep with back-to-back limited sessions before upgrading to full Friday and entering the weekend listed as questionable. Assuming he's deemed active about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, he'll be working in a Titans receiving corps without top WR Carnell Tate (shoulder) for the first time this season. |

Serving as Titans' punter for Week 8
Sat, Oct 31, 2026, 9:11 PM
The Titans elevated Morstead from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Morstead was cut from the Colts' practice squad Oct. 24 but got a new opportunity with the Titans shortly after, and he'll punt for his new team due to the absence of Tommy Townsend (knee). Morstead served as the 49ers' punter last year, and he averaged 43.6 yards per punt, with 22 of his 44 kicks ending up inside the opponent's 20-yard line. |

Remaining on IR
Sat, Oct 31, 2026, 9:07 PM
Mausi (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Mausi was a full participant in all three Week 8 practices, but he's not quite ready to make his 2026 regular-season debut. He was placed on injured reserve Aug. 31 due to a foot injury, and with the Titans on a bye for Week 9, his next chance to play is Week 10 against the Jaguars on Sunday, Nov. 15. |
Xavier Restrepo Xavier Restrepo Elevated for Week 8
Sat, Oct 31, 2026, 5:21 PM
The Titans elevated Restrepo from their practice squad to their active roster Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Restrepo was with Tennessee throughout training camp and initially made the 53-man roster, but he was cut before the team's season opener. He'll now get a look on game day for the first time this season, as fellow wideout Carnell Tate (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday, and Calvin Ridley (hip) is questionable but expected to play. Restrepo saw action in two games as a rookie with the Titans last year, catching three of seven targets for 41 yards. |
