Mason Kinsey Mason Kinsey Makes first catch of 2025
Sun, Nov 16, 2025, 10:17 PM
Kinsey recorded one reception on three targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Texans.
Analysis: Kinsey was active for the fourth time this season and for the fourth consecutive game. He had been used almost entirely on special teams in his first three contests, though he gained a role in the Titans' offense with both Calvin Ridley (leg) and Chimere Dike (chest) sidelined. Kinsey has never recorded more than two catches in any of his four prior seasons as a pro, but he could have a chance to change that in the next several weeks. |

Tony Pollard Tony Pollard Held to 26 yards from scrimmage
Sun, Nov 16, 2025, 10:10 PM
Pollard rushed the ball 10 times for 22 yards in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Texans. He added three receptions on three targets for four yards.
Analysis: Pollard led the Titans' backfield with 13 touches to nine for Tyjae Spears. However, he was inefficient as both a receiver and a pass catcher, with his longest gain of the day going for only nine yards. Pollard has double-digit touches in every game this season, but this was his lowest yardage output of any contest. |

Gunnar Helm Gunnar Helm Four catches in loss
Sun, Nov 16, 2025, 7:56 PM
Helm caught four of five targets for 29 yards in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Texans.
Analysis: Helm was able to match his career high in catches, finishing second on the team in the category behind running back Tyjae Spears (5). The rookie has now registered at least one reception in 10 straight contests to open the year, but he's yet to record more than 36 receiving yards in a game, limiting his overall upside. Helm will look to build off of Sunday's performance when the team faces Seattle in Week 12. |

Tyjae Spears Tyjae Spears Limited production in loss
Sun, Nov 16, 2025, 7:07 PM
Spears logged four carries for three yards and caught all five of his targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Texans.
Analysis: Spears was unable to get anything going on the ground, posting a season-low three rushing yards. The running back was able to set a new season high in receptions, though, leading the team in that category. Spears remains limited by the Titans' overall lack of upside offensively, but he has now secured at least three catches in five straight games. |

Chig Okonkwo Chig Okonkwo Three catches in loss
Sun, Nov 16, 2025, 6:59 PM
Okonkwo caught all three of his targets for 56 yards in Sunday's 16-13 loss to Houston.
Analysis: Okonkwo led the way for his team with 56 receiving yards, which was his highest total since Week 3. The tight end has now registered multiple receptions in three straight contests and eight of 10 games overall this season, but he has still yet to find the end zone. Okonkwo will look to find paydirt in Week 12 against the Seahawks. |

Elic Ayomanor Elic Ayomanor Two catches in Week 11 loss
Sun, Nov 16, 2025, 5:02 PM
Ayomanor brought in two of six targets for 11 yards in the Titans' 16-13 loss to the Texans.
Analysis: Ayomanor dealt with a hamstring issue but was able to finish out the contest. The rookie's return was especially critical considering the Titans lost both Calvin Ridley (leg) and Chimere Dike (concussion) to injuries within Sunday's game. Ayomanor hasn't recorded more than four receptions or 56 yards in any game this season, but he'll be in line for an expanded role moving forward due to Ridley already being ruled out for the season and Dike potentially sidelined for a Week 12 home matchup against the Seahawks next Sunday. |

Van Jefferson Van Jefferson Catches first TD of 2025
Sun, Nov 16, 2025, 4:40 PM
Jefferson caught three passes on seven targets for 22 yards and a touchdown during the Titans' 16-13 loss to the Texans on Sunday.
Analysis: Jefferson was thrust into a bigger role on offense following injuries to Calvin Ridley (fibula), Elic Ayomanor (hamstring) and Chimere Dike (chest). Jefferson ended up leading the Titans pass catchers with seven targets and helped tie the game at 13-13 late in the fourth quarter, when he hauled in a four-yard touchdown pass from Cam Ward. Ridley is out for the rest of the season due to a broken fibula, and Jefferson could be thrust into the Titans' WR1 role against the Seahawks in Week 12 if Ayomanor and Dike are unable to play. |

Chimere Dike Chimere Dike Dealing with chest issue
Sun, Nov 16, 2025, 3:49 PM
Dike cleared concussion protocol but sustained a chest contusion during Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Texans, Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports.
Analysis: Dike was evaluated for a concussion and ruled out at halftime, but it turns out he is dealing with a different issue, this one with his chest. The rookie wideout came into Week 11 with 21 catches (on 33 targets) for 194 yards and one touchdown over nine games. Veteran wideout Calvin Ridley, who was the team's second-leading receiver coming into Sunday, also sustained a season-ending broken fibula, according to Turron Davenport of ESPN.com. Dike will have a week to recover before the Week 12 game versus Seattle next Sunday; otherwise, Van Jefferson and Mason Kinsey will have to step up behind Elic Ayomanor (hamstring). |

Calvin Ridley Calvin Ridley Done for season with fibula injury
Sun, Nov 16, 2025, 3:31 PM
Interim head coach Mike McCoy noted after Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Texans that Ridley is out for the season with a broken fibula, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com and Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site report.
Analysis: In his first game back after missing time with a hamstring injury, Ridley suffered a season-ending injury. In his looming absence, Elic Ayomanor, Chimere Dike and Van Jefferson are next up for the Titans' WR targets, though as Week 12 approaches, Dike is dealing with a chest contusion and Ayomanor a hamstring issue, per Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com. |

Analysis: With Chimere Dike (concussion) also not slated to return to the game, the Titans are left with Elic Ayomanor, Van Jefferson and Mason Kinsey to handle WR duties versus Houston. Ridley's next chance to see game action will arrive next Sunday against the Seahawks. |

Dike (concussion) won't return to Sunday's game against the Texans.
Analysis: With Calvin Ridley (ankle) also ruled out for the rest of the contest, Elic Ayomanor, Van Jefferson and Mason Kinsey are now slated to handle the Titans' WR duties. Dike and Ridley will thus target a return to action next Sunday against the Seahawks. |

Sun, Nov 16, 2025, 12:32 PM
Ridley was carted to the locker room during Sunday's game against the Texans after sustaining an ankle injury, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Prior to his exit from the contest -- his first since Week 6 -- Ridley caught his only target for 13 yards. In his absence, Elic Ayomanor, Chimere Dike, Van Jefferson and Mason Kinsey will handle the Titans' Week 11 WR duties. |

Calvin Ridley Calvin Ridley Active versus Houston
Sun, Nov 16, 2025, 10:40 AM
Ridley (hamstring) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Texans.
Analysis: Ridley, who had missed three consecutive games prior to the Titans' Week 10 bye, was able to log limited practices Wednesday through Friday, before approaching Sunday's contest listed as questionable. With his availability versus Houston confirmed, barring any setbacks or in-game limitations, Ridley is poised to reclaim his key role in Tennessee's passing offense. Prior to being sidelined, Ridley logged a a 16-290-0 line on 35 targets through five games, plus the six snaps that he saw Oct. 12 before injuring his hamstring. |

Calvin Ridley Calvin Ridley Expected to return Sunday
Sat, Nov 15, 2025, 9:17 PM
Ridley (hamstring), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup versus Houston, is likely to play, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Ridley missed each of Tennessee's past three games while dealing with an injured hamstring. He was able to log a trio of limited practices this week following Tennessee's Week 10 bye, and the veteran wideout now seems ready to return to game action. If Ridley does indeed suit up Sunday, Elic Ayomanor, Chimere Dike and the rest of the Titans' WR corps could each take a step down in the team's pass-catching pecking order. |

Bryce Oliver Bryce Oliver Heads to IR
Sat, Nov 15, 2025, 1:30 PM
The Titans placed Oliver (knee) on injured reserve Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official website reports.
Analysis: Oliver was limited in practice all week and was ruled out for the Titans' Week 11 game against the Texans. Now heading to IR, the 25-year-old will miss at least the next four games as he continues to recover from a knee injury. Julius Chestnut and Chimere Dike are expected to continue with kick return duties while Oliver remains out. |

Calvin Ridley Calvin Ridley Questionable for Sunday
Fri, Nov 14, 2025, 2:54 PM
Ridley (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Ridley has missed three consecutive games, but following the Titans' Week 10 bye, the wideout logged limited practices Wednesday through Friday, which gives him a chance to return to action this weekend. Fortunately for those considering Ridley in Week 11 fantasy lineups, Tennessee kicks off at 1:00 p.m. ET on Sunday. If Ridley is limited or out versus Houston, however, Chimere Dike, Elic Ayomanor and Van Jefferson would be in line to continue to see added WR opportunities. |

Chig Okonkwo Chig Okonkwo Cleared to face Texans
Fri, Nov 14, 2025, 2:46 PM
Okonkwo (foot) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Texans, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Okonkwo was limited in all three of Tennessee's practices coming out of a Week 10 bye, but his status for Sunday's game isn't in doubt. Rookie fourth-round pick Gunnar Helm has been pushing Okonkwo for playing time, and the Titans may generally struggle to move the ball against a Houston defense that's allowing a league-low 16.7 points per game. |

Bryce Oliver Bryce Oliver Out for Week 11
Fri, Nov 14, 2025, 1:19 PM
Oliver (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Texans, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Despite logging two consecutive limited practice sessions to begin the week, Oliver will miss his eighth consecutive game as he continues to recover from a knee injury. Julius Chestnut and Chimere Dike are expected to continue operating as Tennessee's top kick returners until Oliver returns to in-game action. |
|
Kalel Mullings Kalel Mullings Won't return for Week 11
Fri, Nov 14, 2025, 1:13 PM
Mullings (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Texans, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: The rookie running back from Michigan returned to practice this week after missing Tennessee's last six games due to an ankle injury, but it appears he's not ready for in-game action just yet. Mullings will remain on the injured reserve list through Week 11 and must be activated to the Titans' active roster before suiting up again. |

Calvin Ridley Calvin Ridley Another limited practice
Thu, Nov 13, 2025, 4:10 PM
Ridley (hamstring) remained limited at practice Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: After logging back-to-back limited sessions, Ridley, who has missed the Titans' past three contests, is trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's game against the Texans. Friday's injury report will reveal whether the wideout is able to upgrade his participation level, as well as his injury designation (or lack thereof) ahead of Week 11 action. |
