Team news: Tennessee Titans | Page 3

Unlike last year when Titans QB Ryan Tannehill suffered a similar ankle injury, I’m told Tannehill will NOT require surgery this time around. He’s currently in a cast diagnosed with a high ankle sprain, and there’s no definitive timeline for recovery… but “overall good news.”

With no timeline mentioned, it's a bit hard to imagine Tannehill plays in Week 7. It's assumed Willis would get the start over Levis, but that's something to monitor over the next couple of days. The Titans have a bye in Week 8, so the hope is maybe Tannehill is able to return for Week 9.

Titans coach Mike Vrabel tells reporters that QB Ryan Tannehill’s ankle injury is similar to last year.

Tannehill's injury to his ankle in Week 15 ended his season. The Titans have a bye in Week 7 and they’ll make a decision on his availability after the bye, the post went on to say. The post added there is no word yet on if it’ll be Willis or Levis if Tannehill can't go.

Titans’ WR Treylon Burks will not travel to London for Sunday’s game vs the Ravens and is out.

Related Players: DeAndre Hopkins, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Kyle Philips

Burks will now miss his third straight matchup and is firmly on pace to be a disappointing draft-day selection. In a passing attack that is so often difficult to watch, DeAndre Hopkins is the only player we should be aiming for in fantasy.

Zay Jones is considered day-to-day after aggravating a knee injury during Jacksonville’s victory over Buffalo in London.

HC Doug Pederson had noted while speaking Monday that Jones was slated to undergo an MRI. Jones had also missed Weeks 3 and 4 with a knee issue. In three games this season, he has eight catches for 78 yards with two touchdowns.

Mike Vrabel on Treylon Burks having a shot to play this week: We'll see. Hoping he can get out and start running around.

Burks missed his second consecutive contest with a knee injury this past week as we watched DeAndre Hopkins go off to a tune of 8-140-0 on 11 targets. TE Chigoziem Okonkwo was next up in targets with 9 (5-33-0) and RB Tyjae Spears had five (4-35-0). At face value, it doesn't seem like an optimistic statement from Vrabel in terms of Burks' status, but continue to monitor his progress this week. The Titans play in London in Week 6.

The Titans have started the clock on wide receiver Kyle Philips’ return from injured reserve.

Philips has been designated for return, which gives him a three-week window to practice with the team.

Philips can be added to the active roster at any point in that span, but will not be able to return if it ends without his move off of injured reserve. Philips injured his knee in the preseason. The 2022 fifth-round pick had eight catches for 78 yards as a rookie and he also returned five punts, the story pointed out. Philips has a chance to emerge as the team's WR3 when he's back to full strength, but seems to be more of a deep league add at this point given the Titans run-heavy offense.

Steelers QB Kenny Pickett has a knee injury, but the belief is the injury is not season-ending.

Rapoport said Pickett will get an MRI, and they are looking at the MCL and meniscus. His ACL is reportedly in tact. Rapoport added there just isn't a lot of information now but Pickett is going to miss some time with the injury but should return this season. Trubisky will get the start in Week 5, which is an early game at home vs. the Ravens. The Steelers do have a bye in Week 6 before traveling to the the Rams in Week 7.

Jaguars HC Doug Pederson said WR Zay Jones is a "long shot" to play the Falcons Sunday in London with a knee injury.

LB Devin Lloyd won’t travel to London and will miss the next two weeks. He had surgery to put two screws into his thumb yesterday; hope is he returns vs. Colts.

The Jaguars spread the target share out thin in Jones' absence in Week 3 and eventually fell to the Texans by 20 points. Tight end Evan Engram has become much more involved in the passing game over the last two weeks, and could continue to deliver usable fantasy games in London in Week 4.
