Titans practice report for Thursday ahead of Sunday vs Jaguars.
-No sign of DeAndre Hopkins, Denico Autry, Treylon Burks, Andre Dillard, Derrick Henry.

Related Players: DeAndre Hopkins, Chris Moore, Chigoziem Okonkwo, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Kyle Philips

Burks is still dealing with a concussion, and is fighting an uphill battle to play in Week 11. Hopkins remains the only fantasy option we should consider this week in the Titans' pass-catching group, as he looks to rebound from a 3-27-0 Week 10.

Players ruled OUT by Vrabel for #Titans on Sunday:

- CB Sean Murphy-Bunting
- OL Daniel Brunskill
- OL Nicholas Petit-Frere
- WR Treylon Burks

Related Players: Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Kyle Philips, Chris Moore

The signing of DeAndre Hopkins was —rightfully— considered a blow to Burks' 2023 fantasy aspirations, but it's been even worse than his disappointing rookie season. The A.J. Brown replacement has only eight receptions on the year, in five games played. None of the secondary pass-catching options need to be in fantasy consideration.

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

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.

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.

Kyle Philips suffered an MCL injury in Saturday’s preseason win over Minnesota, per paulkuharsky.com, an injury that will reportedly keep him out “in the range of six weeks.”

If he wound up missing six weeks, according to the story, Philips would likely miss at least the first three games of the season, probably four. Philips burst on to the scene in Week 1 last year but then faded and played in only four games. Philips was slated to be the team's WR3 this season so this injury likely sets him back. Next up are Moore, Westbrook-Ikhine and McMath.

The story went on to say, the Titans will likely have to use two of their initial 53-man roster spots on injured receivers — Burks and Philips. And if the team needs to keep two healthy receivers as a result, that means two players at other positions will not survive the Aug. 29 final cut.

Titans first-round WR Treylon Burks, who left yesterday’s game with a foot injury, has been diagnosed with turf toe. No surgery is necessary, just rehab. But Burks will miss some time.

The Tennessee WR depth chart already looked suspect, and this won't help matters. It's good news that Burks will avoid IR, but clearly not a positive for his continued development. Robert Woods hasn't had quite the year that was forecasted in the preseason, but this could afford him an opportunity to demand a more significant workload.
