The Tennessee Titans have designated RB Derrick Henry to return from Injured Reserve. He now has 21 days to be added to the active roster.

Henry's potential return for the playoffs is huge, especially if the Titans get an extra week of rest if they secure the top seed in the AFC.

Titans WR Julio Jones has been activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Titans WR Nick Westbrook-Ikhine was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list.

His return is big, especially if Julio Jones is not activated from the COVID list.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown missed Thursday's practice due to a calf injury.

Brown was added to the injury report on Thursday with a calf injury. The injury appears to be a new one, as he was last listed with a chest injury while he was on injured reserve. Calf injuries can be tricky, so there is now legitimate concern regarding his Week 17 availability. Hopefully, Friday's practice and final injury report will clarify things for fantasy managers, but we could be heading towards a questionable or out tag. This is a situation to monitor.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown has been activated from injured reserve and will play tonight against the San Francisco 49ers.

Brown has been sidelined since Week 11 with the chest injury but will make his return tonight against the 49ers. Tennessee is battling for the second seed in the AFC, so Brown's return could not come at a better time. Brown's return should be a big boost for the Titans offense and should hopefully help raise the floor of Ryan Tannehill. Brown is our 17th ranked wide receiver for Week 16.

Vrabel: A.J. Brown will be part of walkthrough today.

Good news for Brown and his owners. The team will try and get him up to speed during the week but at this point a determination on his status for Thursday will come later in week, the tweet said.

The Titans designated receiver A.J. Brown off of injured reserve on Monday. Tennessee now has 21 days to activate Brown to the active roster.

Brown could be activated in time to play in Thursday night's home game against the 49ers, but a more likely scenario is that he'll return for the Titans' Week 17 home game against the Dolphins, the story said. Brown has not played since sustaining a chest injury during the team's Week 11 loss to the Texans.

Titans RB Derrick Henry (foot) is on track to return to the lineup by the playoffs, perhaps even earlier.

Henry's rehab is going so well that he is able to be on this timeframe of returning for the playoffs or perhaps even Week 18 if the Titans are in a win-and-in scenario. There was always the chance he could return at some point even after the injury originally happened, so this is a great sign for Henry and Titans, who are still holding on to the AFC South lead and in the mix for the No. 1 seed in the AFC at 8-4.

After practicing fully this week the designation was expected. Ryan Tannehill will welcome the return of Jones who missed the previous three weeks before heading into a bye last week. The hamstring injury could project a snap count for Jones making him more of a WR3 heading into a matchup with Jacksonville.

The return of Jones will boost Tannehill’s fantasy outlook as he’s been without A.J. Brown and/or Julio Jones for six games so far this year. Nick Westbrook-Ikhine projects as the target leader out of Tennessee’s depleted group of pass catchers.
