The Titans have agreed to a three-year, $21 million deal with LB Cody Barton, NFL Network reports. That should install the former Bronco as the starter next to LB Kenneth Murray, unless Tennessee decides to dump him ahead of the second year on his contract.
Titans LB Kenneth Murray Jr. is active for today's game against the Colts. He makes for a risky IDP option, though, after missing all three practices with the hamstring injury that kept him out two weeks ago. Murray did return last week to play 94% of defensive snaps against the Bengals, though.
Titans LB Jerome Baker is inactive for today's game against the Bengals. He carried no injury designation into the weekend, so that indicates the veteran is a healthy scratch.
Titans LBs Kenneth Murray and Jerome Baker carry no game designation on the week's final injury report and appear set to return for Sunday's game against the Bengals.
Titans LBs Kenneth Murray Jr. and Jerome Baker are both inactive for today's game against the Jaguars. That leaves the team with James Williams and Otis Reese as the expected top two at the position. Williams has yet to play a defensive snap in the pros, and Reese has played just 98 total across two seasons. I won't be projecting either for Week 14 use, because I have no idea what we can expect from them in terms of playing time or production. Rookie Cedric Gray and 29-year-old journeyman Luke Gifford could also factor in. Tennessee will also go without slot CB Roger McCreary but gets CB Chidobe Awuzie back from IR.
The Titans defense gets a high-upside matchup with the Mac Jones-led Jaguars this Sunday, But the unit also has five potential starters questionable, including both starting LBs and a pair of corners. But they also expect to get CB Chidobe Awuzie back from IR. He hasn't played since Week 3 because of a groin injury.
Titans LB Jack Gibbens fractured his right leg in Sunday's loss to the Vikings. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports that Gibbens is having surgery on the league today and "faces a four-month recovery."
LB Jerome Baker is a healthy scratch for his first game since the trade to the Titans. He did land on the injury report as questionable but was listed as "not injury related -- rest." (To be fair, it's a long flight from Seattle to Nashville.) That likely means Jack Gibbens starting next to Kenneth Murray, but it's tough to know how much playing time we can expect. After working as a starter for part of last season and playing 54% of snaps in this year's opener, Gibbens totaled just 17 snaps over the past five games before the Ernest Jones trade. I wouldn't recommend using Gibbens in fantasy lineups, but there's some tackle upside for deep formats.
The Seahawks are sending LB Jerome Baker and a fourth-round pick to the Titans for LB Ernest Jones, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.
Titans CB L’Jarius Sneed is inactive for today’s game against the Bills. That’s not surprising after he missed practice with a quad injury all week. Missing their lead CB obviously hurts the Tennessee defense. Buffalo’s outside WRs stand to benefit. We’ll see exactly what playing time looks like among that group, though, in the first game after the Amari Cooper trade.
Titans DT Jeffery Simmons says he expects to be ready to play after the team's Week 5 bye. Simmons missed Monday night's win over the Dolphins with a left-elbow injury that he said was a torn ligament, according to ESPN's Turron Davenport. "I feel much better right now, much better today," Simmons said. "Going into this bye week will be good for me to keep my conditioning up and with my elbow. I know I'll be ready to roll against the Colts."
Titans CB L'Jarius Sneed (hamstring) and S Amani Hooker (face) are active for tonight's game against the Dolphins. DT Jeffery Simmons (elbow) is inactive as expected. He entered the night doubtful.
The Titans are likely to be without DT Jeffery Simmons on Monday night against the Dolphins. He's doubtful with an elbow injury. They also might miss CB L'Jarius Sneed and/or S Amani Hooker. Sneed is questionable with a hamstring issue. He had been listed for just a rest day earlier in the week but turned up limited Saturday. Hooker is questionable because of a gash on his right cheek that required eight stitches. The team also placed CB Chidobe Awuzie on IR Saturday with a groin injury. Tennessee's D remains in play for fantasy use because of the QB trouble in Miami. But the injuries add downside risk.
