The Tennessee Titans have provided a status update on two impact players that have missed time with injuries this week.
Following Saturday's practice, head coach Mike Vrabel ruled a group of players out for Monday Night Football in Buffalo. The Titans then released their final injury report with a full look at the players who have missed time.
CB Kristian Fulton (hamstring injury) was among those ruled out, while rookie WR Kyle Philips (shoulder) remains questionable.
Kyle Philips
After injuring his shoulder in his NFL debut last Sunday, Philips returned to practice on Friday, but has been wearing a yellow "non-contact" jersey when out there.
While Philips' participation has been encouraging, it's also looked like his ability to use his shoulder has been limited.
Dillon Radunz and Ola Adeniyi (other players in yellow jerseys) will be available on Monday Night, while Philips remains questionable and will likely be a game time decision.
If Philips is ruled out, the Titans will not only have to replace their most targeted wide receiver from Week 1, but also an impactful punt returner.
Robert Woods and Treylon Burks have been fielding punts in practice, just in case Philips is unavailable.
Kristian Fulton
With Fulton officially out against the Bills on Monday, Titans head coach Mike Vrabel suggested that the defense would use a committee of defensive backs to replace him, including newly elevated Chris Jackson.
"It's always a huge challenge every week no matter who's in there," Vrabel told the media. "Chris [Jackson] will have an opportunity to play in the game. All those corners. Caleb [Farley], [Ugo] Amadi, [Tre] Avery, Roger McCreary."
Now missing their best cornerback, someone will have to step up in the Titans secondary to help limit the passing game of Buffalo and superstar quarterback Josh Allen.
Second-year CB and former first round pick Caleb Farley is hoping that it's him who steps up.
"It's a big opportunity for me, I just gotta go out there and make the most of it," Farley told the media on Saturday.
After playing on only 17 defensive snaps in week one, Farley will now have an opportunity to get reps in a big game and try to earn a spot in the Titans regular defense.
