NASHVILLE — A number of impactful Tennessee Titans players, including RB Derrick Henry, WR DeAndre Hopkins, OLB Harold Landry III, DL Teair Tart, and DL Denico Autry have made appearances on the injury report this week.
The Titans will take on the Cleveland Browns on Sunday at 12 p.m. CST from FirstEnergy Stadium in Cleveland, but will Tennessee be missing some key players?
Here's a full update on every Titans injury including the status of Derrick Henry, DeAndre Hopkins, and more.
Titans left guard Peter Skoronski will not play on Sunday. Skoronski had an appendectomy last week that will keep him out until further notice. Head coach Mike Vrabel did not initially rule out anyone else, but Friday's injury report showed that wide receiver Kearis Jackson was also ruled out.
Jackson pulled up with an ankle injury in Thursday's practice and was later placed on Injured Reserve in a series of roster moves. Mason Kinsey has been signed to the 53-man roster and is expected to assume punt return duties in Cleveland.
S Amani Hooker has cleared concussion protocol. He is expected to suit up against the Browns. Same thing goes for CB Kristian Fulton, who has recovered from a hamstring injury and been a full participant in practice this week.
RB Derrick Henry, OLB Harold Landry, LB Luke Gifford, and DT Teair Tart are also expected to play on Sunday while DB Anthony Kendall (hip), DL Denico Autry (groin), and WR DeAndre Hopkins (ankle) are questionable.
At this point, it's really hard for me to say one way or another about Hopkins' status. Hopkins spoke to Titans media over the phone on Friday afternoon, and gave incredibly vague responses to questions about his ankle.
"I would say just me being, as you guys say, an old veteran player, [I'm] just taking some time to kind of get healthy all the way. So I wouldn’t say it's the same as last week," said Hopkins. "It’s not really improved or a different situation. It’s just the plan for me going into the game, being able to put in my best."
Hopkins did add that his ankle felt good after the game against the Chargers on Sunday, but did not seem to have as much confidence in his ability to play as he did this time last week.
Before Week 2 Hopkins said that it was "not too difficult" to play after not practicing for a week. Before Week 3 he consistently deferred to "the plan" set in place of him.
Hopkins did confirm that he would make the trip to Cleveland. We may have to wait until then to find out.
