#77G Peter Skoronski QuestionableHamstring
Updated

Skoronski (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bengals.

With Skoronski sidelined, Garrett Dellinger is now in the game at left guard.

#55OT JC Latham QuestionableFinger
Updated

Latham (finger) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bengals, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Latham sustained the injury in the fourth quarter. James Hudson has taken over at left guard in Latham's absence.

#52LB James Williams Sr. QuestionableGroin
Updated

Williams (groin) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Bengals.

Williams has mostly worked on special teams this season, but his absence means the Titans will have less depth at linebacker for the rest of Sunday's contest.

#26CB Marcus Harris QuestionableAnkle
Updated

Harris (ankle) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Bengals.

The injury was severe enough for Harris to be carted off the field and into the locker room. Alontae Taylor will see more work in the secondary in Harris' absence.

Injured reserve and long term 8

#54LB Dorian Mausi IRFoot
Estimated return Nov 15 Updated

Mausi (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Mausi was a full participant in all three Week 8 practices, but he's not quite ready to make his 2026 regular-season debut. He was placed on injured reserve Aug. 31 due to a foot injury, and with the Titans on a bye for Week 9, his next chance to play is Week 10 against the Jaguars on Sunday, Nov. 15.

#64G Jackson Slater IRFoot
Estimated return Nov 15 Updated

The Titans placed Slater (foot) on injured reserve Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

Slater sustained a serious foot injury during Sunday's game against the Giants, and his immediate backup, Fernando Carmona (ankle), was also hurt when he stepped into Slater's place. Both will have to miss at least Tennessee's next four games, potentially leaving free-agent acquisition Atonio Mafi or rookie sixth-rounder Pat Coogan as starting options at right guard.

#66G Fernando Carmona IRAnkle · Sprain
Estimated return Nov 15 Updated

The Titans placed Carmona (ankle) on injured reserve Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

Carmona was carted off the field after injuring his ankle during Sunday's game against the Giants, and he'll now have to sit out at least the next four games as he recovers. With 2025 fifth-rounder Jackson Slater (foot) also going to IR on Tuesday, free-agent acquisition Atonio Mafi or rookie sixth-rounder Pat Coogan could be asked to step in at right guard for the next few weeks.

#30S Kendell Brooks IRUndisclosed
Out for the season Updated

Brooks (undisclosed) reverted to Tennessee's injured reserve Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

It's currently unclear what issue Brooks is dealing with, but he was waived/injured Sunday and subsequently cleared waivers. As such, he's been placed on season-ending IR. Brooks could still play in 2026, though, if he works out an injury settlement with the Titans.

#58DE Tanoh Kpassagnon IRUndisclosed
Out for the season Updated

The Titans placed Kpassagnon (undisclosed) on injured reserve Monday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

Kpassagnon is suffering from an unknown issue. The defensive end will now spend the entirety of the 2026 regular season on injured reserve unless he is waived with an injury settlement.

#91DE John Franklin-Myers Cleared
Updated

Franklin-Myers (groin) is active for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Franklin-Myers drew the questionable tag after ending Week 8 prep with consecutive limited practices, and the veteran defensive lineman has been cleared by medical staff to suit up Sunday. He has 14 tackles (six solo), including 1.5 sacks, and one pass defense through seven regular-season games, but he'll be tasked with a larger role on the defensive line in the absence of Jeffery Simmons, the latter of whom was traded to the Bears on Thursday.

#37S Amani Hooker Cleared
Updated

Hooker posted five tackles (two solo) during Sunday's 27-24 loss to Cleveland.

Sunday was the fourth time this season that Hooker played every single defensive snap, although his five stops were his lowest of the 2026 campaign. The veteran safety is up to 46 tackles (29 solo) and three pass defenses (including two interceptions) through six regular-season games, and he's second on the Titans in total stops behind rookie linebacker Anthony Hill (68).

#53LB Anthony Hill Jr. Cleared
Updated

Hill logged 12 tackles (five solo) and one forced fumble during the Titans' 27-24 loss to the Browns on Sunday.

Hill punched the ball out of Harold Fannin's hands midway through the second quarter, but the Titans squandered the good field position by giving the ball back to the Browns on the next play on a Cam Ward interception. It was the first takeaway that Hill caused this season, and the rookie second-rounder has played every single defensive snap through seven contests. He's up to 68 total tackles, which is tied with Ernest Jones and Nakobe Dean for third-most in the NFL behind Alex Singleton (87) and Fred Warner (71).
