-Five players have officially been ruled OUT for Sunday’s game:<\/p>\n
Cornerback Jalyn-Armour-Davis (Achilles)<\/p>\n
Tight end Gunnar Helm (toe).<\/p>\n
Receiver Van Jefferson (forearm).<\/p>\n
Edge Femi Oladejo (fibula).<\/p>\n
-Safety Amani Hooker (ankle\/toe) is DOUBTFUL for Sunday’s game. Hooker did not practice all week.<\/p>\n
-The Titans placed Bryce Oliver, Femi Oladejo, and edge Ali Gaye on the team’s Designated to Return to Practice list on December 17.<\/p>\n
This designation opened up a three-week window for all three players to practice with the team, and they will not count against the team’s 53-man roster until being activated from Injured Reserve.<\/p>\n
All three players practiced on Friday, and while Oladejo was ruled out, interim coach Mike McCoy said there’s a chance Oliver and\/or Gaye could play on Sunday after both of them practiced in full on Friday.<\/p>\n
“Yeah, there’s a chance,” McCoy said. “We’ll make those\u2014we got to have a couple of discussions on how we’re going to put the 48 together because there’s some decisions we have to make, so there’s chance for those guys.”<\/p>\n
-Linebacker Cody Barton returned to practice on Friday after missing on Wednesday and Thursday for personal reasons.<\/p>\n
Barton had a good reason.<\/p>\n
On Friday, Barton beamed when talking about the birth of his son, Bleu Joseph Barton:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"-Five players have officially been ruled OUT for Sunday’s game: Cornerback Jalyn-Armour-Davis (Achilles) Tight end Gunnar Helm (toe).…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":648944,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2061],"tags":[93702,7,786,37466,6,1018,526,394,93335,2411,527],"class_list":["post-648943","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennessee-titans","tag-2026-01-04-pregame-stories-titans-at-jaguars","tag-football","tag-homepage-centerpiece","tag-news-quick-hits","tag-nfl","tag-team-football-news","tag-tennessee","tag-tennessee-titans","tag-tennessee-titans-at-jacksonville-jaguars-2025-reg-18","tag-tennesseetitans","tag-titans"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115827400278966991","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/648943","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=648943"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/648943\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/648944"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=648943"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=648943"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=648943"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
