The Tennessee Titans (5-3) are set to host the Denver Broncos (3-5) in an AFC battle on Sunday afternoon.
Prior to the team holding their first practice of the week, the Titans received good news regarding their first-round wide receiver Treylon Burks. The Arkansas product has officially had his practice window opened, which means he could be suiting up again sooner rather than later.
The team desperately needs Burks, as he was the only consistent receiver in terms of production and the ability to get open in his limited role.
According to @NextGenStats, the average receiver separation in the NFL is 2.92 yards of distance.#Titans rookie Treylon Burks is the only WR on their roster to eclipse that average in every game he’s played in (and finished).

Treylon Burks leads all Titans receivers with a 21% target share. Kyle Philips is second at 19%.
Burks is also sixth among ALL receivers in Y/RR at 3.40.
It's only a matter of time, folks.

The rookie wideout is still technically on injured reserve, so he won’t pop up on the injury reports, but his availability bears close watching over the coming days.
Tennessee also has a few notable names that everyone will undoubtedly be keeping a close eye on, including quarterback Ryan Tannehill, defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons, and EDGE Bud Dupree, among others.
Earlier today we got our first clue on how everyone is doing. However, it’s important to note that the Thursday and Friday injury reports will probably give us a better indication of where everybody is truly trending.
The Titans tend to use Wednesday as a ramp-up day for those that are dealing with some kind of injury by limiting or sitting them on the first practice day of the week.
Now that all that’s been covered, let’s take a closer look at Wednesday’s injury updates for both the Titans and Broncos.
