The Tennessee Titans (5-2) have completed their last official practice of the week as we inch toward the primetime AFC showdown against the Kansas City Chiefs (5-2).
Jeffery Simmons (ankle) remained out of practice on Friday, while Ryan Tannehill (ankle) was able to return to a limited session. Both players are listed as questionable will be a game-time decisions.
It’s important to remember that Simmons didn’t practice all of last week and still played at an extremely high level on gameday. Barring any setbacks, there’s no reason to doubt his ability to do it again.
Meanwhile, it looks like if Tannehill does play, it’ll be through pain, making him far less of a guarantee to suit up than Simmons.
Bud Dupree (illness) was a new addition to the injury report and is questionable, while Amani Hooker is one of two players ruled out.
Also, Elijah Molden, who was designated to return from injured reserve this week, isn’t expected to make his 2022 debut in Week 9, per head coach Mike Vrabel.
Now, let’s take a closer look at the rest of the final injury reports for both of the 5-2 division leaders.
