The injury-riddled Tennessee Titans are hoping to get back some of their players this week, whether that be the group that was ruled out in Week 5 or the slew of players that are currently on injured reserve.
On Monday, Titans head coach Mike Vrabel provided an update on some of those players, some good, some bad.
The most notable players who were ruled out in Week 5 included outside linebackers Bud Dupree and Ola Adeniyi, safety Amani Hooker, right guard Nate Davis and linebacker Zach Cunningham.
While we didn’t receive an update on Cunningham or Adeniyi, there was some potentially good news to report with Hooker, Dupree and Davis.
Of the 11 players on injured reserve, we’re keeping an eye on cornerback Elijah Molden, linebacker Chance Campbell, and wide receiver Racey McMath, but it doesn’t look like any of them will return this week.
Here’s what Vrabel had to say about those players ahead of Week 7.

Racey McMath won’t be back this week but might be back eventually, Vrabel said.

Elijah Molden in the locker room, told reporters he didn’t want to talk because he is not quite ready to return yet.
