19 Tajae Sharpe WR

Sharpe (foot) may have to compete for a roster spot, The Tennessean reports.

A Week 1 starter after being selected in the fifth round of last year's draft, Sharpe failed to advantage of his role, catching only 41 of 83 targets for 522 yards (6.3 YPT) and two touchdowns in 16 games. The Titans responded by drafting Corey Davis in the first round and Taywan Taylor in the the third round, later adding Eric Decker when he was released by the Jets in June. With Decker, Davis and Rishard Matthews all slated for key roles, Sharpe was already staring at a slide down the depth chart before he had surgery on a fractured foot in early June. He's expected back for training camp, but he may have to compete with Harry Douglas, Eric Weems and a few other players for only one or two roster spots.

Sharpe, who is bouncing back from surgery to repair a stress fracture in his right foot, is out of his cast and is now sporting a walking boot, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Sharpe is expected back for training camp, but his 2017 fantasy outlook took a hit this spring with the Titans' drafting of Corey Davis, who is slated to form a 1-2 punch at wideout with returnee Rishard Matthews.

Sharpe underwent foot surgery last week, but is expected to be back for training camp, Paul Kuharsky of ESPN.com reports.

Sharpe is expected to battle with rookies Corey Davis and Taywan Taylor for targets during the upcoming season and this recent injury certainly doesn't help. However, the fact that Sharpe is expected to be back by training camp indicates it isn't particularly serious, so he should be back on the field and 100 percent healthy going into the regular season. Look for additional updates on Sharpe's availability over the summer.

Sharpe did not participate in OTAs on Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of Titans Online reports.

The team has yet to announce the specific reason behind Sharpe's absence Wednesday, but further information figures to be made available in the near future. Sharpe clearly has the edge in experience in the system over rookies Corey Davis and Taywan Taylor, but considering where both of them were drafted, he'll need to perform well throughout the spring and summer to ensure a solid role for himself. In any case, if Sharpe is dealing with any sort of injury at the moment, the team will likely be cautious with him so that he's back to 100 percent by training camp.

The Titans drafted Corey Davis (ankle) in the first round and Taywan Taylor in the third round to join Sharpe, Rishard Matthews and Harry Douglas in the wideout corps, ESPN.com's Paul Kuharsky reports.

Selected in the fifth round last year, Sharpe surprisingly opened his rookie season as Tennessee's No. 1 wideout, but he eventually slipped behind Matthews in the pecking order, ultimately catching only 41 of 83 targets for 522 yards (6.3 yards per target) and two touchdowns in 16 games. The Titans responded by drafting two of the most productive wideouts in college football history, first nabbing Davis at No. 5 overall and then trading up to take Taylor at No. 72. Given his inefficient production last season, Sharpe could slip to No. 4 on the depth chart by Week 1. The Titans presumably expect Davis to emerge as the top target within his first season or two, with Matthews, Sharpe and Taylor filling in behind in some order. Led by Marcus Mariota, the Tennessee offense has an impressive stockpile of young talent, along with some proven veterans in Matthews, DeMarco Murray and Delanie Walker.
