Titans' Nick Westbrook-Ikhine: Steps into expanded role

Westbrook-Ikhine recorded seven receptions on eight targets for 107 yards in Sunday's 22-13 loss to the Texans.

Westbrook-Ikhine was aided by the early exit of Marcus Johnson (hamstring) and a pair of injuries that A.J. Brown (chest/finger) suffered. As a result, he led the team in receptions and yards, with his primary production coming on a 46-yard catch early in the fourth quarter. He also chipped in receptions of 16 and 14 yards to record the first 100-yard game of his career. If the Titans' wide receiver corps remains banged up for a Week 12 matchup against New England, Westbrook-Ikhine could maintain a key role in Tennessee's offense.
