Rotowire
Hooker (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
Hooker was held out of all three practices during Week 18 prep due to an ankle injury and will not be available for Sunday's regular-season finale. Jerrick Reed will join Kendell Brooks as the Titans' starting safeties in Hooker's absence. Hooker will end the 2025 regular season with 81 tackles (58 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and eight pass defenses across 16 regular-season games.

Titans' Jalyn Armour-Davis: Placed on injured reserve
Rotowire
The Titans placed Armour-Davis (Achilles) on injured reserve Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
Armour-Davis suffered an Achilles tear in last Sunday's loss to the Saints, so it was inevitable that the move to IR would occur. The cornerback will end the season with 34 tackles (18 solo) and two passes defensed over 11 games. Kaiir Elam will start at outside cornerback opposite Darrell Baker for the Titans' Week 18 matchup with the Jaguars.

Titans' Kemon Hall: Joins active roster
Rotowire
The Titans signed Hall from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Hall is coming off back-to-back appearances for the Titans, where he played on both defense and special teams. The 28-year-old could have a similar role in Week 18, looking to add to his season totals of nine solo tackles.

Titans' Ali Gaye: Activated off IR
Rotowire
Gaye (knee) was activated off injured reserve Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Gaye hasn't played since suffering a knee injury in the Titans' Week 8 matchup against the Colts. Despite missing Week 17, the 27-year-old has recorded back-to-back weeks of full practice. His injury designation has also been dropped, per Wyatt, so the second-year pro will likely play a depth role at linebacker in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Jaguars.

Titans' Oluwafemi Oladejo: Will end season on IR
Rotowire
Oladejo (lower leg) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Oladejo was placed on injured reserve in mid-October after fracturing his leg during the Titans' Week 6 loss to the Raiders. He was designated to return from IR in mid-December, but the rookie second-rounder was unable to progress enough in his recovery to return for Sunday's regular-season finale. Oladejo will end his first NFL campaign with 13 tackles (five solo) across six regular-season games.

Titans' Amani Hooker: Doubtful for Sunday
Rotowire
Hooker (ankle) is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
Hooker was unable to practice at all this week due to an ankle injury he likely sustained in last Sunday's loss to the Saints. The strong safety was able to play every snap in the contest, so there is a chance he can play through the injury in the hope of helping the Titans spoil the Jaguars' chance for the No. 2 seed in the AFC, and maybe the AFC South title as a whole. If the ankle injury proves to be too much and Hooker is inactive come game time, Jerrick Reed will likely get the start at strong safety.

Titans' Arden Key: Out for season finale
Rotowire
Key (hip) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
The 29-year-old sustained a hip injury in the Week 17 loss to the Saints and didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, so it's no surprise he'll be sidelined Sunday. Key has now closed his 2025 campaign with 22 total tackles, including 4.0 sacks, across 12 contests. While he's sidelined for the Week 18 divisional matchup, expect Jaylen Harrell to start opposite Jihad Ward.

Titans' Amani Hooker: Dealing with ankle issue
Rotowire
Hooker (ankle) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Hooker played every single defensive snap and logged two solo tackles during the Titans' Week 17 loss to the Saints, but he may have tweaked his ankle injury in the process. The veteran safety will have two more chances to practice in at least a limited capacity ahead of Sunday's regular-season finale against the Jaguars.

Titans' Arden Key: Doesn't practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Key (hip) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Key was removed from the Titans' Week 17 loss to the Saints due to what was initially reported as a back injury. He has since been diagnosed with a hip issue, which prevented him from participating in the opening practice of Week 18 prep. The veteran pass rusher will have two more opportunities to log at least a limited session ahead of Sunday's regular-season finale against the Jaguars. Key has accumulated 16 tackles (seven solo), including 2.5 sacks, across seven games since the Titans' Week 10 bye.
Simmons logged seven tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks, and a forced fumble during the Titans' 34-26 loss to the Saints on Sunday.
Simmons made his impact felt early in the first quarter, when the Pro Bowl pass rusher strip-sacked Tyler Shough for a seven-yard loss, though the Saints were able to recover the football and punt on the next play. Simmons is up to 10.0 sacks on the year, which is the first time in his seven-year NFL career that he has cracked double digits and is tied with Maxx Crosby (knee) for 12th most in the league. Simmons' final chance to add to his sack total this season comes this Sunday on the road against the Jaguars.

Titans' Jalyn Armour-Davis: Exits with Achilles issue
Rotowire
Armour-Davis (Achilles) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Saints, John Glennon of NashvillePost.com reports.
Armour-Davis exited the game in the first quarter after sustaining an injury to his Achilles. The issue is likely tied to the cornerback's prior injury, which he has been dealing with since Week 12. Kaiir Elam will likely see snaps at outside corner for the rest of Sunday's game.

Titans' Marcus Harris: Shifts to IR
Rotowire
The Titans placed Harris (knee) on injured reserve Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
Harris' placement on IR confirms interim head coach Mike McCoy's diagnosis that the knee injury the rookie sixth-round pick suffered in Week 16 against the Chiefs would be season-ending. With Harris unavailable, Kemon Hall appears set to take over as Tennessee's top slot cornerback.

Titans' Ali Gaye: Won't return Week 17
Rotowire
Gaye (knee) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Saints, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Gaye won't come off IR for Week 17, making Tennessee's regular-season finale against the Jaguars his last opportunity to suit up during the 2025 campaign. This will mark the eighth straight game that Gaye has missed due to his lingering knee injury.

Titans' Micah Robinson: Questionable due to illness
Rotowire
Robinson (illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
Robinson was a new addition to Friday's injury report with an illness that forced the cornerback to sit out practice. The 23-year-old is primarily a special-teamer, and his potential absence would likely thrust recent acquisition Kaiir Elam into a role for the unit.

Titans' Oluwafemi Oladejo: Won't play Sunday
Rotowire
Oladejo (lower leg), who remains on IR, is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Saints, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Oladejo has his 21-day practice window opened Dec. 17 and has been a limited participant since, including during Friday's session. His final chance to retake the field this season will come Week 18 against the Jaguars. The rookie second-round pick may need to practice in full prior to that contest in order to prove he's ready to come off IR.

Titans' Cedric Gray: Avoids injury designation
Rotowire
Gray (concussion) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's contest against the Saints, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
Gray put together three straight full practices leading into Week 17, and after clearing concussion protocol, he is ready to go versus the Saints. The 23-year-old has 144 tackles (85 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and four pass breakups in 14 games this season.

Titans' Sebastian Joseph-Day: Set to play Week 17
Rotowire
Joseph-Day (calf) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Joseph-Day has played in all 15 games for the Titans so far this season and will continue that streak in Sunday's contest. The defensive end saw his lowest snap share of the season against the Chiefs in Week 16, likely due to the calf injury that led to his appearance on Wednesday's injury report. Now that he's been cleared of any injury designation and is set to suit up, the 30-year-old will likely return to a higher amount of defensive snaps in Sunday's game.

Titans' Jalyn Armour-Davis: Ready for Sunday
Rotowire
Armour-Davis (Achilles) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Armour-Davis missed three consecutive weeks before the Titans' Week 16 win over the Chiefs, when he was able to play all defensive snaps for the Titans' defense. The cornerback has once again been cleared to play and will maintain a starting spot against New Orleans.

Titans' Jalyn Armour-Davis: Still managing Achilles issue
Rotowire
Armour-Davis (Achilles) was limited in practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Armour-Davis sat out Weeks 13-15 due to the Achilles issue before returning for this past Sunday's win over Kansas City, when he played 100 percent of the Titans' defensive snaps and logged two tackles. Unless he suffered a setback during that contest, the fourth-year cornerback's limited practice to begin Week 17 prep is likely due to maintenance of the injury. As such, the current expectation should be that he'll start Sunday versus New Orleans.
