Kinsey recorded one reception on one target for 34 yards in Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Saints.
Van Jefferson (forearm) exited the game in the second quarter, creating a void in the Titans' receiving corps. James Proche earned the majority of the targets, though Kinsey made the most of his one chance and helped set up a field goal for the Titans early in the third quarter. He could be asked to step into a larger role in Week 18 against the Jaguars, though Kinsey only has two catches across nine games in 2025.

Titans' Mason Kinsey: Not playing Sunday
Rotowire
Kinsey (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup with the Jaguars.
The wide receiver has been active for five games this season, and he's played mostly on special teams when he's been in there, though he did get some opportunities on offense the last two weeks with Chimere Dike (chest) and Elic Ayomanor (hamstring) nursing injuries. At the same time, Kinsey has never made more than two catches in a season in a pro career dating back to 2021.

Titans' Mason Kinsey: Makes first catch of 2025
Rotowire
Kinsey recorded one reception on three targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Texans.
Kinsey was active for the fourth time this season and for the fourth consecutive game. He had been used almost entirely on special teams in his first three contests, though he gained a role in the Titans' offense with both Calvin Ridley (leg) and Chimere Dike (chest) sidelined. Kinsey has never recorded more than two catches in any of his four prior seasons as a pro, but he could have a chance to change that in the next several weeks.

Titans' Mason Kinsey: Promoted to active roster
Rotowire
The Titans signed Kinsey off their practice squad Friday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
The 27-year-old's promotion to the active roster provides the Titans with much-needed depth at wide receiver, as Calvin Ridley (hamstring) and Bryce Oliver (knee) are both out for Sunday's matchup against the Colts. Expect Kinsey to contribute on both offense and special teams during the Week 8 divisional matchup.

Mason Kinsey: Returns to practice squad
Rotowire
The Titans reverted Kinsey to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Kinsey was elevated to the active roster ahead of this past Sunday's loss to New England and played four of 53 snaps on offense along with 22 snaps on special teams. Kinsey didn't get into the box score on offense but did notch one tackle in the return game. Whether Kinsey gets another look on gameday in Week 8 versus Indianapolis could depend on whether Calvin Ridley (hamstring) and/or Bryce Oliver (knee) are ready to return to action.

Mason Kinsey: Fails to make Titans roster
Rotowire
Kinsey was waived Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Kinsey appeared in six regular-season games for Tennessee last season but was bumped off the 53-man roster after the Titans selected two wide receivers in the 2025 NFL Draft. He's a candidate to land on the team's practice squad, assuming Kinsey isn't claimed on waivers.

Titans' Mason Kinsey: Finishes season with two catches
Rotowire
Kinsey appeared in six regular-season games for the Titans in 2024, securing two catches (on two targets) for 17 yards.
Kinsey has been a Titan for four seasons, but his workload has remained limited, and his 2024 production was actually a career high. The 26-year-old remains under contract for the 2025 campaign, but he seems unlikely to carve out a larger role next season.

Rotowire
The Titans elevated Kinsey from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, John Glennon of NashvillePost.com reports.

Mason Kinsey: Let go by Tennessee
Rotowire
The Titans waived Kinsey on Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
Kinsey caught four passes on nine targets for 58 yards over the Titans' first two preseason games, but he missed Sunday's game against the Saints due to a broken pinky finger.

Kinsey reverted to the Titans' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Kinsey wasn't very impressive after being elevated in Week 15 against the Chargers. He netted zero yards on two punt returns, including one that he muffed but recovered. It wouldn't be surprising to see the Titans go in another direction in that special teams role moving forward.
