Titans' Thomas Morstead: Serving as Titans' punter for Week 8
The Titans elevated Morstead from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
Morstead was cut from the Colts' practice squad Oct. 24 but got a new opportunity with the Titans shortly after, and he'll punt for his new team due to the absence of Tommy Townsend (knee). Morstead served as the 49ers' punter last year, and he averaged 43.6 yards per punt, with 22 of his 44 kicks ending up inside the opponent's 20-yard line.

Titans' Dorian Mausi: Remaining on IR
Mausi (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Mausi was a full participant in all three Week 8 practices, but he's not quite ready to make his 2026 regular-season debut. He was placed on injured reserve Aug. 31 due to a foot injury, and with the Titans on a bye for Week 9, his next chance to play is Week 10 against the Jaguars on Sunday, Nov. 15.

Titans' Xavier Restrepo: Elevated for Week 8
The Titans elevated Restrepo from their practice squad to their active roster Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Restrepo was with Tennessee throughout training camp and initially made the 53-man roster, but he was cut before the team's season opener. He'll now get a look on game day for the first time this season, as fellow wideout Carnell Tate (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday, and Calvin Ridley (hip) is questionable but expected to play. Restrepo saw action in two games as a rookie with the Titans last year, catching three of seven targets for 41 yards.

Titans' Carnell Tate: Expected back after bye
Tate (shoulder) will not play against the Bengals on Sunday but is expected to be back in action following the Titans' bye for Week 10 against the Jaguars on Sunday, Nov. 15, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports.
Tate was held out of practice all week while nursing a shoulder injury, but the rookie fourth-overall pick will have the benefit of extra rest courtesy of the Titans' Week 9 bye. Tate leads the Titans pass catchers with 34 catches (on 51 targets) for 413 yards and a touchdown through seven regular-season games, and in his absence, quarterback Cam Ward will have to rely more heavily on the likes of Wan'Dale Robinson, Calvin Ridley (shoulder), Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike, with tight end Gunnar Helm also in the mix for a bump in targets.

Titans' Tommy Townsend: Not available for Week 8
Townsend (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Townsend injured his knee during the second half of the Titans' 27-24 Week 7 loss to the Browns. The injury prevented him from practicing all week, so the Titans will likely elevate Thomas Morstead from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Sunday's contest. Since Tennessee is on a bye for Week 9, Townsend's next chance to play is Week 10 against Jacksonville on Sunday, Nov. 15.

Titans' John Franklin-Myers: Listed as questionable vs. Cincinnati
Franklin-Myers (groin) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Franklin-Myers was a DNP for Wednesday's practice due to a groin injury before ending Week 8 prep with back-to-back limited sessions. The Titans shipped Jeffery Simmons to the Bears on Thursday, so the absence of Franklin-Myers would further weaken a depleted defensive line. Rookie first-rounder Keldric Faulk and Jacob Martin would both be in line for more defensive snaps if Franklin-Myers is not cleared to play.

Titans' Calvin Ridley: Questionable for Week 8
Ridley (hip) is officially questionable for Sunday's matchup against Cincinnati.
Ridley didn't play last week due to a hip injury, but he was able to upgrade to full practice participation this Friday. Although Tennessee hasn't cleared him to suit up against the Bengals just yet, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports that the veteran wideout is set to play. Ridley's expected return is especially timely given that No. 1 wideout Carnell Tate (shoulder) has been ruled out.

Titans' Elic Ayomanor: Expanded role for Week 8 sans Tate
Carnell Tate (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bengals, leaving Ayomanor and Wan'Dale Robinson as the top wide receivers in the passing game, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Tate has been the bright spot in what otherwise has been a dreadful Titans passing game this season, so the absence of the rookie fourth overall pick means Ayomanor, Robinson and running back Tony Pollard are all in line for more targets from second-year quarterback Cam Ward. Ayomanor saw a season-high seven targets in Week 7 against the Browns, but he reached that mark five times during his rookie year in 2025 and is capable of handling a larger role, even if Calvin Ridley (shoulder) is available. Through seven regular-season games, Ayomanor has 10 catches (on 21 targets) for 177 yards and a touchdown.

Titans' Wan'Dale Robinson: Bigger role on tap without Tate
Robinson and the other pass catchers will operate in elevated roles against the Bengals on Sunday due to the absence of rookie fourth overall pick Carnell Tate (shoulder), Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Tate has accumulated 51 targets through the Titans' first seven regular-season games, which leads the team ahead of Robinson (43) and Elic Ayomanor (22). With Tate sidelined for Week 8, quarterback Cam Ward is going to be relying more heavily on Robinson, Ayomanor and tight end Gunnar Helm in the passing game, with Tony Pollard also in the mix for an expanded pass-catching role out of the backfield due to the absence of Tyjae Spears (knee). Calvin Ridley (hip) also is listed as questionable, but the veteran wideout has logged only 10 targets this season.

Titans' Tony Pollard: No Spears for Week 8
Pollard will have a chance to easily pace the Titans backfield against Cincinnati on Sunday due to the absence of Tyjae Spears (knee), Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Pollard enters the weekend on the heels of the best performance of his career with the Titans, when he turned 25 carries into 129 yards and three touchdowns and added three catches (on as many targets) for 26 yards in a Week 7 loss to the Browns. Cincinnati's defense gives up 116.3 rushing yards per game (19th in the NFL), but the unit likely will hone in more on Pollard given Spears and even rookie WR Carnell Tate (shoulder) are sidelined.

Titans' Tyjae Spears: Ruled out for Sunday's game
Spears (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bengals.
Spears will miss a second straight game, opening up RB2 duties for Michael Carter behind clear lead back Tony Pollard, who gets a boost as a potential volume RB2 play in fantasy.

Titans' Carnell Tate: Ruled out for Week 8
Tate (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Ben Arthur of FoxSports.com reports.
After missing practice throughout the week, Tate now will be unavailable for Sunday's contest. His absence should open up snaps at wide receiver for Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike alongside slot man Wan'Dale Robinson. Veteran Calvin Ridley (hip) will also be an option, assuming he's healthy enough to play.

Titans' Tyjae Spears: Missing practice again
Spears (knee) isn't practicing Friday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Spears missed last week's loss to Cleveland, and he isn't likely to play this week after sitting out every practice. Tony Pollard figures to handle another large workload Sunday at Cincinnati.

Titans' Carnell Tate: No practice, not looking good for Sunday
Tate (shoulder) won't practice Friday, and his status for Sunday's game against the Bengals is in doubt, Paul Kuharsky reports.
It sounds like Titans coach Robert Saleh considers Tateto be more toward doubtful than questionable, which is no surprise after the rookie missed practice throughout the week. It remains to be seen how the Titans list Tate on their final injury report Friday afternoon.
