Thursday’s injury report for the Titans upcoming matchup with the Bengals looks a lot like Wednesday’s as both teams continue to rest players to manage the grind of a long season. Here’s today’s updates:
Titans
| Player | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | Status |
| OLB Jadeveon Clowney (Knee) | DNP | DNP | ||
| S Dane Cruikshank (Groin) | DNP | Limited | ||
| CB Kristian Fulton (Knee) | DNP | DNP | ||
| CB Johnathan Joseph (Knee) | DNP | DNP | ||
| OT Dennis Kelly (Knee) | DNP | DNP | ||
| DT Jeffery Simmons (Not Injury Related) | DNP | Full | ||
| CB Tye Smith (Shoulder) | DNP | Limited | ||
| OL Daniel Munyer (Hand) | Limited | DNP | ||
| WR A.J. Brown (Knee) | — | DNP |
THOUGHTS
A handful of players sat out of practice for the second straight day, including Clowney, Fulton, Joseph and Kelly. The only player who’s status is in jeopardy right now is Fulton, who will likely miss multiple games with a knee injury.
I wouldn’t be worried about anyone else on this list unless they miss Friday’s practice, too. Brown has been taking Thursdays off for a few weeks now, so nothing to be worried about there either.
We still await word on Adoree Jackson’s status with the hope that he could return in time for Sunday still very much alive.
Bengals
| Player | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | Status |
| DT Geno Atkins (Not Injury Related) | DNP | Limited | ||
| DT Mike Daniels (Not Injury Related) | DNP | Limited | ||
| OT Bobby Hart (Knee) | DNP | DNP | ||
| C Trey Hopkins (Concussion) | DNP | DNP | ||
| RB Joe Mixon (Foot) | DNP | DNP | ||
| CB Darius Phillips (Knee) | DNP | DNP | ||
| OT Jonah Williams (Stinger) | DNP | DNP | ||
| S Brandon Wilson (Knee) | DNP | Limited | ||
| LB Marcus Bailey (Neck) | Limited | Full | ||
| TE Cethan Carter (Shoulder) | Limited | Full | ||
| WR A.J. Green (Not Injury Related) | Limited | Full | ||

| OG Michael Jordan (Back) | Limited | Full | ||
| WR John Ross (Illness) | Full | DNP |
THOUGHTS
Updating yesterday’s notes, the Bengals are dealing with some injuries and it seems things are not improving for starting LT Williams or starting C Hopkins. Cincinnati will likely be down three starting offensive linemen.
It also seems they’ll be down starting running back Joe Mixon. Tomorrow will give us more clarity as we head into the weekend.
