Titans at Bengals Thursday Injury Report: More Rest

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:

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.

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.
