Tannehill didn't practice on Wednesday or Friday and was more of a spectator on Thursday, shouting instructions and offering direction. Tannehill was officially listed as questionable on Friday's injury report. Tannehill's status for Sunday may not be revealed until the Titans deliver their inactive list, or possibly later.
Tannehill suffered an ankle injury in last Sunday's victory over the Indianapolis Colts. Tannehill returned to the contest after a short break on the sideline, but was clearly hampered and limited by his lower-leg ailment. It's been self-described as an ankle sprain.
