The New England Patriots are headed to Nashville to take on the Tennessee Titans in Week 7. It’s an interesting game due to it being Mike Vrabel’s return to the team that fired him after the 2023 season.
This will also be the first game for the Titans since Vrabel’s replacement, Brian Callahan, was fired, and Mike McCoy was named the interim. The Titans enter the contest with a 1-5 record while the Patriots are 4-2 and leading the AFC East.
While it would be easy to overlook the Titans, the Patriots have to stay focused as we’ve already seen some big upsets this season. It will help if the Patriots are as healthy as possible, and the team did get some good news on that front Friday.
After not practicing all week, edge-rusher Harold Landry III was a full participant on Friday and received a questionable designation for the game. Star wide receiver Stefon Diggs was limited all week, and then also participated fully on Friday and was given a questionable tag.
Defensive backs Charles Woods and Jaylinn Hawkins were the only players with a designation, and both are questionable as well. Hawkins was limited on Friday while Woods did not participate.
The #Patriots are listing WR Stefon Diggs (chest), OLB Harold Landry (foot), S Jaylinn Hawkins (hamstring), and CB Charles Woods (knee) as QUESTIONABLE for Sunday’s game against the Titans.

It’s certainly good news that Anfernee Jennings, Christian Barmore, Morgan Moses, Christian Gonzalez, Keion White, and Marte Mapu will all be good to go after missing some practice time this week.
If Landry is unable to go, that would be a huge loss for the Patriots. Landry leads the team with 4.5 sacks on the season and also has 24 tackles and six tackles for loss. Diggs would also be a huge loss, as the veteran leads the team in catches and receiving yards.
The Patriots and Titans will kick off from Nissan Stadium on Sunday at 1:00 p.m. ET.
