Titans-Browns Wednesday Injury Report: Derrick Henry limited

There’s concern for both sides on the first Tennessee Titans and Cleveland Browns injury report of the week

The Tennessee Titans (1-1) and Cleveland Browns (1-1) released their first injury report of the week ahead of Sunday’s clash at Cleveland Browns Stadium. Of note for the Titans, superstar running back Derrick Henry was limited with a toe designation. Amani Hooker (concussion) and Kristian Fulton (hamstring) returned to practice as full participants.

Hooker has not yet cleared the concussion protocol, but was cleared to return to practice. It indicates Hooker will be fully cleared later this week. Fulton also returned to...

Peter Skoronski to miss second straight game for the Titans

Peter Skoronski to miss second straight game for the Titans

The rookie left guard had a “procedure” late last week

Mike Vrabel said today that he doesn’t expect Peter Skoronski to be available this week. Vrabel said on Monday that Skoronski had a procedure last week. It sounds like it was an appendectomy. They have not put him on IR to this point, so they must have some confidence he will miss less than four games. A little googling revealed that Pittsburgh Steelers safety Minkah Fitzpatrick had an appendectomy last season and was back just eight days later - for whatever that’s worth.

Xavier Newman started in Skoronski’s place on...

Report: Kareem Hunt signing with Cleveland Browns

Report: Kareem Hunt signing with Cleveland Browns

This was a pretty obvious move as soon as Nick Chubb went down.

As soon as Nick Chubb went down with his season-ending knee injury on Monday Night Football there was speculation that Kareem Hunt would be joining the Cleveland Browns. That is indeed happening today according to Mary Kay Cabot:

Hunt spent the last four seasons with the Browns before being unable to find a team to sign with this offseason. There were rumors that he was close to signing with the New Orleans Saints and Indianapolis Colts this summer. This is probably the best fit for him from...

Titans Reacts Survey Week 3

Titans Reacts Survey Week 3

How are we feeling about the direction the Titans are heading this week?

As I said last week, these confidence surveys swing wildly depending on the result of the game that week. The Titans won this week, so I am assuming that confidence in the team will be way up. My confidence in this team has been pretty strong from the beginning. They aren’t a great team, but they are good enough to make a run at the AFC South division crown. That didn’t change much last week although I was more worried after how poorly Ryan Tannehill played. Good...

Titans promote DT Kyle Peko, release DL Jayden Peevy

Titans promote DT Kyle Peko, release DL Jayden Peevy

The Titans made a trio of transactions across their defensive line on Tuesday

The Tennessee Titans are promoting defensive tackle Kyle Peko from the practice squad to their 53-man roster, the team confirmed on Tuesday. To make room for Peko, the Titans released fellow defensive tackle Jayden Peevy from the roster. They also released defensive linemen Michael Dwumfour from the practice squad.

This represents Peko’s second stint with the Titans. The former undrafted free agent out of Oregon State was a late addition in this year’s training camp. He was initially released during cut-down day, but was swiftly re-signed to...

Through two weeks the Titans offensive line has been good!

Through two weeks the Titans offensive line has been good!

The Titans just need average play from the offensive line. They have gotten better than that through two weeks.

If you are like me, there was a point late in the first half on Sunday that you felt like Dennis Daley was once again playing for the Tennessee Titans. The offensive line looked that brutal. Fortunately for the Titans, they got better as the game went along on Sunday.

Take a look at this graphic from Ben Baldwin on Twitter:

So when you combine the grades from PFF and the Win Rate from ESPN, the Titans were close to the...

Nick Chubb suffers knee injury Monday night

Nick Chubb suffers knee injury Monday night

You always hate to see one of the greats in the game go down

The Cleveland Browns haven’t announced exactly what the knee injury is that Nick Chubb suffered last night, but there is no doubt that it will end his season. That obviously makes the Tennessee Titans' task against the Browns a little easier this week, but you never want to see that happen to a guy - especially considering he had a catastrophic injury to the same knee while in college at Georgia.

Listen to today’s Home Run Throwback for more on Chubb and what the Titans need...

Titans offensive line regressed in pass protection vs. Chargers

The new-look Titans OL struggled versus the Chargers

Tennessee Titans starting quarterback Ryan Tannehill was sacked on five occasions during Sunday’s 27-24 overtime victory over the Los Angeles Chargers. It represented an increase on the three sacks Tannehill suffered in Week 1. Regression from a new-look offensive line was to be expected.

The Titans posted a pass-block win rate of 67% in Week 1, according to ESPN Stats & Info. That ranked fifth in the entire NFL. Tennessee’s run-block win rate was even better at 75 percent, which ranked third of 32. It was a bit of a different story...

My favorite play call from Titans OC Tim Kelly Sunday

My favorite play call from Titans OC Tim Kelly Sunday

This one was really fun

Tim Kelly has done a really good job through two weeks. The offense was rough in New Orleans, but that had way more to do with how much Ryan Tannehill struggled than it did with play calling. They also got off to a rough start on Sunday but that was due to some pretty big busts on the offensive line. Once things settled in on the line, you really got to see what this offense can be.

My favorite play call of the day was the triple option that Ryan Tannehill took in for a...

Bryce Young makes his home debut

We have a really weird concurrent two Monday Night Football games tonight. The first game between the New Orleans Saints and Carolina Panthers kicks off at 6:15 central and will air on ESPN. The second game between the Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Pirates kicks off at 7:15 central and will air on ABC. Why did the NFL decide to play two games tonight at the same time? Who knows?

Bryce Young is going to be a great quarterback, but this year is going to be a struggle for him. They don’t have a lot...

How the Titans utilized play action to get QB Ryan Tannehill back on track

How the Titans utilized play action to get QB Ryan Tannehill back on track

Ryan Tannehill was absolutely surgical on play-action attempts, according to the advanced metrics

The Tennessee Titans defeated the Los Angeles Chargers 27-24 in an overtime thriller on Sunday. Starting quarterback Ryan Tannehill was extremely efficient throughout the victory. Tannehill completed 20-of-24 passing attempts for 246 yards and one touchdown. Tannehill’s 83.3 percent completion percentage was the highest single-game mark of his career (minimum qualifier, 20 attempts). Tannehill’s passer rating improved from 28.2 in Week 1 to 123.3 on Sunday.

Tannehill and the Titans especially found success via play-action attempts. Tannehill completed 7-of-9 passing attempts for 168 yards on play action,...

Titans GM Ran Carthon gets first win

Titans GM Ran Carthon gets first win

What a cool way to get his first W

It didn’t even hit me until I saw the video the Tennessee Titans posted last night that the win yesterday was Ran Carthon’s first as the general manager. An overtime win at home for the first win is something I’m sure Carthon and his family will never forget - especially considering it was pretty much his last acquisition before the 2023 season started, Nick Folk, that kicked the game-winner.

Carthon has done well to supplement the roster he was given. Tyjae Spears, who he drafted in the third round, had a...
