Tennessee Titans WR Calvin Ridley (hamstring) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Oct. 15.
Footballguys view: Ridley was banged up in Week 6, and he's missing the first day of practice this week. That means Fantasy GMs are going to have to pay close attention to what he does on Friday and make other preparations for Week 7. |

Tennessee Titans DT T'Vondre Sweat (ankle) had his 21-day practice window opened Wednesday, Oct. 15.
Link to storyFor the Titans and rookie quarterback Cam Ward, the letter of the moment is F. Head coach Brian Callahan was fired. And, via Michael Silver of TheAthletic.com, Ward's grade for his own performance through six games is F. "I'm not playing how I want to play right now," Ward told Silver. "So, once I play how I want to play, I think the league will be [screwed]."
Footballguys view: For now, the Titans are on the wrong end of things. Through six games, the No. 1 overall pick has the second-lowest passer rating for all qualifying starters (67.3), other than Joe Flacco (60.3). Moving forward, the same coaching staff that engineered Ward's abysmal career start remains in place, with only Callahan and his father, Bill, gone. Mike McCoy takes over for the balance of the season. This seems like a lost year for a team that's scored the second-fewest points in the NFL. But we'll be watching to see if Ward can make good on his promise to improve. |
Updating a previous report, Tennessee Titans senior offensive assistant Mike McCoy was named the team's interim head coach Monday, Oct. 13.
Footballguys view: McCoy, 53, joined the Titans as a senior offensive assistant earlier this year. The Chargers head coach from 2013-2016, McCoy has since served as the Broncos offensive coordinator (2017), the Cardinals offensive coordinator (2018), and the Jaguars quarterbacks coach (2022-2024). McCoy accumulated a 27-37 record with the Chargers during their last four seasons in San Diego. A former pro quarterback, McCoy spent time with the Broncos, Packers, 49ers, Eagles, and Seahawks in the league. Now, McCoy will need to work to develop this year's No. 1 overall pick, Cam Ward, as best he can through the rest of the season. |
Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan was fired Monday, Oct. 13.
Footballguys view: Callahan took over as head coach of the Titans in January of 2024. The team went 3-14 last season and is currently 1-5 this year. The last straw for Callahan came in Las Vegas on Sunday, a 20-10 loss after which defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons said the team had one of its worst weeks of practice. Callahan exits with a record of 4-19. An interim head coach has not yet been named. We'll follow up on that when an announcement is made. The Titans return to action on Sunday against the New England Patriots at Nissan Stadium. |

Tennessee Titans QB Cam Ward completed 26 of his 38 passes for 222 yards, a touchdown and an interception in a 20-10 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 6. He was also sacked six times and lost a pair of fumbles.
Link to storyTennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley suffered a hamstring injury in the second quarter of Sunday's game against the Las Vegas Raiders and was ruled out before the start of the third quarter. Ridley finished the day having played six snaps. The veteran receiver caught one pass for 18 yards on two targets from quarterback Cam Ward.
Footballguys view: Ridley didn't have an injury designation entering Week 6, but he was listed as questionable before last week's game against the Arizona Cardinals after suffering elbow and knee injuries. The Titans had hoped Ridley's five-reception, 131-yard performance last week in the upset over the Cardinals would lead to more production the next time he took the field. The Titans face the Patriots in Week 7. Sixth-year veteran wideout Van Jefferson would move up in the rotation with Elic Ayomanor if Ridley misses time. |

Tennessee Titans DE Oluwafemi Oladejo (calf) left the Week 6 game against the Las Vegas Raiders due to a calf injury, and he was unable to return.
Link to storyTennessee Titans WR Calvin Ridley (hamstring) left the Week 6 game against the Las Vegas Raiders due to a hamstring injury, and he will not return. He finished with one reception for 18 yards, and he was limited to just six snaps.
Footballguys view: Ridley just had his first 100-yard game with Cam Ward last week, but it sounds like we might not see him again for a while. Ward and the Titans offense has not been playing well enough to support a consistent fantasy play in the passing game. This injury won't help. |

Tennessee Titans RB Tyjae Spears (ankle) fully participated in practice Friday, Oct. 10, and is not on the injury report for Week 6.
Footballguys view: Spears was eased into his return from IR last week, playing just 25% of the offensive snaps and registering just four touches. After logging a full practice this week, expect to see him build off of that in a Week 6 matchup against the Raiders. |

Tennessee Titans RB Tony Pollard (non-injury) fully participated in practice Friday, Oct. 10, and is not on the injury report for Week 6.
Footballguys view: Wednesdays off have been pretty standard for Pollard since he joined the Titans last year. Even with Tyjae Spears back in the fold last week, Pollard maintained a strong hold on the lead job. Expect Spears to get ramped up over the next few weeks. Pollard was hardly an RB3 even with Spears on IR. A push toward a split backfield could render him benchable in fantasy. |

Tennessee Titans WR Treylon Burks (collarbone) had been on injured reserve for the team but was waived on Tuesday, Oct. 7.
Footballguys view: The Titans team physician cleared Burks to return to all football activities on Monday. If that happens, it will be elsewhere. The Titans waived Burks on Aug. 29 with an injury designation, and after he cleared waivers, he reverted to their injured reserve list, where he remained until today. Burks fractured his collarbone in a training camp practice. |
Tennessee Titans RB Tyjae Spears was on the field for 17 offensive snaps during the Week 5 game, and head coach Brian Callahan said Spears will see more work as the season goes on.
Footballguys view: Spears, who was sidelined for the first four weeks of the season due to a high right-ankle sprain, was activated from IR on Saturday after being limited in practice all week and was considered questionable heading into Sunday's game. Fantasy managers should expect Spears to spell fellow RB Tony Pollard more often going forward. As CBSSports.com reminded readers, during the 2024 regular season, Spears recorded 84 carries for 312 yards and four TDs and 30 catches (on 35 targets) for 224 yards and a score in 12 games, while Pollard logged 260 carries and 41 catches in 16 contests. |

Tennessee Titans WR Treylon Burks (collarbone) has not been released at this point and is still on the team's Reserve/Injured list.
Footballguys view: Dr. Damon Petty, the Titans' team physician, has cleared Burks to return to all football activities, Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports. The Titans waived Burks on Aug. 29 with an injury designation, and after he cleared waivers, he reverted to their injured reserve list, where he remains. Burks fractured his collarbone in a training camp practice. We'll be watching for developments, though Burks' fantasy relevance is low. |

Link to storyTennessee Titans WR Calvin Ridley registered five receptions for 131 yards on 10 targets in Week 5 against the Arizona Cardinals.
Footballguys view: As ESPN's Mike Clay noted, Ridley has had a rough start to the season partially due to brutal matchups (with Denver's Pat Surtain II, the Colts' Charvarius Ward, and Houston's Derek Stingley Jr.). Ridley had a better matchup against the Cardinals and the results give some hope to investors going forward. The Titans play the Raiders in Week 6. |
