The Titans have hired Ran Carthon as their GM. Carthon has been the 49ers' director of player personnel the past 6 years and held the same role with the Rams the previous 5 years. At the top of his to-do list this offseason will be figuring out what to do at QB, where 34-year-old Ryan Tannehill carries a $36.6 million 2023 cap hit and Malik Willis is coming off an ugly rookie campaign.
The Titans fired OC Todd Downing. He deployed slow-faced, run-heavy offenses the past 2 seasons. Tennessee sunk from 17th in total yards and 15th in points in 2021 to 30th and 28th this past year. We'll see who the Titans tab to run the offense going forward -- and if that guy will open up the passing game a bit. RB Derrick Henry turned 29 last week, and Tennessee has a couple of intriguing, young talents in WR Treylon Burks and TE Chig Okonkwo.
The Titans placed QB Ryan Tannehill (ankle) on IR on Thursday. That makes the AFC Championship his earliest possible return this season. We'll see if the Titans roll with QB Malik Willis or QB Joshua Dobbs in next Sunday's must-win game vs. the Jaguars.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that Titans QB Ryan Tannehill had tightrope surgery this week in Alabama to treat his high right ankle sprain. The "best-case scenario" for Tannehill's situation is a 3-week return, which would give him a shot to play in Week 18. We wouldn't bet on him for fantasy football lineups in leagues that play through the final week of the regular season.
Titans insider Paul Kuharsky hears that QB Ryan Tannehill is "very likely" done for the season with an ankle injury that may require surgery. Tannehill has hurt this right ankle twice this season -- but was surprisingly allowed to re-enter last week's loss to the Chargers. His absence leaves QB Malik Willis at the controls the rest of the way. The rookie made 2 starts the first time Tannehill went down, TOTALING 135 passing yards on 26 attempts. Tennessee will go as run-heavy as possible with Willis, tanking the fantasy value of pass catchers like TE Chig Okonkwo and WR Treylon Burks.
Per insider Tom Pelissero, Titans QB Ryan Tannehill’s status is “in doubt” for Week 16. Tannehill played through another right ankle injury for parts of Sunday’s game against the Chargers, but it sounds like there’s a real chance he’ll miss Saturday’s matchup with Houston. If so, that’ll put QB Malik Willis back in the lineup vs. the same team he made his debut against in Week 8. The rookie is an easy avoid in season-long formats.
Titans QB Ryan Tannehill injured his right foot or ankle in the 1st quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Titans. He made his way off the field but was eventually carted to the locker room. We'll update his status when we know more.
Update: Tannehill has an ankle injury, the team announced. It's the same right ankle he hurt back in Week 7, forcing him to miss the next 2 games.
Update: Tannehill returned in the 2nd quarter.
Titans QB Ryan Tannehill (ankle) is not listed on the final injury report for this weekend’s game vs. the Jaguars. He was limited in Wednesday’s practice but a full-go on Thursday and Friday. The ankle shouldn’t be an issue on Sunday.
Titans QB Ryan Tannehill (ankle) was limited in Wednesday's practice. This injury is to the opposite ankle that he hurt earlier this season. Tannehill was able to play through the issue last week and should be fine for Sunday's game vs. the Jaguars.
Titans QB Ryan Tannehill returned from a 2-game ankle sprain to throw for 255 yards and 2 TDs in Sunday's win over the Broncos. Tannehill now has 3 games in the 255-266 range of passing yardage, with 4 others of 181 or less. We'll see whether the ankle -- which still had him questionable for this game -- factors into Tannehill's readiness for a Thursday night trip to Green Bay in Week 11.
Titans QB Ryan Tannehill (ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Broncos. Still probably not at 100% and facing the #2 QB defense, Tannehill is not a recommended fantasy start.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport confirms that Titans QB Ryan Tannehill (ankle) is expected to start Sunday's game vs. the Broncos. Tannehill practiced all week, including 1 full workout on Thursday. There's still a chance that his mobility is compromised, though, and the matchup is brutal vs. Denver's 2nd-ranked QB defense. Tannehill isn't even a recommended QB2 starter, but we'd still consider him good news for Tennessee's offense.
