Titans' Oluwafemi Oladejo: Won't return vs. Las Vegas
Rotowire
Oladejo (calf) was ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Raiders, John Glennon of NashvillePost.com reports.
Oladejo was evaluated by trainers on the sideline for the calf injury, which has been deemed to be too severe for him to return to Sunday's contest. Jihad Ward and Jaylen Harrell will continue to see more snaps at outside linebacker due to the absences of Oladejo and Arden Key (quadriceps).

Rotowire
Oladejo is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Raiders due to a right calf injury, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
Oladejo is being evaluated by medical staff on the sidelines to determine whether he can return to Sunday's game. The Titans are already without Arden Key (quadriceps), so Jihad Ward and Jaylen Harrell should see more snaps at outside linebacker opposite Dre'Mont Jones for as long as Oladejo is out of the game. Oladejo logged three tackles (two solo), including two for a loss, prior to his injury.

Titans' Marcus Harris: Won't play in Week 6
Rotowire
Harris (calf) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Raiders, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Harris logged consecutive DNPs to begin the Titans' week of practice, dealing with an apparent calf injury after playing 24 special-teams snaps during the Week 5 win over the Cardinals. The rookie sixth-round pick has played just two defensive snaps all season, so his absence will likely have minimal impact on Tennessee's defense in Week 6.
