Rotowire
Sneed (quadriceps) passed his physical and returned to practice Wednesday in a limited capacity, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Sneed started training camp on the active/PUP list due lingering quadriceps issues from last season. He was cleared to return Wednesday, and he'll likely participate in practices in a limited capacity to manage his quad injury. Sneed was limited to just five regular-season games for the Titans in 2024 and finished with 23 tackles (19 solo).

The Titans placed Sneed (knee) on the active/PUP list Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Sneed dealt with quadriceps issues most of last season and played in just five regular-season contests before his season was cut short in Week 6.

Titans' L'Jarius Sneed: Proclaims himself healthy
Rotowire
Sneed (quadriceps) recently said during his football camp that he's healthy and "ready to get back on the field," Buck Reising of 104-5 The Zone reports. "I'm healthy as I've been," Sneed proclaimed.
Sneed missed Tennessee's final 12 games last season due to a quadriceps issue and didn't participate in the Titans' minicamp in mid-June. If the former Chief is indeed back to health, he will look to rebound in the second year of the $76.4 million contract he signed in March 2024. It's still not certain that Sneed will be ready for the beginning of Tennessee's training camp, which kicks off July 22.

Titans' L'Jarius Sneed: Has brace on left leg
Rotowire
Sneed (quadriceps) was spotted in the Titans' locker room with a brace on his left leg Thursday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
Paul relays that the leg brace has to do with Snead undergoing a bone marrow injection approximately six weeks ago. Snead has been sidelined since Week 6 against the Colts, and the 2020 fourth-round pick will not play in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Texans. He'll finish his first year in Tennessee with 23 tackles (19 solo) across five regular-season games.

Rotowire
Sneed (quadriceps) is not expected to play again this season, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Sneed was traded from the Chiefs to the Titans on March 22, but his first year in Tennessee didn't go as planned, as he appeared in just five games before being placed on injured reserve due to a quadriceps issue.

Rotowire
Tennessee plans to place Sneed (quadriceps) on injured reserve Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Sneed has already missed the Titans' past five games, which makes it curious for Tennessee to have waited so long to make the decision to send him to injured reserve. This anticipated move will knock Sneed out for at least an additional four contests. His first season with the Titans has been one marred by injury. Sneed will be eligible to play again in Week 16 against the Colts.

Titans' L'Jarius Sneed: Dealt to Music City
Rotowire
Sneed was traded to the Titans on Friday in exchange for a 2025 third-round selection and 2024 seventh-round pick, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Sneed and Tennessee are expected to work out a new contract once the trade is finalized. The Chiefs placed a non-exclusive franchise tag on him prior to free agency before granting the cornerback permission to seek a trade and speak with teams around the league. That ultimately led to a deal with the Titans, where Sneed will presumably slot into the No. 1 cornerback role heading into the 2024 campaign.
