Titans' L'Jarius Sneed: Will play against Indianapolis
Rotowire
Sneed (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Colts, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Sneed was a full participant in Friday's practice after logging back-to-back DNPs to open the week. He saw a limited snap count Week 1 due to a lingering knee injury but played 56 defensive snaps against the Rams in Week 2. With Jarvis Brownlee (ankle) inactive, Sneed will step into an even larger role in the secondary along with Roger McCreary, Amani Hooker and Xavier Woods.

Titans' L'Jarius Sneed: Good to go vs. Denver
Rotowire
Sneed (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Broncos.
Sneed had a cleanup procedure on his left knee during the offseason, but he was able to practice in a limited capacity this past week and will play in Sunday's regular-season opener. The 2020 fourth-rounder signed a four-year, $76.4 million contract with the Titans in March of 2024 after being acquired by the Chiefs but played in just five regular-season games in his first year with Tennessee. It wouldn't be surprising to see Sneed operate on a snap count, which would give Darrell Baker more opportunities to see defensive snaps at outside corner opposite Jarvis Brownlee.

Titans' L'Jarius Sneed: Trending towards playing Week 1
Rotowire
Head coach Brian Callahan said Thursday that Sneed (quadriceps) is "trending in the right direction" to play in Week 1 against the Broncos on Sunday, Sept. 7, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Sneed started training camp on the active/PUP list due to a lingering quadriceps injury from the 2024 season. He was cleared to return to practice at the tail end of training camp, and his practice participation next week will indicate his chances of playing in Tennessee's regular-season opener. Roger McCreary, Darrell Baker and the recently acquired Jalyn Armour-Davis would be the top candidates to start at outside corner opposite Jarvis Brownlee if Sneed is unable to play in Week 1.

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.

Titans' L'Jarius Sneed: Headed to injured reserve
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.
