Titans' Carnell Tate: Just one catch in Week 5 loss
Tate caught one of five targets for six yards in Sunday's 26-3 loss to the Texans.
It was a rough game overall for Cam Ward and the Titans' passing game, with Tate's numbers being emblematic of the unit's struggles, and it's not clear how much the back issue he dealt with in practice this week was limiting him. It was an especially disappointing showing for the fourth overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft after his 9-145-0 line on 12 targets the week before, but growing pains are to be expected in Tennessee's low-wattage offense. Tate will take a 23-273-0 line on 37 targets through his first five pro games into a Week 6 tilt against the Colts.

Titans' Carnell Tate: Suiting up Week 5
Tate (back) is active for Sunday's game against the Texans.
Tate was limited in the Titans' final two Week 5 practices due to the back issue, but the injury apparently won't be enough of a concern to keep the rookie wideout off the field Sunday. The No. 4 overall pick in the draft is coming off a career-best performance in the Titans' 24-18 loss to the Ravens in Week 4, when he tallied nine catches for 145 yards on 12 targets.

Titans' Carnell Tate: Expected to play Sunday
Tate (back), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans, is "definitely trending" toward playing, a source tells Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com.
After a breakout Week 4 performance in a loss to Baltimore (nine catches for 145 yards on 12 targets), Tate has been slowed by a back injury in Week 5. Tate was limited in practices Thursday and Friday, but head coach Robert Saleh said following the latter session that the Titans anticipated that the rookie wideout would be ready to go for Sunday. Tate still looks to be in a good spot on the health front heading into Sunday's game, with official confirmation on his status set to arrive when Tennessee posts its inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

Titans' Carnell Tate: Officially questionable, should play
Tate (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans.
Tate was added to the injury report Thursday as a limited participant, and he was again limited at Friday's session. It's a good sign that he hasn't missed a practice entirely, and Titans coach Robert Saleh said Friday that the rookie was ready to play. It sounds like Tate might be listed as 'probable' if the designation still existed, but fantasy managers will still want to make sure he's active ahead of a 1:00 p.m ET kickoff Sunday.

Titans' Carnell Tate: Good to go for Sunday
Head coach Robert Saleh said Friday that Tate (back) is good to go for Sunday's game against the Texans, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
Tate was limited by some back tightness this week, according to Saleh, but the first-round rookie will be out there for his normal role against Houston. After commanding 42.9 percent of the targets in last Sunday's loss to the Ravens, Tate's arrow appears to be pointing upward after a slow first couple weeks of the season. He's the unquestioned No. 1 receiver in Tennessee's anemic offense.

Titans' Carnell Tate: Limited by back injury Thursday
Tate (back) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
This is a new injury for Tate, who practiced without limitations Wednesday. The rookie fourth overall pick is coming off the best performance of his young NFL career, as Tate compiled nine catches for 145 yards in this past Sunday's 28-14 loss to the Ravens. A return to full participation Friday would help Tate avoid taking an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Texans.

Titans' Carnell Tate: Career-best day in loss to Ravens
Tate caught nine of 12 targets for 145 yards in Sunday's 24-18 loss to Baltimore.
While the fourth overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft is still looking for his first career touchdown, Tate looked the part of a No. 1 wideout Sunday, as his 145 receiving yards were more than he'd produced in his first three games combined. He'll take a 22-268-0 line on 32 targets, and some real momentum, into a Week 5 home tile against the Texans, whose secondary just got shredded by CeeDee Lamb for 17 catches, 189 yards and a TD.

Titans' Carnell Tate: Volume steps up in Week 3 loss
Tate caught six of nine targets for 58 yards in Sunday's 12-7 loss to the Giants.
The fourth overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft set new season highs in catches, targets and receiving yards while leading the Titans in the latter category, although Wan'Dale Robinson caught one more pass and was on the other end of Cam Ward's only TD of the day. Through three games, Tate leads the team with 20 targets, turning them into a modest 13-123-0 line in one of the league's weakest passing attacks. Tate will try to keep building chemistry with Ward in a Week 4 road trip to Baltimore.

Titans' Carnell Tate: Nondescript day again in Week 2
Tate caught three of five targets for 27 yards in the Titans' 24-20 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.
Tate's five targets paced the Titans, but eight different members of the team drew targets on a day Cam Ward attempted just 20 passes. It's become evident that Tennessee would prefer to hide Ward rather than highlight him, and therefore the offense is going to have a really tough time supporting any pass catchers as reliable fantasy starters. Tate has a measly seven catches for 65 scoreless yards on 11 targets through two career regular-season games. He won't be an exciting fantasy bet next Sunday against the Giants.

Titans' Carnell Tate: Four catches in NFL debut
Tate caught four of six targets for 38 yards in Sunday's 23-10 loss to the Jets.
Tate tied Wan'Dale Robinson for the team lead in receiving yards and targets, but Tennessee's entire passing game struggled as Cam Ward threw for a mere 140 yards. The Titans overhauled their wide receiver room by drafting Tate fourth overall out of Ohio State and signing Robinson to a four-year, $78 million contract in the offseason, but the results Sunday didn't look much different compared to the team that went 3-14 last season. Tate should continue to function as one of Ward's top targets in Week 2 against a stout Eagles secondary.

Titans' Carnell Tate: Off injury report
Tate (undisclosed) is off the injury report ahead of the Titans' season opener against the Jets, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
This is a great development for Tate after he dealt with an undisclosed issue late in preseason. Tate is now on track to make his NFL debut in Week 1, when he will be a focal point of the Titans' passing game.
