Coach Brian Callahan said Wednesday that he expects Awuzie (groin) to return to practice ahead of Week 13, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports. Awuzie is in line to miss his eighth straight game in Week 12 as he nurses a nagging groin issue, but it now looks like a return to action is within sight. If he does return to practice next week, it would give him a path to play at Washington in Week 13.

There's optimism Awuzie (groin) could return to practice within two to three weeks, John Glennon of NashvillePost.com reports. Awuzie has been on IR for Tennessee's last five games due to a groin issue he picked up in Week 3 versus the Packers, but there's reason to believe it won't be long before he's back on the field. In the meantime, Darrell Baker figures to continue to see increased work.

The Titans placed Awuzie (groin) on injured reserve Friday. Coach Brian Callahan had already said this move was coming this week. Awuzie started all three games to begin the season, registering four tackles (three solo) before going down last week against the Packers. Look for Jarvis Brownlee to enter the rotation at cornerback alongside L'Jarius Sneed and Roger McCreary for Tennessee. Awuzie will be eligible to return in Week 9 against the Patriots since the Titans have a Week 5 bye.

Head coach Brian Callahan said Monday that Awuzie's groin injury will keep him out for weeks, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports. Awuzie exited Sunday's loss to the Packers early with the injury and was unable to return. Any extended absence, which it appears he is facing, will be a blow to the Titans' secondary and lead to extra opportunities for Jarvis Brownlee and Darrell Baker.

Awuzie (calf) is active for Sunday's game against the Bears, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports. The cornerback should be in line to start opposite L'Jarius Sneed. Awuzie popped up on the injury report Friday. The eighth-year pro signed a three-year, $36-million contract with the Titans in the offseason after spending the previous three seasons with the Bengals.
