Key recorded six total tackles (three solo), including 2.0 sacks, in Sunday's 52-14 loss to the Lions. The 28-year-old was one of three Titans to get after the quarterback in Sunday's blowout loss, taking down Jared Goff twice in the first quarter. Key has begun to heat up after a slow start to his 2024 campaign, having now recorded 17 total tackles, including 3.0 sacks, defended one pass and forced one fumble through Tennessee's first seven games. He's expected to continue starting opposite Harold Landry as part of the Titans' top edge-rushing duo for the remainder of the season.

Key recorded two tackles (two solo) including 1.0 sacks during Sunday's 34-10 loss at Buffalo. It took until Week 7, but Key was finally able to put a notch in the sack column in what was otherwise a dismal day for the Titans' defense. Because Tennessee is so often playing from behind, Key hasn't gotten as many opportunities to rush the passer up to this point in 2024 as in seasons past.

Key (hamstring) was left off Tennessee's injury report Wednesday ahead of Sunday's Week 1 game against the Bears, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports. Key tweaked his hamstring toward the end of August, and it appears he's already moved past the issue. The veteran linebacker had the best year of his career with the Titans in 2023, recording 101 total tackles, including 6.0 sacks, and defending two passes across 17 regular-season games. He's expected to line up opposite Harold Landry as the duo headlines Tennessee's pass-rush unit in 2024.

Key is dealing with a minor hamstring issue, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports. Per Wyatt, the team hopes that Key will be back in action next week. Key, who coach Brian Callahan said has solidified himself as a three-down linebacker with a solid showing in camp, reportedly recently won his appeal to overturn a six-game suspension under the NFL's policy against performance-enhancing substances, according to The Athletic. Key is projected to man a starting outside linebacker slot for the Titans opposite Harold Landry.

Key is facing a six-game suspension for violating the league's rules against performance-enhancing drugs, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports. It's not clear whether Key will appeal the suspension, but if it holds up, he won't be eligible to return until Week 8 against the Lions. The 2018 third-round pick out of LSU played in all 17 regular-season games for the Titans in 2023, finishing the year with 30 tackles (17 solo), including 6.0 sacks, two passes defended and two forced fumbles. If Key is suspended, Rashad Weaver and Caleb Murphy will compete for the second starting edge rusher spot opposite Harold Landry.
