Titans' Chig Okonkwo: Hauls in first TD of 2025
Chigoziem Okonkwo caught six of eight targets for 44 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-9 win over Kansas City.The fourth-year tight end tied his season high in receptions and set a new season high in targets while getting into the end zone for the first time in 2025, as he connected with Cam Ward on a seven-yard score in the second quarter. Okonkwo appeared to have fallen behind rookie Gunnar Helm on the depth chart a few weeks ago, but the two have seen roughly equal usage of late, with Okonkwo's 12-97-1 line on 16 targets over the last three games nosing ahead of Helm's 7-66-1 line on nine targets. Okonkwo will look to build on this performance in Week 17 against the Saints.

Titans' Chig Okonkwo: In line to play Sunday
Chigoziem Okonkwo (foot), who is officially questionable for Sunday's game against Jacksonville, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.Okonkwo has been dealing with a foot issue since late October, but it hasn't yet caused him to miss any games. He appears likely to suit up again in Week 13, despite sitting out Thursday's practice and being limited in two others. Okonkwo and fellow tight end Gunnar Helm have logged near-identical offensive snap counts each of the past two weeks, so it wouldn't be surprising for that trend to continue Sunday.
