The Titans signed Kinsey off their practice squad Friday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

The 27-year-old's promotion to the active roster provides the Titans with much-needed depth at wide receiver, as Calvin Ridley (hamstring) and Bryce Oliver (knee) are both out for Sunday's matchup against the Colts. Expect Kinsey to contribute on both offense and special teams during the Week 8 divisional matchup.

Allgeier (hip/knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.

Allgeier was limited in all three of Atlanta's practices during Week 8 prep. If Allgeier's unable to suit up Sunday against a Dolphins defense that has allowed the most rushing yards in the league to running backs, Nathan Carter would assume the top backup role behind Bijan Robinson.

Mooney (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Miami, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Mooney missed Week 6 with the hamstring injury but returned last week to catch three of five targets for 68 yards while playing 83 percent of snaps in a 20-10 loss to the 49ers. He should get similar playing time this Sunday against one of the worst defenses in the league, though it isn't year clear if he'll be catching passes from Michael Penix (questionable - knee) or Kirk Cousins.

Simmons (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Colts, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Simmons was unable to practice both Wednesday and Thursday after sustaining a hamstring injury in Tennessee's Week 7 loss to the Patriots, so it's no surprise that he'll be unavailable Sunday. While he's sidelined in Week 8, expect C.J. Ravenell and James Lynch (shoulder) to see increased snaps with the Titans' first-team defense.

Yurosek had one reception for five yards on two targets in Thursday's loss to the Chargers.

It was Yurosek's first career reception as he got increased playing time (15 snaps on offense) after Josh Oliver left with a foot injury. Yurosek could have a larger role if Oliver misses time, but he'll likely be used mostly as a blocking tight end.

Oliver (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Colts, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

The Youngstown State product is now in line to miss his sixth consecutive game due to a knee injury. Oliver has appeared in two games for Tennessee this season, contributing primarily on special teams (47 snaps on special teams and 11 on offense). While he's sidelined again in Week 8, Chimere Dike is expected to serve as the Titans' primary kick returner.

Scott had two carries for 16 yards and two receptions for eight yards on two targets in Sunday's loss to the Chargers.

With Aaron Jones back from a hamstring injury, Scott worked as the No. 3 running back. He got playing time only after the game became a blowout loss as all of his touches on offense came late in the fourth quarter. He's likely to have a very small role on offense if Jones and Jordan Mason are healthy.

Head coach Mike Vrabel told reporters that Dugger (knee) is questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Browns, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Dugger likely sustained a knee injury at some point this week, as he popped up on New England's injury report Thursday as a limited practice participant. The 29-year-old started at strong safety in each of the Patriots' last two contests, recording five total tackles while Jaylinn Hawkins was sidelined with a hamstring injury. With Hawkins back to full health, Dugger is expected to operate as a reserve safety if available for Sunday's game.

Williams has cleared concussion protocol and will be available to play Sunday against New Orleans, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Williams has appeared in just one game this season, logging six snaps on special teams and two on offense. He's yet to touch the ball outside of five kick returns.

Vea (foot) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Despite the questionable tag, Vea is expected to play against New Orleans, according to Stroud. Vea has started all seven games to this point and has recorded 17 tackles (eight solo), including 2.5 sacks, and one fumble recovery on 75 percent of the defensive snaps.
