NFL Player News

Jones (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports.

Jones missed the final two practices of the week due to a knee injury, but he has done enough in pregame warmups to be given the green light to play Sunday. His availability is crucial for a Titans' defense that will be without Arden Key (quadriceps) for a second consecutive game, which opens the door for Jaylen Harrell and Jihad Ward to see more snaps at outside linebacker in Week 7. Jones has 17 tackles (eight solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one fumble recovery through the first six games of the regular season.

Jarrett (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Saints.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported Saturday that Jarrett was expected to play Week 7, but the veteran defensive lineman has not progressed enough in his recovery from a knee injury to return Sunday. Jarrett will be sidelined for a third consecutive game, and his absence means Shemar Turner, Andrew Billings and Chris Williams will continue to see more rotational snaps at defensive tackle. Jarrett's next opportunity to play is Week 8 against the Ravens on Sunday, Oct. 26.

Fulton (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Fulton was sidelined by an ankle injury early in the season, but he didn't appear on the injury report at all leading up to Sunday's game against the Raiders. He appears to have slipped behind Josh Williams on the depth chart due to special teams usage.

Hawkins (hamstring) is inactive Sunday against the Titans.

Hawkins is inactive with a hamstring injury for a second consecutive week. Kyle Dugger will once again get the start at strong safety while Hawkins continues to recover.

Wilson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Browns.

Despite Tyreek Hill (knee) being out for the season, Wilson is a healthy scratch for a second straight game. He missed time early in the campaign due to a knee injury, but he's been off the injury report the past two weeks.

Homer (calf) is active for Sunday's game against the Saints.

Homer was activated from injured reserve Saturday, and the 2019 sixth-rounder has been cleared to make his 2025 regular-season debut after fully recovering from a calf injury. With lead back D'Andre Swift (groin) cleared to play Sunday, Homer will likely see most of his work on special teams while Roschon Johnson and Kyle Monangai provide rotational depth out of the backfield.

DeVito is the Patriots' inactive third QB for Sunday's game against the Titans.

Joshua Dobbs will thus continue to serve as Drake Maye's top backup versus Tennessee. Look for DeVito to remain the team's emergency No. 3 QB as long as Maye and Dobbs both remain healthy.

Sanders (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Sanders played three snaps on offense during the Browns' season-opening loss to the Bengals but has not seen the field since. The Browns will go with a three-man backfield of Quinshon Judkins, Jerome Ford and Dylan Sampson again.

Sweat (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports.

Sweat has been on injured reserve since Week 1 but is set to make his return. He practiced in limited fashion throughout the week leading up to Sunday's matchup against New England, so he may have his snaps limited initially.

Jones (hip) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Panthers.

Jones drew the doubtful tag for Week 7 after not practicing all week, and he'll observe Sunday's home game on the sidelines in street clothes. Ja'Markis Weston was activated from injured reserve Saturday, and he could see a sizeable snap count at outside linebacker opposite Francisco Mauigoa due to Jones' injury. Jones' next opportunity to play is Week 8 against the Bengals on Sunday, Oct. 26.
