Boyd (shoulder) didn't practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Fellow wideout Calvin Ridley (shoulder) also didn't practice Wednesday, so the duo's status is worth monitoring ahead of Sunday's game against the Patriots. With DeAndre Hopkins now with the Chiefs and Treylon Burks (knee) on IR, Boyd and Ridley are in line to maintain steady roles in Tennessee's offense alongside Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, when healthy. Boyd is coming off a Week 8 effort in which logged three catches on six targets for 14 yards in a 52-14 loss to the Lions, bringing his season-long receiving line to 21/184/0 on 30 targets through seven games.

Titans' Tyler Boyd: Targeted six times in loss
Rotowire
Boyd recorded three catches on six targets for 14 yards in Sunday's loss 52-14 loss to the Lions.
Boyd finished second on the team with six targets, though he didn't take advantage. He should continue to operate as a key member of Tennessee's wide receiver corps with DeAndre Hopkins now in Kansas City, though that's not likely to lead to much production given the state of the team's offense.

Titans' Tyler Boyd: Leads team in receptions
Rotowire
Boyd recorded five receptions on five targets for 43 yards in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Bills.
Boyd was a relative bright spot in the Tennessee offense, as he led the team in receptions and finished second in yardage. Nevertheless, his longest gain went for just 12 yards, and Boyd has still yet to reach 50 receiving yards in a game on the campaign.

Titans' Tyler Boyd: Another three catches
Rotowire
Boyd recorded three receptions (on three targets) for 19 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Colts.
Boyd continued in his typical role as the primary slot receiver in Tennessee's offense and has seen at least three targets in all but one game this season while recording two or three catches in every contest. Though he has a stable role, he hasn't topped 33 yards in any game, in part due to the stagnant Titans scheme.

Titans' Tyler Boyd: Records 31 yards
Rotowire
Boyd recorded two receptions on two targets for 31 yards in Monday's 31-12 win over the Dolphins.
Only DeAndre Hopkins saw more than two targets in the Titans' offense during Monday's win. Boyd did manage to tie with Hopkins for the team lead in yardage thanks to a 27-yard reception just before halftime. Despite the relative positivity, Boyd has yet to top 33 receiving yards in a game this season.

Titans' Tyler Boyd: Records 33 yards
Rotowire
Boyd recorded three catches (on four targets) for 33 yards in Sunday's 30-14 loss to the Packers.
Boyd has had a steady role in the Tennessee offense through three games, tallying at least four targets while playing 70-plus percent of snaps in each contest. That's still led to relatively little production, as Sunday's performance was his highest yardage total of the campaign.

Titans' Tyler Boyd: Held to two catches
Rotowire
Boyd recorded two receptions (on five targets) for 26 yards in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Jets.
Boyd was on the field for the second-most snaps among the Titans' receiving corps as DeAndre Hopkins continues to ramp up from a knee injury. Boyd's time on the field hasn't translated to production, however, as he has just five catches for 44 yards combined across his first two games with Tennessee.

Titans' Tyler Boyd: Three catches in Titans debut
Rotowire
Boyd recorded three receptions (on five targets) for 18 yards in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Bears.
Boyd was on the field for 83 percent of snaps, the second-highest on the team as DeAndre Hopkins was limited by a long-term knee injury. Despite finishing second on the team in targets, Boyd had limited production due to working primarily in the short areas of the field. He should maintain a significant role in the Tennessee offense, though it's unclear how effective Will Levis will be distributing the ball.

Titans' Tyler Boyd: Makes first connection with Levis
Rotowire
Boyd caught his only target for 22 yards in Sunday's 30-27 preseason win over the Saints.
Boyd and the first-team offense played two drives, and the veteran slot receiver got the chance to record his first catch on a Will Levis pass in a game situation. Both Boyd and fellow offseason addition Calvin Ridley are expected to play key roles in Tennessee's passing game, and Boyd could see some extra attention from Levis in the Sept. 8 regular-season opener against the Bears if wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (knee) is unavailable or limited.

Titans' Tyler Boyd: Waiting on first catch with Titans
Rotowire
Boyd did not play in Saturday's 16-15 preseason win over the Seahawks.
The Titans have opted to play their starters sparingly this preseason, as Will Levis has attempted only five passes. Boyd has yet to find the stat sheet as a result, but he should have a significant role in the offense, particularly so long as DeAndre Hopkins (knee) is sidelined.

Titans' Tyler Boyd: Finds home in Tennessee
Rotowire
Boyd and the Titans agreed to terms Tuesday on a one-year contract worth up to $4.5 million, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Boyd becomes the newest member of a revamped Tennessee wide receiver corps that added Calvin Ridley atop the depth chart in free agency, joining DeAndre Hopkins and Treylon Burks. Ridley and Hopkins figure to operate as Will Levis' clear top targets, as both exceeded 1,000 receiving yards last season. Boyd's experience as a slot option could make him the favorite to secure the No. 3 role over Burks, who lined up in the slot over 60 percent of the time last year. In both 2018 and 2019, Boyd himself topped 1,000 yards, but in four seasons since took a clear backseat to Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins with the Bengals.

Tyler Boyd: Interested in joining hometown team
Rotowire
Boyd and the Steelers have mutual interest, though no signing is imminent for the veteran free-agent receiver, Mark Kaboly of The Athletic reports.
Boyd is from Western Pennsylvania and went to college at Pittsburgh, so it comes as little surprise that he has interest in joining one of the Bengals' division rivals. He spent the first eight years of his career in Cincinnati, where he topped 1,000 yards in 2018 and again in 2019 before taking a back seat in the Bengals offense to Tee Higgins and then Ja'Marr Chase. The 29-year-old has mostly worked out of the slot, especially in recent years, but he could also get perimeter snaps in a Pittsburgh offense with minimal talent at wideout behind George Pickens.

Bengals' Tyler Boyd: Hitting free agency after down year
Rotowire
Boyd caught one of two targets for four yards in Sunday's 31-14 win over the Browns. He finishes the season 67 catches for 667 yards and two touchdowns on 98 targets.
Boyd didn't miss a game but finished with his lowest yardage and touchdown totals since 2017. The veteran slot receiver will be a free agent this offseason after spending his first eight NFL seasons in Cincinnati.

Bengals' Tyler Boyd: Targeted twice in loss
Rotowire
Boyd recorded two receptions on two targets for 29 yards in Sunday's 25-17 loss to the Chiefs.
Tee Higgins was forced to miss a significant portion of Sunday's game due to a hamstring injury, but that didn't result in additional volume for Boyd. His two targets marked his fewest on the campaign, and he's now been held to under 30 yards in four of his last seven contests.

Bengals' Tyler Boyd: Five catches in Week 16 loss
Rotowire
Boyd caught five of seven targets for 59 yards in Saturday's 34-11 loss to the Steelers.
Boyd produced Cincinnati's longest play of the first half with a 29-yard catch, but the Bengals took a 24-0 deficit into the locker room. He finished one target shy of the team lead shared by Tee Higgins and Andrei Iosivas in Ja'Marr Chase's (shoulder) absence. Heading into a Week 17 trip to Kansas City, Boyd has caught 64 of 94 targets for 634 yards and two touchdowns. The slot receiver needs 128 yards and two touchdowns over the next two games just to tie his lowest single-season total in each category from the previous five campaigns.

Bengals' Tyler Boyd: Week 16 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Boyd will get a boost in value if Ja'Marr Chase (shoulder) is out in Week 16 at Pittsburgh as expected, and we'll see when Chase is able to return. Boyd doesn't have the same upside as he would with Joe Burrow (wrist), but Jake Browning should give Boyd the chance to be a No. 3 Fantasy receiver in deeper leagues. He has seven games this season with at least seven targets, and Boyd scored at least 11.2 PPR points in three of them. With Chase out, Boyd should get seven-plus targets against the Steelers in Week 16.

Bengals' Tyler Boyd: Plays hero in overtime
Rotowire
Boyd caught two passes for 53 yards on five targets in the 27-24 overtime win against the Vikings on Saturday.
Boyd was mostly a non-factor -- indeed, he went into overtime with one catch for nine yards on four targets -- but he arguably made up for that with his 44-yard reception in overtime. Boyd's big play put the Bengals in range for the game-winning field goal -- a timely contribution given that Ja'Marr Chase (shoulder) left the game in the second half. If Chase were to miss any time with the injury, Boyd would likely see an increased target share as a result. The Bengals go to Pittsburgh for Week 16.

Bengals' Tyler Boyd: Cleared for Saturday's game
Rotowire
Boyd (foot/ankle) doesn't carry an injury designation into Saturday's game against the Vikings after turning in a full practice Thursday.
Boyd and Ja'Marr Chase (ankle) were both limited participants in Wednesday's practice session, but the two wideouts have received the green light to play this weekend after closing the week with a full practice session. For the fourth game in a row, Boyd will be working with Jake Browning as his quarterback following the season-ending wrist injury to Joe Burrow. Over Browning's first three starts, Boyd has cobbled together a 10-83-0 receiving line on 15 targets and has carried once for five yards.

Bengals' Tyler Boyd: Logs another limited listing
Rotowire
Boyd (foot/ankle) was listed as a limited participant at Wednesday's practice.
Boyd was also deemed limited on Tuesday's report, so in order to approach Saturday's game against the Vikings minus an injury designation, he'll presumably need to upgrade to full participation Thursday. Fellow wideout Ja'Marr Chase (ankle) was also listed as limited Wednesday, but he told Ben Baby of ESPN.com prior to the session that he feels 100 percent healthy and expects to play this weekend.

Bengals' Tyler Boyd: Limited in first Week 15 practice
Rotowire
Boyd (foot/ankle) was listed as a limited participant on Tuesday's estimated practice report, Jay Morrison of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
Cincinnati held a walk-through session to kick off Week 15 prep, but if the team had taken the field for a traditional practice, Boyd would have had some restrictions. The wideout was listed as questionable leading up to this past Sunday's game against the Colts due to an ankle issue, but he suited up and finished with two catches for 23 yards on three targets while playing 31 of the Bengals' 60 snaps on offense in the 34-14 win. Boyd should be ready to play this coming Saturday in a Week 15 matchup with the Vikings.
