Snead (quadricep) didn't participate in Tennessee's practice Wednesday.

Titans' L'Jarius Sneed: Out for Sunday
Rotowire
Head coach Brian Callahan said Friday that Sneed (quadricep) won't play in Sunday's game against the Lions, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
Callahan also explained that the damage to Sneed's quadricep is worse than initially thought to be, which is why the cornerback is taking a longer than expected to heal, per Davenport. Expect Darrell Baker to continue seeing increased snaps in the Tennessee secondary until Sneed can return to the field.

Titans' L'Jarius Sneed: Inactive versus Buffalo
Rotowire
Sneed (quadriceps) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bills.
Sneed wasn't able to practice all week but was listed as questionable on Friday's final injury report. Look for Jarvis Brownlee to get extra work at cornerback against Buffalo and its new No. 1 wideout Amari Cooper.

Titans' L'Jarius Sneed: Questionable for Sunday
Rotowire
Sneed (quadriceps) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bills, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Sneed was unable to practice all week after likely sustaining a quadriceps injury in the Titans' Week 6 loss to the Colts. However, the first-year Titan still has a chance to suit up for Sunday's contest. If Sneed is unable to play through his quadriceps issue in Week 7, expect Jarvis Brownlee to see additional work with Tennessee's first-team defense.

Sneed didn't participate in practice Wednesday due to a quadricep injury, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
Sneed logged 65 defensive snaps during the Titans' Week 6 loss to the Colts and finished the contest with eight tackles (seven solo).

Rotowire
Sneed (hamstring) listed as active for Monday night's game against the Dolphins.

Titans' L'Jarius Sneed: Dealt to Music City
Rotowire
Sneed was traded to the Titans on Friday in exchange for a 2025 third-round selection and 2024 seventh-round pick, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Sneed and Tennessee are expected to work out a new contract once the trade is finalized. The Chiefs placed a non-exclusive franchise tag on him prior to free agency before granting the cornerback permission to seek a trade and speak with teams around the league. That ultimately led to a deal with the Titans, where Sneed will presumably slot into the No. 1 cornerback role heading into the 2024 campaign.
Sneed (calf) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Sneed has been featured on Chiefs injury reports in recent weeks due to the calf issue, but aside from sitting out Week 18 when Kansas City rested several of its key regulars in advance of the postseason, the fourth-year cornerback hasn't missed any time. Assuming he upgrades to full practice participation by Friday, Sneed should avoid an injury designation for Sunday's AFC Championship Game matchup with the Ravens.

Chiefs' L'Jarius Sneed: On track to play Saturday
Rotowire
Sneed (calf) was a full participant at practice Wednesday.
Sneed was sidelined for Kansas City's regular-season finale due to a calf injury, but it now looks like he'll suit up in the wild-card round. His availability should be a big boost to a defense preparing to line up across from Tyreek Hill (ankle) and Jaylen Waddle (ankle).

Chiefs' L'Jarius Sneed: Notches three stops in Week 17 win
Rotowire
Sneed tallied three tackles (two solo) against the Bengals in a 25-17 win Sunday.
Sneed entered Sunday as a game-time decision due to a calf injury but was ultimately able to suit up and play all 71 of the Chiefs' defensive snaps. Though he tallied a modest three stops for the second straight week, the standout cornerback was instrumental in holding Ja'Marr Chase to three catches on seven targets for 41 yards. Kansas City is locked into the No. 3 playoff seed in the AFC, so the team may opt to rest Sneed -- especially if his calf is still a concern -- in the regular-season finale Sunday versus the Chargers.

Chiefs' L'Jarius Sneed: Gets in limited practice Monday
Rotowire
Sneed (knee) was a limited participant at practice Monday.

Sneed has been dealing with a knee injury during training camp and had previously been limited. The 26-year-old was also dealing with a knee injury leading up to the Super Bowl, but it's unclear if the two are related. He'll continue to work on his recovery as he ramps up his participation in camp.

Rotowire
Sneed is dealing with knee swelling according to head coach Andy Reid, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.
Sneed was dealing with a knee injury heading into the Super Bowl, but it's unclear if the two are related.

Chiefs' L'Jarius Sneed: Expected to play Week 18
Rotowire
Chiefs coach Andy Reid said Thursday that he expects Sneed (hip) to suit up for Saturday's regular-season finale against the Raiders, Charles Goldman of USA Today reports.
Sneed picked up a hip injury during Sunday's win over Denver. The third-year cornerback was then considered day-to-day to open Week 18 prep and sat out the Chiefs' practice Tuesday. However, he did log back-to-back limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday, so it appears he'll have a good chance to continue playing every defensive snap versus Las Vegas. Otherwise, Joshua Williams and Jaylen Watson could both be in line for increased roles opposite Trent McDuffie on Saturday.

Chiefs' L'Jarius Sneed: Snags INT in win
Rotowire
Sneed registered seven tackles (five solo) and an interception in Sunday's 26-10 win over the Rams.
Sneed was temporarily forced out in the second quarter to undergo evaluation for a potential concussion, though he was ultimately able to return and finish as the Chiefs' second-leading tackler behind middle linebacker Nick Bolton. The third-year cornerback also nabbed his first interception of the season and the sixth of his career, picking off Bryce Perkins for a 26-yard return in the fourth quarter. Through 11 games in 2022, Sneed has now matched his previous career highs for tackles (76) and passes defended (eight) from last season, and he should play a critical role against the Bengals' dangerous passing offense next Sunday.
Sneed is undergoing evaluation for a possible concussion and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Rams.
Sneed took a blow to the head and was tended to on the field before walking under his own power into the medical tent on Kansas City's sideline, according to Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com. The 25-year-old was then seen heading to the locker room, per Nate Taylor of The Athletic, though the severity of his injury is still unclear. With Sneed's return up in the air, expect Joshua Williams and Jaylen Watson to step up alongside starting cornerback Trent McDuffie on Sunday.
