Titans' L'Jarius Sneed: Unlikely to return this season
Rotowire
Sneed (quadriceps) is not expected to play again this season, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Sneed was traded from the Chiefs to the Titans on March 22, but his first year in Tennessee didn't go as planned, as he appeared in just five games before being placed on injured reserve due to a quadriceps issue. The Louisiana Tech product recorded 23 total tackles across those five appearances. Look for Sneed to return to form in 2025 as one of the NFL's 10 highest-paid cornerbacks.

Titans' L'Jarius Sneed: Headed to injured reserve
Rotowire
Tennessee plans to place Sneed (quadriceps) on injured reserve Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Sneed has already missed the Titans' past five games, which makes it curious for Tennessee to have waited so long to make the decision to send him to injured reserve. This anticipated move will knock Sneed out for at least an additional four contests. His first season with the Titans has been one marred by injury. Sneed will be eligible to play again in Week 16 against the Colts.

Rotowire
Coach Brian Callahan said Monday that Sneed (quadriceps) is unlikely to play in Week 12 at Houston, John Glennon of NashvillePost.com reports.
Callahan's tone Monday was not entirely pessimistic, as he also said Sneed was getting closer to returning to action from the quad issue he picked up in Week 6 versus the Colts. If he does end up sitting out his sixth consecutive game in Week 12, Sneed's next chance to suit up would come in Week 13 on Sunday, Dec. 1 at Washington.

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.

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.
