Kyle Philips: Waived with injury designation
Rotowire
The Titans have waived Philips (hamstring) with an injury designation, Nick Gray of the Nashville Tennessean reports.
Injuries continue to be an issue for the 2022 fifth-rounder, who was limited to 13 contests over his first two pro campaigns. This time around, the UCLA product is dealing with a hamstring issue that caused him to miss Tennessee's final two preseason games. Following Tuesday's transactions, the team's WR corps is comprised of Calvin Ridley, DeAndre Hopkins, Tyler Boyd, Treylon Burks, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Jha'Quan Jackson.

Titans' Kyle Philips: Probably out at New Orleans
Rotowire
Philips (hamstring) is unlikely to play in the Titans' preseason finale at the Saints, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Phillips has been sitting out of practices with a lingering hamstring injury, and now it looks like it could keep him out until at least the regular season. It's no sure thing that he'll make Tennessee's final 53-man roster, though, and players like Sam Schnee may get more opportunities to make an impression if Philips is out.

Titans' Kyle Philips: Has hamstring injury
Rotowire
Philips missed practice Thursday with a hamstring injury, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Philips has a history of hamstring issues after spending a good chunk of his 2022 rookie season on injured reserve with the same injury. He also missed time at the end of last season with a hamstring strain. Philips has also dealt with knee and shoulder injuries as a pro, missing a total of 23 regular-season games across two campaigns. Philips' spotty medical history and the fact he's missing time once again makes him an uncertain proposition for a roster spot.

Titans' Kyle Philips: Not assured roster spot
Rotowire
Philips is expected to enter training camp fighting for a roster spot, John Glennon of the Nashville Post reports.
Philips, a 2022 fifth-round pick, secured 15 of 22 targets for 181 yards across nine appearances last season, and he never managed to play more than 50 percent of offensive snaps. With Calvin Ridley and Tyler Boyd joining DeAndre Hopkins atop the depth chart, and 2022 first-round pick Treylon Burks still vying for opportunities, Phillips finds himself competing for limited reserve roles, and rookie sixth-round pick Jha'Quan Jackson also projects as a slot option and return man.

Titans' Kyle Philips: Ruled out for Week 15
Rotowire
Philips (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
It's been somewhat of a lost season for the second-year wideout.

On the year, Philips has 13 catches for 166 scoreless yards. DeAndre Hopkins, Treylon Burks, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Chris Moore will continue to soak up the receiver snaps for the Titans.

Rotowire

Titans' Kyle Philips: Surprise healthy scratch
Rotowire
Philips (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts.
Philips has been active for every game since Week 4, and he's been one of Tennessee's more productive receivers for brief stretches this season. However, he's seen his snap rate dip in each of Tennessee's last two contests, and he's now inactive with the return of Treylon Burks (concussion).

Titans' Kyle Philips: Paces pass catchers in loss
Rotowire
Philips secured four of five targets for 68 yards in the Titans' 20-16 loss to the Steelers on Thursday night.
Philips tied for team lead in receptions with DeAndre Hopkins while setting the pace with a yardage total that also served as a career high. The second-year UCLA product and rookie signal-caller Will Levis showed excellent chemistry throughout the night, following a Week 8 matchup against the Falcons when Philips posted a then-season-best 3-24 line on three targets. If Levis continues as the Titans quarterback in a Week 10 road matchup against the Buccaneers, Philips could continue seeing his role in the offense expand, especially if Treylon Burks (head) is sidelined for that contest.

Titans' Kyle Philips: Limited role in season debut
Rotowire
Philips (shoulder) did not record a catch (on one target) in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Colts.
Philips was activated from injured reserve this week to make his season debut. As could be expected, he was limited in his role, playing only 14 offensive snaps and one on special teams. Philips showed some rapport with Ryan Tannehill early in his rookie campaign in 2022, so it will be worth watching his role as he gets back into game shape.

Titans' Kyle Philips: Activated from IR
Rotowire
Tennessee activated Philips (knee) from injured reserve on Saturday, Ben Arthur of FoxSports.com reports.
Philips began the regular season on IR after suffering an MCL injury in a preseason contest versus the Vikings. He appears to be fully recovered from the issue, as he was able to practice in full each day this week. Philips caught eight of 13 targets for 78 yards over four games in an injury-plagued rookie campaign last year, and he'll now look to work his way up a receiver depth chart that's headed by DeAndre Hopkins. Philips could play more than a minor role in his season debut Sunday with Treylon Burks ruled out with a knee injury.

Titans' Kyle Philips: Expected to practice next week
Rotowire
Titans head coach Mike Vrabel said Friday that he expects Philips (knee) to begin practicing next week, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Philips opened the season on injured reserve with an MCL injury but will be eligible to make his season debut in Week 5 against the Colts. The slot receiver isn't on fantasy radars outside of the deepest of formats, but once healthy, Philips could unseat Nick Westbrook-Ikhine for the No. 3 wideout role behind DeAndre Hopkins and Treylon Burks (knee).

Titans' Kyle Philips: Officially on IR
Rotowire
Philips (knee) was placed on injured reserve by the Titans on Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
As a result, Philips, who is bouncing back from an MCL injury, will miss at least the first four games of the coming season. Once the 2022 fifth-rounder is back in action, he should have an opportunity to claim a key role of of the slot with the Titans. In Philips' looming absence, Chris Moore and/or Nick Westbrook-Ikhine are candidates to see added reps alongside top WRs DeAndre Hopkins and Treylon Burks.
