Ryan Tannehill was downgraded to a non-participant in practice after practicing in a limited capacity to start the week. It could be another week of Malik Willis for Tennessee if Tannehill is not ready.
Derrick Henry got the day off of practice on Thursday and two new players (Teair Tart and Nate Davis) were added to the injury report as limited.
Two players (Sam Okuayinonu and Aaron Brewer) were upgraded to full participants after missing practice on Wednesday.
Two consecutive missed practices for Jeffery Simmons and Amani Hooker put their status in doubt for Week 9. We’ll find out more tomorrow when game status designations are revealed.
