Chig Okonkwo Exits Early With Abdomen Injury Against The Texans
Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo (abdomen) exited Sunday's 23-14 loss to the Houston Texans in the first quarter after aggravating an abdomen injury and did not return. After missing Friday's practice and being listed as questionable for the matchup, Okonkwo was declared available but was unable to finish the game. He did not record any stats. Fellow TE Josh Whyle picked up most of the work for the missing Okonkwo, catching five receptions for 29 yards and a two-point conversion. His seven targets were also tied for the most on his team. Nick Vannett, listed just below Okonkwo on the depth chart, caught two balls on two targets for 26 yards. The Titans like to utilize the tight end position, which bodes well for Okonkwo when he returns next season. Of course, many factors in the offseason for this 3-14 team could change how things look in 2025, but for now, Okonkwo appears to be an up-and-comer at the tight end position. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on him as a sleeper in their next draft.
