Taylor Lewan Practices In Full

Tennessee Titans left tackle Taylor Lewan (concussion) got in a full practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday.

Taylor Lewan Not Out Of Concussion Protocol

Tennessee Titans left tackle Taylor Lewan (concussion) said he's still in the league's concussion protocol, but it looks like he'll get in a limited practice for the second straight day on Thursday.

Derrick Henry, Taylor Lewan Limited Wednesday

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry (back), offensive tackles Taylor Lewan (concussion) and Jack Conklin (knee) and tight end Luke Stocker (calf) were limited in practice on Wednesday.

The Cut List - Players on the Chopping Block (Week 3)

This is your weekly list of players to drop. I will do my best to limit this list to injured players and players you might consider holding. If you roster pure handcuffs or backups, obviously you can let them go at any time. The players on this list will, ideally, be guys that aren't clearly […]

Taylor Lewan Must Still Pass Concussion Protocol

Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel said that left tackle Taylor Lewan (concussion) is making progress, but he must still pass the concussion protocol in order to practice this week.

Corey Davis Catches Five Passes In Win

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Corey Davis had a rather quiet day statistically, turning his seven targets into five receptions for 55 yards.

Dion Lewis Less Effective In Week 2

Tennessee Titans running back Dion Lewis was not nearly as effective against the Houston Texans as he was in Week 1, totaling 15 touches for just 43 yards.

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry was more involved in the Week 2 win against the Houston Texans than he was a week ago, toting the ball 18 times for 56 yards.
