Coach Mike Vrabel said Friday that A.J. Brown would play Sunday, but Julio Jones remains out.

Both wideouts missed the Titans' Week 4 overtime loss to the New York Jets due to hamstring injuries.

Jones hasn't practiced or played since Week 3, when he participated in just 50 percent of the snaps due to the hamstring injury. The 32-year-old sat out seven games in 2020 and is already set to miss his second straight contest this season after missing the bulk of practice time this offseason.

Marcas Grant's 2021 NFL Fantasy Football Sleepers Week 2

Image
 Many things about fantasy football are unpredictable. It's the uncertainty that brings us back to the fake game year after year. If we knew for sure what was going to happen, this wouldn't be as fun. More importantly, I'd be out of a job. So … hooray for chaos!  But not everything about fantasy is so murky. The biggest known heading into Week 1 is that we really didn't know much. We spent plenty of time speculating. The entire offseason was one big fever dream of what we think could happen this year. Alas, what we wish for and what we get are frequently not the same.   In that spirit, we lick our Trey Sermon and Michael Pittman-sized wounds, take stock of what we learned, and try to get better in Week 2. Let's go.  Broncos nation wasn't particularly thrilled with Teddy Bridgewater  being named the starter, but he acquitted himself well in the season opener. This week, the matchup is even more in his favor against a Jaguars defense that made Tyrod Taylor

New Ravens LB Justin Houston: 'I was so close' to signing with Steelers

Image
 With every free-agent signing comes news of the teams that missed out on said talent. New Ravens edge rusher Justin Houston revealed Saturday that he turned down a few better offers to sign with the perennial AFC contender. One of those overlooked clubs just so happens to be Baltimore's biggest rival. "I was so close to signing with the Steelers," he told reporters. "That was crazy. They [were] one of the teams I was considering." Considering his status as one of the NFL's more respected pass rushers, Houston heading to B-More instead of the Steel City could be a move that notably impacts both squads down the road. Not to mention, any player's decision to spurn the Steelers for the Ravens, or vice versa, adds another smoldering albeit unneccesary coal to the blazing fire that is arguably the greatest rivalry in NFL history. It's unlikely Houston factored this long-standing beef into his choice but the veteran is now a part of the latest chapter in t
