  • Manages Titans to upset win

    Tannehill completed 17 of 26 passes for 168 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 28-20 win over the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Tannehill served as Tennessee's primary quarterback for the third consecutive game and helped the team to an upset win. He got the offense off to a hot start, leading a seven-play, 75-yard touchdown drive on the opening possession, which concluded with a 28-yard touchdown toss to Tyjae Spears. Tannehill began the third quarter with his second score, hitting DeAndre Hopkins from six yards away. It was a solid performance in what will almost certainly be his final game with the Titans, though…read more

  • Week 18 start on tap

    Tannehill will serve as the Titans' starting quarterback for Sunday's season finale against the Jaguars, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Tannehill will pick up his second start in three games, with Will Levis dealing with a foot injury and slated to be the Titans' emergency No. 3 quarterback Sunday, per Wyatt. After starting the Titans' first six games before succumbing to a high-ankle sprain and then losing the job to the rookie once he was healthy, Tannehill has seen extended action in both of the last two contests will Levis sitting out Week 16 entirely and exiting early in Week 17. Tannehill has been efficient (73.9 percent…read more

  • Could start again in Week 18

    Coach Mike Vrabel said Tuesday that Tannehill would start Sunday versus the Jaguars if Will Levis (foot) is unable to suit up, John Glennon of NashvillePost.com reports.

    Analysis: The veteran QB started in Week 16 when the rookie was absent due to a sprained right ankle, and Tannehill subbed in again when Levis exited early from this past Sunday's loss at Houston. Over those two performances, Tannehill completed 34 of 46 passes for 320 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions while taking two carries for 37 yards.

  • Enters in relief of Levis

    Tannehill completed 16 of 20 passes for 168 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 26-3 loss to the Texans.

    Analysis: Will Levis (foot) began the game at quarterback, but he suffered an injury late in the first quarter. As a result, Tannehill entered in relief and turned in a mediocre performance in the blowout loss. Levis has now battled several lower-body injuries in the last several weeks, which could set Tannehill up for a start in a Week 18 matchup against the Jaguars.

  • Mental mistakes cost team late

    Tannehill completed 18 of 26 pass attempts for 152 yards and gained 37 yards on two rushing attempts in Sunday's 20-17 loss to Seattle.

    Analysis: Tannehill made his first start for the Titans since Week 6 in place of the injured Will Levis (ankle) on Sunday. The converted wide receiver put his athleticism on display on two healthy scrambles, but that's where the good news ends from Tannehill's day. The veteran signal-caller held the ball too long in the pocket and was coverage-sacked twice during the Titans' final offensive drive. The pair of mental miscues cost his team its last timeout and eliminated any potential for victory Sunday.…read more

  • Locked in for Week 16 start

    Tannehill will serve as the Titans' starting quarterback for Sunday's game against the Seahawks with Will Levis (ankle) inactive for the contest, Ben Arthur of FoxSports.com reports.

    Analysis: Tannehill will pick up his first start since Week 6 with the Titans deciding to hold out Levis for the matchup with Seattle after the rookie signal-caller sprained his right ankle late in last week's 19-16 overtime loss to the Texans. The 35-year-old Tannehill ceded the starting role to Levis after he completed 62 percent of his passes for 7.1 yards per attempt and a 2:6 TD:INT as the Titans limped out to 2-4 start to the season. Though Tannehill has a strong track record to fall back on…read more

Prior to losing the starting job to Levis, Tannehill completed 98 of 158 pass attempts (62 percent) for 1,128 yards (7.1 YPA), two touchdowns and six interceptions.

  • Would start Week 16 if Levis sits

    Head coach Mike Vrabel said Wednesday that Tannehill will start Sunday against the Seahawks if Will Levis (ankle) is unable to play, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: After sustaining the ankle injury on Tennessee's final offensive play of this past Sunday's overtime loss to the Texans, Levis didn't practice Wednesday, per Wyatt. Since making a recovery from a right high-ankle sprain suffered in mid-October, Tannehill has served as Levis' top backup over the last four games and will get the starting nod over Malik Willis if Levis isn't cleared to play this weekend. Tannehill started Tennessee's first six games of the season and posted an ugly 2:6 TD:INT.

    Tannehill (ankle) didn't practice Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Tannehill worked in a limited fashion Wednesday, making it unclear if his absence from practice a day later is indicative of a setback or simply a case of workload management. In any case, Tannehill's Week 10 status only affects the Titans from a depth perspective, with Will Levis having been named the team's starting quarterback moving forward.

If healthy enough to play this Sunday in Tampa Bay, Tannehill will serve as the Titans' No. 2 quarterback ahead of Malik Willis.

    Head coach Mike Vrabel announced Tuesday that Tannehill will be the Titans' backup quarterback behind Will Levis moving forward, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The veteran appears to be ready to return from his ankle injury, but he's lost his starting job to the rookie. Prior to getting hurt in London in Week 6, Tannehill had completed just 62 percent of his throws for 1,128 yards and a meager two touchdowns versus six interceptions. Levis has given the offense life as a more willing downfield passer, and 2023 is the final year of Tannehill's contract, so there's a real chance he's played his last snap for the Titans.

    Analysis: Tannehill continues to recover from a right high-ankle sprain that kept him sidelined for Sunday's win over the Falcons. Levis, meanwhile, is coming off a four-TD NFL debut, so it would make little sense for the Titans' coaching staff to rush Tannehill back on a short week if he's anything less than 100 percent. In fact, if Levis manages to impress in prime time versus Pittsburgh, it might make little sense for Tennessee to turn back to Tannehill even when he does get healthy, given the…read more

If Tannehill ends up sidelined this weekend, head coach Mike Vrabel has said that both Will Levis and Malik Willis will be in line to see snaps in the contest.

The veteran QB was forced to sit out the last quarter of Tennessee's loss to the Ravens in Week 6 due to a right high-ankle sprain, an injury that could require a multi-week absence.

    Analysis: Tannehill sat out the final quarter of the Titans' Week 6 loss to the Ravens in London after suffering a right high-ankle sprain. Though the sprain is to the same ankle that he had tightrope surgery on in December, the latest version of the injury isn't considered as significant and won't require another procedure. However, Tannehill is sporting a cast on his lower leg and is using crutches so as not to put any weight on his injured ankle, so he still looks like he could still require a…read more

    Analysis: Tannehill suffered a similar injury to the same ankle last December and missed the final three games of the regular season after having tightrope surgery, but he looks set to recover from his newest ankle sprain with rest and rehab.

    Tannehill completed 23 of 34 passes for 264 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Colts.

    Analysis: Tannehill overcame a slow first half to deliver his highest passing yardage total of the season. He showed particular rapport with DeAndre Hopkins, as the duo connected for three completions of at least 20 yards. While Tannehill has averaged a solid 7.4 yards per attempt on 142 passes this season, he has only three total touchdowns across five games, as the focus of the Titans' offense remains on the rushing attack.

    Analysis: Derrick Henry was the key to the offense in Sunday's win, but Tannehill delivered on some key plays, including a 13-yard touchdown pass to Nick Westbrook-Ikhine as well as four completions of more than 20 yards -- the latter of which was a season high. While it was a relatively positive performance, Tannehill still has only three total touchdowns across four games while turning the ball over four times.

    Analysis: After turning the ball over three times in a Week 1 loss, Tannehill responded by taking care of the ball in Sunday's win. He was also very efficient with his opportunity by averaging just over 10 yards per pass attempt, highlighted by a pair of deep balls to Treylon Burks and Chris Moore that went for 70 and 49 yards, respectively.

    Analysis: Tannehill got off to a slow start, connecting on only five of his first 14 attempts through the first half. Things didn't improve from there, as his two picks in the final two quarters led directly to 10 points for the Saints in the second half. Tannehill will likely remain the starter so long as the Titans have hopes of competing in 2023, though this wasn't a positive start to his campaign.

    Tannehill will open offseason practices as the starting quarterback while second-round pick Will Levis is third on the depth chart, but Titans head coach Mike Vrabel said that "whatever happens after that will be up to the players," Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: While Vrabel's comments are essentially just coach-speak, other coaches have been known to make stronger commitments to the veteran option -- at least verbally, if not in practice. Widely expected to be a first-round pick, Levis dropped to the second round and went 33rd overall after the Titans traded up to get him. That's early enough to threaten Tannehill's job security, but it's also worth noting that the Titans passed on Levis at 11th overall (instead drafting offensive lineman Peter…read more

  • Still viewed as starter

    Coach Mike Vrabel confirmed Tuesday that he expects Tannehill (ankle) to remain the Titans' starting QB in 2023, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Vrabel did acknowledge that the team's roster for the coming season remains under construction, but for now Tannehill, who is moving past an ankle injury that landed him on IR last December, sits atop the Titans' QB depth chart, with 2022 third-rounder Malik Willis currently the only other signal-caller that the team has under contract. Meanwhile, Tennessee seems destined to add pass-catching depth following the offseason departures of wideout Robert Woods and tight end Austin Hooper.

  • Lands on IR

    The Titans have placed Tannehill (ankle) on IR, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Tannehill thus is officially ruled out for the remainder of the regular season and won't be available to the Titans unless the team makes a deep playoff run. In his absence, Malik Willis and Joshua Dobbs -- who is expected to start Thursday night's game against the Cowboys -- will handle the team's QB duties in the coming weeks.

  • Done for regular season

    Tannehill won't be available for the Titans' final three regular-season games and is considered "unlikely" to return for the postseason after undergoing a tightrope procedure earlier this week to address a right high-ankle sprain, a league source tells Adam Schefter of ESPN.

    Analysis: Late Friday, Schefter relayed that Tannehill was in line to miss at least the next two games and was viewed as a "long shot" to make it back for the Titans' Week 18 game against the Jaguars, essentially matching what Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported. However, Schefter's latest update indicates that the Titans are already discounting the possibility of Tannehill making it back before the end of the regular season, and the quarterback's chances of suiting up in the postseason appear to be…read more

  • Gets surgery, hopeful for Week 18

    Tannehill, who is out for Saturday's game against the Texans, reportedly traveled to Birmingham, Ala. earlier this week and had a tightrope surgical procedure on his right ankle, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. He won't be available for the Titans' Week 17 game against the Cowboys but is hopeful to play Week 18 against the Jaguars.

    Analysis: While Tannehill plans to attack his rehab aggressively, Adam Schefter of ESPN relays that the quarterback is a "long shot" to return during the final two weeks of the regular season, though he may have a better chance at making it back for the playoffs, should Tennessee clinch a spot. Rapoport notes that rehab timelines for tightrope surgeries of these sort can vary, with a three-week recovery period having historically represented a best-case scenario.

    The Titans have ruled Tannehill (ankle) out for Saturday's game against the Texans, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Though the right ankle injury Tannehill sustained in the Titans' Week 15 loss to the Chargers cost him only one offensive series before he was able to return, the veteran signal-caller wasn't able to practice in any fashion Tuesday through Thursday before Tennessee opted to rule him out for the third time this season. Malik Willis will step in as the Titans' starting signal-caller this weekend, and quite possibly the rest of the way, as Davenport reported Wednesday that Tannehill is likely to…read more

    Analysis: The Titans haven't yet determined if the veteran quarterback will require surgery to address the ankle injury he sustained in the Titans' Week 15 loss to the Chargers. If surgery is ultimately required, Tannehill would likely be officially shut down for the season, paving the way for rookie Malik Willis to start the final three games of the campaign and any postseason contests that follow.

At this stage of the week, however, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network suggests that there's doubt the veteran quarterback will be able to play this weekend.

    Coach Mike Vrabel said Monday that Tannehill (ankle) will remain the starter Saturday against the Texans if he's healthy enough to play, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Tannehill left the Week 15 loss to the Chargers with an ankle injury but later returned. Vrabel's comment suggests there's some doubt over whether Tannehill -- who has battled numerous ankle injuries this season -- can play through the latest issue without missing some game action, so the quarterback's status will be worth monitoring in practice over the coming days.

    Tannehill completed 15 of 22 passes for 165 yards with an interception and added a touchdown and one rushing yard on three carries in Sunday's 17-14 loss to the Chargers.

    Analysis: His weak passing numbers were due in part to leaving the game in the first quarter with an ankle injury, but Tannehill returned before halftime and appeared to have forced overtime by scoring on a goal-line QB sneak with 48 seconds left in the fourth. Unfortunately for the Titans, their defense couldn't stop Justin Herbert from answering.

His restrictions a day ago were likely just maintenance-related, and his ability to take every rep Thursday clears the way for him to direct the Tennessee offense this weekend.

    Analysis: Since missing games in Weeks 8 and 9 with the ankle injury, Tannehill has proceeded to start in each of the Titans' last five games. The Titans haven't provided any indication that he experienced a setback with the ankle during this past Sunday's loss to the Jaguars, so he'll most likely be cleared ahead of this weekend's game against the Chargers.

    Analysis: Tannehill attempted a season-high 38 passes as the Titans were playing at a two-score deficit for much of the second half. He averaged only 6.7 yards per attempt and also had two costly turnovers -- he lost a fumble and threw an interception -- which led directly to 10 points for the Jaguars. Tannehill redeemed his fantasy performance with a pair of touchdown throws, which came from 10 and two yards away.

    Analysis: Tannehill missed two games with an ankle injury earlier this season, and he apparently rolled his other ankle during Sunday's blowout loss in Philadelphia, according to Wyatt. He doesn't sound worried about missing the upcoming matchup with Jacksonville on Sunday, but his mobility may be limited, and top target Treylon Burks (concussion) may not play.

  • Sacked six times in rout

    Tannehill completed 14 of 22 passes for 141 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Sunday's 35-10 loss to the Eagles.

    Analysis: Tannehill didn't perform badly from an efficiency perspective, but the Titans couldn't sustain many extended offensive drives. He had little protection from the offensive line, and he was sacked a season-high six times. As a result, Tannehill was held under 150 passing yards for the fourth time on the campaign. As that number indicates, Tannehill's results have been inconsistent this season, though he'll draw a more favorable matchup in Week 14 against the Jaguars.

    Analysis: After throwing for a season-high 333 yards in the Week 11 win over Green Bay, Tannehill mustered his second-highest passing yardage total of the season. The veteran quarterback's recent production has been encouraging, but Tennessee's dearth of weapons in the passing game caps Tannehill's upside heading into a daunting Week 13 road matchup with the 10-1 Eagles.

    Tannehill completed 22 of 27 passes for 333 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in the Titans' 27-17 win over the Packers on Thursday night. He also netted minus-3 yards on three rushes.

    Analysis: Tannehill was exceedingly sharp and vaulted over the 300-yard mark on his final completion of the night, a surprise 51-yarder to Treylon Burks down the left sideline against Jaire Alexander just before the two-minute warning. It put a fitting cap on a performance in which Tannehill averaged 12.3 yards per attempt while hitting eight different pass catchers overall.

Overall, he racked up 255 passing yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions and also totaled two carries for 12 yards. Tannehill's right ankle sprain continues to bother him afterward, though, so his status will be one to monitor ahead of Thursday's game at Green Bay.

He connected with Nick Westbrook-Ikhine for both of his scores, which came from 63 and nine yards, and he also completed an additional two attempts for over 20 yards.

His mobility likely will be limited if he ends up playing, though he's barely run this year anyway, carrying 19 times for 29 yards and one touchdown.

    Analysis: The signal-caller sat out the Titans' first session of Week 8 on Wednesday while tending to a right ankle sprain, affording rookie Malik Willis all the reps with the first-team offense. Willis will continue to stay ready in case he's needed to start Sunday in Houston, but Tannehill's ability to get back on the field Thursday in a limited capacity bodes well for his chances of playing this weekend. Tannehill may need to upgrade to full participation at Friday's practice to avoid carrying a…read more

  • Listed as non-participant

    Tannehill (ankle) is listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Head coach Mike Vrabel said he expected Tannehill to be a limited participant in the Titans' first Week 8 practice session, but the quarterback apparently didn't do enough to be designated as such. Tannehill missed only one play in Sunday's 19-10 win over the Colts and said Wednesday that his right ankle sprain is improving, perhaps allowing him to avoid missed time. At the very least, his mobility will be limited this Sunday against the Texans, lessening the already limited fantasy appeal in a…read more

  • Dealing with ankle sprain

    Head coach Mike Vrabel said that Tannehill (ankle) will probably be limited at practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Per Wyatt, Tannehill -- who wasn't wearing a walking boot when he spoke to the media Wednesday -- noted that he has a right ankle sprain and is improving as Sunday's game against the Texans approaches. While the veteran signal-caller appears to be trending in the right direction, if Tannehill ends up sitting out this weekend, Malik Willis would be next up for reps.

  • Injures ankle in Sunday's win

    Tannehill, who suffered a right ankle injury during Sunday's 19-10 win over the Colts, hopes to be able to play next weekend against the Texans, Mike Organ of the Nashville Tennessean reports. "It doesn't feel great, but that kind of comes with the territory," Tannehill said after Sunday's contest. "I'm going to do everything I can this week to get back out there."

    Analysis: Tannehill, who was sporting a walking boot on his ankle when he met with the media, left Sunday's game for one play during the fourth quarter, with Malik Willis briefly stepping in. The veteran QB ended up completing 13 of 20 pass attempts for 132 yards and logged four carries for six yards in a Tennessee win that included four Randy Bullock field goals and an Andrew Adamsinterception that resulted in a 76-yard TD. If Tannehill is forced to miss any practice time this coming week, look for…read more

  • Quiet performance in victory

    Tannehill completed 15 of 25 passes for 181 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Sunday's 21-17 win over the Commanders.

    Analysis: Tannehill has been asked to do very little for the Titans this season, with the offense instead running through Derrick Henry. He has now attempted fewer than 30 passes in each of Tennessee's last four games, three of which have been wins. While Tannehill does what is asked of him effectively, it doesn't translate to impressive stat lines, as he has failed to top 200 passing yards or throw for multiple touchdowns in three of his five games on the campaign.

  • Efficient performance in victory

    Tannehill completed 17 of 21 passes for 137 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Colts.

    Analysis: Tannehill attempted only six passes in the second half as the Titans were content to run out the clock on the Colts. However, he worked efficiently in the first two quarters, completing 12 of 15 passes with both of his touchdowns. Tannehill has reached 30 pass attempts in only one game this season, so it's hard to rely on him to post consistent fantasy production.

    Analysis: Tannehill bounced back after a dreadful Week 2 performance at Buffalo and managed the Titans to their first win of the season. He spread targets fairly evenly among his pass catchers but showed particular rapport with Robert Woods by connecting on gains of 41, 21 and 16 yards. Tannehill also delivered a pair of short scores, first on a two-yard toss to Geoff Swaim and then by sneaking in on a one-yard rush on his own.

    Tannehill completed 11 of 20 passes for 117 yards and two interceptions in Monday's 41-7 loss to the Bills. He added two yards on one rushing attempt.

    Analysis: Tannehill marched the Titans down the field for a Derrick Henry rushing touchdown on the opening drive, but Tennessee's offense couldn't get anything going the rest of the way. The 34-year-old quarterback was intercepted twice in the third quarter, and the latter pick was returned for a touchdown, which put the Bills up 41-7 and ended Tannehill's night as the Titans decided to insert rookie Malik Willis into the game.

  • Tosses two TDs in Week 1 loss

    Tannehill completed 20 of 33 passes for 266 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 21-20 loss to the Giants.

    Analysis: Both TDs went to Dontrell Hilliard, as Tannehill connected with his receiving back on a seven-yard score in the first quarter and a 23-yard strike in the fourth. However, that was just about all the offense Tennessee could muster. Tannehill didn't show much chemistry with any of his other options aside from unheralded fifth-round pick Kyle Philips, and that lack of firepower could be a big problem in Week 2 as the Titans face the Bills on Monday.

    Malik Willis will fill in for Tannehill as Tennessee's starting QB for Saturday's preseason game against Tampa Bay, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Tannehill will be held out for a second straight week and may not play at all this preseason. He'll be working with a revamped receiving corps whenever he does see the field, as the Titans swapped out WR A.J. Brown and TE Anthony Firkser for WRs Robert Woods (knee) and Treylon Burks and TE Austin Hooper.

    Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site suggests that Tannehill and other key veteran starters on offense are unlikely to play in Thursday's preseason opener against the Ravens.

    Analysis: With that in mind, Wyatt expects rookie Malik Willis and fellow backup QB Logan Woodside to each play roughly a half. For now, Tannehill remains entrenched as the Titans' top QB, with the report noting that Woodside is looking to hold onto the No. 2 spot, though that's an assignment Willis could push for with a strong preseason effort.

  • Firm grasp on starting job

    Tannehill will remain the Titans' starting quarterback even after the team drafted Malik Willis in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft, Turron Davenport of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Tannehill helped lead the Titans to the top seed in the AFC in 2021, yet there was some concern about his level of play throughout the season. That stemmed primarily from turnovers, as he threw 14 interceptions and lost four fumbles across 17 games. He also threw three interceptions in the team's playoff defeat to Cincinnati, ending his campaign on a particularly sour note. However, Tannehill isn't likely to be immediately pushed for his starting job by Willis, who is regarded as an extremely…read more

    Tannehill completed 15 of 24 passes for 220 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions in Saturday's 19-16 divisional-round loss to the Bengals.

    Analysis: Tannehill began the game in inauspicious fashion, throwing an interception on his first attempt. While things improved from there, he ended the game with another pick that set up the game-winning field goal for Cincinnati. Positively, Tannehill connected on several big plays with A.J.

He threw for more than two touchdowns for the first time since Week 8, connecting with four different receivers for scores from three, four, five and 14 yards away.

    Analysis: The Titans were leading comfortably for much of the game, which limited Tannehill to a season-low 18 pass attempts. However, he was still able to throw for multiple touchdowns for the first time since Week 8, connecting with Geoff Swaim and Anthony Firkser from one and 15 yards away, respectively. Tannehill is likely to end up in a similar game script in Week 18 against Houston, so he may take to the air a limited number of times once again.

However, he led a second half offensive surge for the Titans and accounted for 169 passing yards and all of his yards on the ground in the final two quarters.

    Analysis: Tannehill continued his dreadful performance through the air, turning in his third consecutive game without reaching 200 passing yards. That has coincided with A.J. Brown (chest) being sidelined, and Julio Jones being a non-factor while also re-injuring his hamstring.

    Analysis: Tannehill didn't have to do much to lead the Titans to victory, as the team attempted 34 rushes as opposed to his 31 passing attempts. He averaged only 6.2 yards per attempt and failed to top 200 passing yards for the third time in his last five games. Tannehill did manage to salvage his performance with a five-yard rushing score in the third quarter.

    Analysis: With all of A.J. Brown (chest), Julio Jones (hamstring) and Marcus Johnson (hamstring) on injured reserve, Tannehill was forced to rely on a makeshift wideout corps that wasn't able to do its part to help him keep the ball moving downfield against a stingy Patriots defense.

In addition to four interceptions, he also fumbled twice, though both were recovered by the Titans. A combination of the weather and turnovers limited Tannehill to only 6.2 yards per attempt, and he logged only four passes that went for gains of at least 15 yards.

    Analysis: Tannehill didn't lead the Titans' to their most effective offensive performance, though he did manage to turn in his first effort without a turnover since Week 5. His lone passing score of the game came early in the third quarter on a two-yard pass to MyCole Pruitt. Tannehill also chipped in a one-yard rushing touchdown, the fourth time in his last five games that he's found the end zone with his legs. Tannehill should be in for an easier matchup as Tennessee takes on Houston in Week 11.

    Analysis: Coach Mike Vrabel relayed the news Friday but wasn't worried about the Titans' starting signal-caller being unavailable this weekend. The bigger question surrounding the team's passing game is the health of Julio Jones, who appeared on the injury report again Thursday as a limited participant due to a hamstring injury. If Tannehill is without Jones on Sunday, the receiving corps will be composed of A.J. Brown, Chester Rogers, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Marcus Johnson.

    Analysis: Tannehill led his team to victory in the Titans' first game without star back Derrick Henry (foot). The 33-year-old has provided somewhat of a "game manager" fantasy output this season, but he figures to shoulder a bigger load on offense with Henry likely done for the season.

    Analysis: Tannehill was asked to take over the game and lead a second-half comeback after Derrick Henry struggled (28 carries for 68 yards) throughout the contest. It was the veteran quarterback's second game with either multiple touchdowns or multiple interceptions this season, the other coming against these very Colts back in Week 3.

He also capped off a 24-point first-half offensive outburst for the Titans by rushing in a two-yard score late in the second quarter.

The signal-caller then found top wideout A.J. Brown frequently after halftime, aiding Tennessee's comeback victory.

    Analysis: Tannehill managed to draw heavy pressure despite the light workload, absorbing three sacks and eight hits from the Jacksonville pass rush, but he was at least efficient with his pass attempts. The Titans were in control for the vast majority of the 37-19 victory, and Tannehill did his part to keep them moving by completing 63.6 percent of his passes at 9.0 yards per attempt.

On top of the poor protection, Tannehill was also without both Julio Jones (hamstring) and A.J. Brown (hamstring).

    Tannehill completed 18 of 27 passes for 216 yards and a touchdown and gained 38 rushing yards and two TDs on seven carries in Sunday's 41-38 win over the Texans.

    Analysis: The Titans took full advantage of a matchup against one of the league's softest run defenses, with Tannehill equaling Derrick Henry in trips to the end zone. The quarterback wraps up the regular season with a career-high seven rushing TDs -- five of them coming in the last three games -- in addition to his career-best 33 passing TDs. Tannehill will now prepare for a duel with Lamar Jackson and the Ravens next Sunday in the wild-card round.

  • Freezes up at Lambeau Field

    Tannehill completed 11 of 24 pass attempts for 121 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions Sunday. He rushed three times for 55 yards and another touchdown but also lost a fumble in a 40-14 loss to Green Bay.

    Analysis: Tannehill and the entire Tennessee passing attack were under duress all evening after falling behind by two scores right out of the gate. The Titans' usually solid offensive line struggled mightily when asked to protect against the Packers' athletic edge rushers. A predictable gameplan combined with snowy conditions at Lambeau Field led to an inefficient and poor showing from every Titan aside from Derrick Henry. Luckily for his fantasy managers, Tannehill was able to rip off a big touchdown…read more

  • Finds end zone five times

    Tannehill completed 21 of his 27 pass attempts for 273 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 15 against the Lions. He added three rushes for 21 yards and two more scores.

    Analysis: Tannehill had the Titans' offense moving with ease for the entire game, and he did his best Derrick Henry impression with two goal-line touchdown rushes. He also did plenty of damage with his arm, throwing for three touchdowns for the second time in his last three games. Tannehill's longest completion of the day came midway through the first quarter when he connected with Corey Davis for a 75-yard touchdown deep down the left sideline. He and the Titans will draw a stiffer test in Week 16…read more

  • Has efficient performance

    Tannehill completed 19 of 24 pass attempts for 212 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 14 against the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Derrick Henry dominated the Jaguars on the ground, limiting Tannehill's need to take to the air. However, Tannehill made the most of his opportunities by connecting with A.J. Brown for a number of big plays. Most notable was a 37-yard touchdown toss to cap the team's first offensive possession. Tannehill connected with Geoff Swaim for five yards out to tally his second trip to the end zone. The Titans should have to take to air more in Week 15 against the Lions, giving Tannehill more chance to…read more

  • Records season-best yardage

    Tannehill completed 29 of 45 pass attempts for 389 yards, three touchdowns and one interception in Week 13 against the Browns.

    Analysis: The Titans were down 38-7 at halftime, leading to 31 second-half pass attempts for Tannehill. He took advantage of the rare volume by topping 375 yards for the second time since taking over as the team's quarterback in 2019. Two of Tannehill's touchdowns ended up on the ledger of MyCole Pruitt, the first of which was a 22-yard toss down the seam and the second an end-zone recovery of an A.J. Brown fumble. While Tannehill has largely been efficient this season, he isn't likely to throw 45 passes…read more

  • Makes most off 22 attempts

    Tannehill completed 13 of 22 pass attempts for 221 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Week 12 against the Colts. He added three yards and an additional touchdown on the ground.

    Analysis: Tannehill threw just seven passes in the second half as Tennessee held a three-score lead for the entirety of the final two quarters. However, he still managed to produce thanks to a long 69-yard touchdown pass to A.J. Brown in the first quarter, the majority of which came after the catch. Tannehill also found the end zone with his legs on a one-yard scamper just before halftime. Tannehill will likely be forced to do more to earn a win in Week 13 against the Browns.

    Tannehill completed 15 of 27 passes for 147 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions in the Titans' 34-17 loss to the Colts on Thursday night. He also rushed twice for nine yards.

    Analysis: Four days after taking nine hits overall from the Bears, including three sacks, Tannehill was knocked around six more times and taken down once in a game in which the Colts top-ranked defense seemed to pick up substantial steam in the second half. Tannehill compiled most of his numbers in the first half, when he capped the opening drive of the contest off with a five-yard touchdown to D'Onta Foreman.

    Analysis: The Titans jumped out to a 17-0 lead by the end of the first half, limiting Tannehill to just eight pass attempts across the third and fourth quarters combined. He also lacked his usual efficiency, completing under 50 percent of his pass attempts for the first time this season. Even so, Tannehill played turnover-free football for the fourth time on the campaign, managing the Titans' to a win. He will draw a tough matchup against the Colts in Week 10.

    Tannehill completed 18 of 30 pass attempts for 233 yards, two touchdowns and one interception while adding 20 yards on two carries during Sunday's 31-20 loss to the Bengals.

    Analysis: Tannehill completed a pedestrian 60 percent of his passes for the second straight week, as he struggled through the early going. Although his team trailed throughout and ultimately suffered its second straight loss, he salvaged his day from a fantasy perspective with touchdown passes to A.J. Brown and Corey Davis in the fourth quarter.

  • Nearly completes comeback win

    Tannehill completed 18 of 30 pass attempts for 220 yards and two touchdowns in Week 7 against the Steelers.

    Analysis: Tannehill attempted only 11 passes for a total of 50 yards and a touchdown in the first half. However, with the Titans down 24-7, he was forced to turn to the air regularly in the comeback effort. Though the team fell short due to a missed field goal by Stephen Gostkowski, Tannehill racked up an additional touchdown and 170 yards in the final two quarters. A large portion of that production came on a 73-yard completion to A.J. Brown that reached the end zone midway through the third quarter.…read more

    Tannehill completed 30 of 41 passes for 364 yards, four touchdowns and an interception in Sunday's 42-36 overtime win over the Texans. He also threw a successful two-point conversion and lost a fumble.

    Analysis: Tannehill tossed a trio of first-half touchdowns, finding Anthony Firkser from seven yards out, A.J. Brown from six and Adam Humphries from 22. The offense ran primarily through Derrick Henry after that point, but Tannehill came up clutch when he needed to. The quarterback put his team up by six in the fourth quarter with a two-point conversion following a 94-yard Henry touchdown run, then found Brown for a seven-yard touchdown to force overtime with four seconds left in regulation.

  • Four total TDs in blowout of Bills

    Tannehill completed 21 of 28 attempts with 195 passing yards and three passing touchdowns, adding four carries for 42 yards and a rushing score during Tuesday's 42-16 win against Buffalo.

    Analysis: Tannehill's final score of the night went under review, after it appeared he may have drifted over the line of scrimmage before connecting with Jonnu Smith for a seven-yard TD. There was inconclusive evidence to overturn the call, however, enhancing an already prolific outing for the 32-year-old signal-caller. Tannehill has posted 13 multi-TD efforts in 14 starts since Week 7 of last season, as the Titans head into a Week 6 matchup against Houston's 21st-ranked scoring defense.

    Analysis: Tannehill was at risk of having to play without all three of the Titans' starting receivers, but fortunately for the quarterback, A.J.

With Sunday's outing, Tannehill now has multiple passing scores in nine consecutive regular-season outings, with three or more passing TDs in three of those appearances.
