*Derrick Henry – Noteworthy
RB Derrick Henry, who had success in the wildcat formation when QB Marcus Mariota was out for the first meeting vs. the Texans, has been doing more with less of late. He has lost playing time to Dion Lewis, who has become more of the every-down back. But Henry now has 404 yards on 110 carries, to 424 on 122 rushes for Lewis. Henry leads the club in rushing touchdowns with four.
Corey Davis – Noteworthy
WR Corey Davis has an outside shot at 1,000-yards receiving if he can have a couple of big games down the stretch. Davis has 45 catches for 606 yards through 10 games.
David Fluellen – Noteworthy – Injury
RB David Fluellen missed Wednesday’s practice with the knee injury he sustained against New England. Fluellen is likely to miss multiple weeks of practice and games with the injury.
Marcus Mariota – Important – Injury
QB Marcus Mariota was limited to individual work on Wednesday as he recovers from a stinger in his throwing arm that caused him to leave Sunday’s loss to the Colts late in the first half.
Marcus Mariota – Important – Injury
QB Marcus Mariota of the Tennessee Titans, who left last Sunday’s game against the Indianapolis Colts because of what originally was called an elbow injury, was limited in practice on Wednesday.
Head coach Mike Vrabel said this week that Mariota actually sustained a stinger when he was sacked late in the second quarter by Colts defensive lineman Tyquan Lewis. Mariota did not return against the Colts in the second half and Blaine Gabbert replaced him at quarterback as the Titans (5-5) went down to a 38-10 defeat. Mariota told reporters after practice on Wednesday that that he was able to grip the football without any problem despite the injury and that he expects he will be able to play against the Houston Texans even without a full week of practice.
Taywan Taylor – Noteworthy – Injury
WR Taywan Taylor, who has missed the past two games with a foot injury, was back at practice on Wednesday for the Titans.
