4 Titans out on defense, Tannehill chance to start vs Denver

Associated Press  

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill has a chance to start Sunday after practicing all week on his sprained right ankle, and Tennessee likely will need the veteran since four defensive starters were ruled out Friday against the Denver Broncos. Yet he practiced some each day this week after missing two straight games with an ankle injury suffered in the Oct. 23 win over Indianapolis. “We’ll see how it goes over the next couple of days,” Titans coach Mike Vrabel said of Tannehill. “I think he’s making progress and feeling better.” The Titans will be without four starters on defense, including Jeffery Simmons, the 2021 Pro Bowl defensive tackle who is in a walking boot after aggravating his sprained left ankle.
