Lloyd Cushenberry III - Likely out for season Cushenberry is likely out for the season with an Achilles injury suffered during Sunday's 20-17 win over the Patriots, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports.
Impact The center signed a four-year, $50-million contract in the offseason after starting all 57 games he played in with Denver across his first four seasons in the NFL. Corey Levin replaced Cushenberry on Sunday, but Daniel Brunskill will probably start at center moving forward. Brunskill subbed in for injured right guard Dillon Radunz (foot) against the Patriots.

Tony Pollard - Heavy workload against NE Pollard rushed the ball 28 times for 128 yards in Sunday's 29-17 overtime win against the Patriots. He added three receptions on three targets for 26 yards.
Impact Pollard entered Sunday's game questionable due to a foot injury after failing to practice in any capacity throughout the week. That was hardly apparent in Sunday's win, as he dominated rushing attempts out of the Titans' backfield and was also efficient with the opportunity. He accounted for the team's longest play from scrimmage with a 32-yard rush on Tennessee's first possession, setting up a touchdown on the next play. Overall, four of Pollard's 28 carries went for double-digit gains, and he narrowly missed out on an even bigger performance after having a touchdown nullified by a holding call. He should remain a key playmaker in Tennessee's offense moving forward.

Quandre Diggs - Expected to be sidelined with foot Diggs (foot) is expected to miss time with the foot injury he suffered in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Patriots, Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports.
Impact Diggs went down with a foot injury in the first half of the contest against New England and he now appears to be set to miss at least one contest moving forward. More information on the safety's status will come in the near future, but in the meantime, Mike Brown would stand to see an elevated role in his absence.

Lloyd Cushenberry III - Injures ankle Cushenberry is expected to miss some time after injuring his ankle in Sunday's 20-17 victory over the Patriots, Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports.
Impact Cushenberry figures to be week-to-week going forward. If he is unable to play in Week 10 versus the Chargers, Daniel Brunskill is a candidate to fill in at center.

Quandre Diggs - Will not return Diggs will not return to Sunday's game against the Patriots due to a foot injury, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Impact Diggs accumulated three tackles (two solo) before exiting the game. In his absence, Mike Brown will presumably be next in line at free safety.

Tre Avery - Inactive Week 9 Avery (hamstring) will not play in Sunday's matchup with the Patriots, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Impact Avery is listed as inactive due to a hamstring injury. With L'Jarius Sneed (quadriceps) also out, the Titans figure to be thin at cornerback. As a result, Darrell Baker, Justin Hardee and Gabe Jeudy-Lally are candidates for increased snaps in the secondary.
NOVEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE
Dillon Radunz - Inactive versus Patriots Radunz (foot) will not play in Sunday's matchup with New England, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Impact Radunz will miss his first game of the season due to a rib injury. In his absence, Daniel Brunskill is expected to fill in at right guard.
NOVEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE
Amani Hooker - Available versus Patriots Hooker (groin) is good to go for Sunday's matchup with the Patriots, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Impact Hooker drew a questionable designation after missing the first two practices this week and logging a limited workload Friday. It looks like he has shown the team enough to get the green light. The strong safety should take on his usual responsibilities assuming he avoids any setbacks.
NOVEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE
T'Vondre Sweat - Cleared again Sweat (hip) is listed as active for Sunday's game against New England, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Impact Sweat was also listed as questionable prior to Week 8 versus the Lions and ultimately played through it. He will do so again versus the Patriots. Look for him to take on his usual duties on the interior defensive line assuming he avoids any setbacks.
NOVEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE
Josh Whyle - Good to go Whyle (illness) is active for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Impact Whyle was a late addition to the Titans' injury report Saturday, but it looks like he is feeling well enough to give it a go. He is coming off two of his better games this season the last two weeks, logging five catches on six targets for 67 yards in total.

Rookie Drake Maye back for the Pats with Mason Rudolph starting at QB for the Titans
Rookie Drake Maye is expected to start Sunday for the New England Patriots after clearing concussion protocolNOVEMBER 3 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Mason Rudolph - Drawing third straight start Rudolph is set to start Sunday against New England with Will Levis (shoulder) inactive, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Impact Rudolph will lead the Tennessee offense for the third straight game as Levis continues to recover from an AC joint sprain. He's struggled overall, recording three total touchdowns as opposed to four turnovers. Those did come in tough matchups on the road against the Bills and Lions, so Rudolph may see slightly improved results in his first home start against the Patriots.
NOVEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE
Tyler Boyd - Set to face New England Boyd (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Impact Boyd failed to practice throughout the week, but like teammate Tony Pollard (foot), he will nevertheless be active. Boyd has seen 11 targets combined across his last two games while playing around 60 percent of snaps. Despite the decent workload, Boyd recorded only 57 total yards in those two contests.
NOVEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE
Tony Pollard - Playing through foot injury Pollard is active for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Impact Pollard appeared to be trending toward an absence, as he failed to practice in any capacity throughout the week. However, he tested his foot in pregame warmups and is feeling well enough to suit up. Assuming his foot holds up, he should see a heavy dose of touches considering the ongoing absence of Tyjae Spears (hamstring), though both Julius Chestnut and Joshua Kelley are available to spell Pollard if required.
NOVEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE
Will Levis - Sitting for third straight Levis (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Impact Levis will be inactive for the third straight game while recovering from an AC joint sprain. Positively, he was able to practice in limited fashion all week and was spotted warming up prior to Sunday's game against New England. That suggests Levis may be in line for a Week 10 return against the Chargers. As for Week 9, Mason Rudolph will draw his third consecutive start.
