Titans right tackle JC Latham (hip) indicates he'll sit out vs. Rams

Field Level Media

Tennessee Titans right tackle JC Latham told reporters Thursday that he will miss Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams.

Latham (hip) missed practice for the second straight day. He aggravated the injury during Sunday's season-opening loss to the Denver Broncos.

Latham departed the game against Denver and later re-entered and tried to play through the injury.

"It made it worse," Latham said. "... It's a strain so you can't really do anything. I'm still taking the approach mentally getting as much film as I can like as if I'm actually playing."

Latham started all 17 games for Tennessee and didn't miss a snap at left tackle as a rookie in 2024. He was the No. 7 overall pick out of Alabama.

He was switched to right tackle in the offseason after Tennessee signed former Pittsburgh Steelers tackle Dan Moore Jr. as a free agent to man the left side.

Defensive lineman T'Vondre Sweat (ankle) and running back Kalel Mullings (ankle) also missed practice for the second straight day.

Player Notes
Josh Reynolds Sep 11 7:20pm ET
Josh Reynolds

New York Jets wide receiver Josh Reynolds (hamstring) popped up on the Week 2 injury report on Thursday and was listed as a non-participant in practice. Mid-week injuries are typically not a good sign, especially if a player doesn't practice at all a day after being a full-go. Reynolds has a shot to return to practice on Friday, but he's trending as questionable right now to play in Week 2 against the division-rival Buffalo Bills. The 30-year-old veteran played 97 percent of the offensive snaps in the Week 1 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, but it amounted to only two catches on three targets for 18 yards in a game in which the Jets' offense was humming against a strong defense. Allen Lazard was a surprise inactive last weekend in the season opener, but if Reynolds cannot play, he should be active for the first time as the potential WR2 behind Garrett Wilson.

Chris Rodriguez Jr. Sep 11 7:10pm ET
Chris Rodriguez Jr.

Washington Commanders running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. is a healthy inactive for the second straight week to open the season in 2025 on Thursday Night Football against the Green Bay Packers. There were rumblings at the end of training camp that Rodriguez could have a significant early-down role alongside rookie Jacory Croskey-Merritt after the team traded Brian Robinson Jr. to the San Francisco 49ers, but that has not been the case. The 24-year-old RB has opened the year as the No. 4 behind Croskey-Merritt, veteran Austin Ekeler, and Jeremy McNichols. JCR has the most upside of any back in Washington's offense as the favorite for most of the early down work, while Ekeler has flex appeal in point-per-reception leagues. At least for another week, Rodriguez belongs on the waiver wire in 12-team fantasy formats.

Evan Engram

Denver Broncos TE Evan Engram (calf) fully participated in practice Thursday, Sept. 11.

Fantasy Spin: Engram had a quiet start to his Broncos debut with only 21 yards on three catches but should see a handful of targets against the Indianapolis Colts. He can be considered a No. 2 tight end in fantasy leagues this week.

Darius Slayton Sep 11 7:00pm ET
Darius Slayton

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (groin) popped up on Thursday's injury report and was listed as a limited participant in practice despite not showing up on the initial Week 2 injury report on Wednesday. If Slayton is unable to return to a full practice on Friday, he could be considered questionable for the Week 2 matchup against the division-rival Dallas Cowboys this Sunday. Even if the 28-year-old is cleared to play this weekend, fantasy managers in most leagues should be avoiding Slayton in a Giants offense that struggled to move the ball in the season-opening loss to the Washington Commanders under new quarterback Russell Wilson. At best, Slayton is a low-volume WR3 in New York's offense behind Malik Nabers and Wan'Dale Robinson. In Week 1, he failed to corral his only target from Wilson.

Chris Godwin

Updating a previous report, Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin (ankle) was limited during practice Thursday, Sept. 11.

Fantasy Spin: Godwin has not been ruled out of Week 2 at this point, but he just returned to practice Thursday and probably will see a limited workload if he is active for the game. Fantasy players may want to see him practice for a few weeks before considering him for their lineups.

Christian Kirk Sep 11 6:40pm ET
Christian Kirk

After missing the Week 1 loss to the Los Angeles Rams due to a hamstring injury, Houston Texans wide receiver Christian Kirk (hamstring) was unable to practice on Wednesday as the team began preparations to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday night in Week 2. Wideout Braxton Berrios (hamstring) was also listed as a DNP. The Texans are saying both pass-catchers are making progress, but it doesn't mean they'll be active for Monday Night Football. With Kirk inactive in Week 1, none of Houston's receivers really stood out on a tough day for the offense, even WR1 Nico Collins, who had just three catches for 25 yards. If Kirk were to miss another game in Week 2, expect targets to be spread among rookies Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Joel, Xavier Hutchinson, and Justin Watson, as well as tight end Dalton Schultz. Kirk still has two more days to return to practice on Friday and Saturday, but as of now, it's not looking good for him to make his debut with the Texans on Monday night. When healthy, he's expected to operate as the team's primary slot receiver.

Evan Engram Sep 11 6:30pm ET
Evan Engram

Denver Broncos tight end Evan Engram (calf) improved to a full participant in practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday, according to Aric DiLalla of DenverBroncos.com. Engram was injured in the Week 1 victory over the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, but his return to a full practice on Thursday means he should be fine to play this Sunday on the road against the Indianapolis Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium. Before leaving early against the Titans last weekend, the 31-year-old had a pretty quiet debut with Denver, catching three of his four targets for 21 yards and no touchdowns. If active in Week 2, Engram will hope to be more involved in the passing game for a Denver offense that was stuck in the mud for all four quarters against Tennessee. If Engram is cleared to suit up on Friday, fantasy managers should consider him more of a TE2 with upside as he looks to cement a bigger role with his new team.

Jauan Jennings Sep 11 6:20pm ET
Jauan Jennings

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (shoulder) was doing conditioning on a side field on Thursday and did not practice with the rest of the team, according to the Bay Area News Group's Cam Inman. Jennings injured his shoulder late in the Week 1 win over the Seattle Seahawks and never returned. The Niners sent Jennings for tests earlier this week, and it's not believed that he's dealing with anything serious. However, with two straight DNPs to begin the week, he's trending in the wrong direction to play in Week 2 against the New Orleans Saints unless he's able to practice on Friday. The 28-year-old should have a bigger role going forward with tight end George Kittle (hamstring) out three to five weeks, but he'll be a fade candidate in fantasy if he plays in Week 2 with backup quarterback Mac Jones expected to make the start. Jennings caught only two passes for 16 yards in the season opener.

Christian McCaffrey Sep 11 6:10pm ET
Christian McCaffrey

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey (calf) returned to practice on Thursday after being rested in the first practice of the week on Wednesday. It's unclear if McCaffrey was a full or limited participant, but he should be good to go for Week 2 against the New Orleans Saints as long as he doesn't suffer any sort of setback on Friday. The 29-year-old oft-injured RB popped up on last week's injury report on Thursday but proceeded to play in the Week 1 win over the Seattle Seahawks. CMC had a positive season opener after being the biggest fantasy bust in 2024 due to injuries, as he produced 142 scrimmage yards. He ran for 69 yards on 22 carries and also caught nine of his 10 targets for an additional 73 yards through the air. Quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) is not expected to play in Week 2, but McCaffrey should continue to be a target hog, especially with tight end George Kittle (hamstring) out three to five weeks. He's a must-start in all fantasy formats.

Drake London Sep 11 6:00pm ET
Drake London

Atlanta Falcons wide receivers Drake London (shoulder) and Darnell Mooney (shoulder) were both listed as limited participants for the second straight day in practice on Thursday. London injured his shoulder in the fourth quarter of the Week 1 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, while Mooney was inactive for the season opener. It sounds like they could both be available on Sunday night against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 2, but they could draw questionable tags on Friday if they are unable to upgrade to full practices. Head coach Raheem Morris said earlier this week that he expects London to play this weekend, but it's not a guarantee. A questionable tag would make London, normally a must-start WR1, much more risky going into Sunday night. London was heavily involved in Week 1 before getting hurt, catching eight of 15 targets for 55 yards.
