Chig Okonkwo - Page 2 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Another limited practice Okonkwo (foot) was limited in practice Thursday.

Impact Okonkwo managed to play through his foot injury Week 11 without being tagged with an injury designation, so as long as he's able to log at least another limited session Friday, he will have strong odds of being cleared for Sunday's game against the Seahawks. Across 10 regular-season appearances so far, Okonkwo has secured 32 of 42 targets for 337 receiving yards, but he's still looking for his first touchdown of 2025.

Logs limited practice Wednesday Okonkwo (foot) was limited in practice Wednesday.

Impact Okonkwo continues to manage a foot issue that limited him at practice last week, but the tight end approached Week 11 action without an injury designation before catching all three of his targets for 56 yards in this past Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Texans. With no reported setbacks in the contest, Okonkwo's listed limitations Wednesday are likely maintenance-related.

Three catches in loss Okonkwo caught all three of his targets for 56 yards in Sunday's 16-13 loss to Houston.

Impact Okonkwo led the way for his team with 56 receiving yards, which was his highest total since Week 3. The tight end has now registered multiple receptions in three straight contests and eight of 10 games overall this season, but he has still yet to find the end zone. Okonkwo will look to find paydirt in Week 12 against the Seahawks.

Cleared to face Texans Okonkwo (foot) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Texans, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact Okonkwo was limited in all three of Tennessee's practices coming out of a Week 10 bye, but his status for Sunday's game isn't in doubt. Rookie fourth-round pick Gunnar Helm has been pushing Okonkwo for playing time, and the Titans may generally struggle to move the ball against a Houston defense that's allowing a league-low 16.7 points per game.

Titans look to rebound after embarrassing shutout loss to Texans

The Tennessee Titans have a very low bar for showing improvement after being shut out by Houston the last time these teams met

NOVEMBER 14, 2025 • Associated Press

Limited in practice again Okonkwo (foot) was limited in practice Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact Okonkwo has been limited in each of Tennessee's first practices of Week 11, meaning Friday will be his final opportunity to upgrade his activity level. As long as Okonkwo is able to again handle at least limited reps Friday, though, it stands to reason he'll be able to play through his foot injury versus the Texans on Sunday. He toughed out the issue Week 9 versus the Chargers, after which the Titans benefited from a bye.

NOVEMBER 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Limited in practice Wednesday Okonkwo (foot) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact Okonkwo managed to play through his foot injury when the Titans last took the field, a Week 9 loss to the Chargers, and resting up during the team's Week 10 bye wasn't enough time for the tight end to get fully healthy. Still, unless he takes a step back and misses practice Thursday and/or Friday, Okonkwo seems likely to be able to play through the injury again Sunday versus Houston. Across nine regular-season appearances so far, Okonkwo has secured 29 of 39 targets for 281 scoreless receiving yards.

NOVEMBER 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Limited opportunity in loss Okonkwo recorded two receptions on two targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Chargers.

Impact The Titans ran only 44 plays and attempted just 21 passes, limiting volume for all of their offensive skill-position players. Okonkwo was one of the affected pass catchers, as he was targeted only twice to match his lowest mark of the season. He remains a key part of the Tennessee offense, but his results are likely to remain inconsistent given the poor state of the unit.

NOVEMBER 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared to play Sunday Okonkwo (foot) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Impact Okonkwo was able to log a full practice Friday. Splitting snaps with Gunnar Helm at tight end, Okonkwo has produced just 27-271-0 receiving through eight games this season. He's not a recommended fantasy target.

Misses practice Thursday Okonkwo (foot) didn't participate in practice Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact This is a downgrade for Okonkwo after he logged a limited practice session Wednesday. The severity of his foot issue isn't clear, but it's concerning that the fourth-year tight end was held out entirely in the penultimate practice of the week. If Okonkwo can't play Sunday versus the Chargers, Gunnar Helm could start at tight end for Tennessee.

Logs limited practice Okonkwo (foot) was limited in practice Wednesday.

Impact Okonkwo put together a solid performance during Tennessee's loss to the Colts in Week 8, securing four of five targets for 53 yards, but he appears to have picked up a foot injury in the process. The starting tight end will have two more chances to upgrade to full practice reps ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Chargers. If Okonkwo is limited in any capacity versus Los Angeles, or even unavailable, rookie fourth-round pick Gunnar Helm will stand to see a notable uptick in opportunities.

Bounces back against Colts Okonkwo recorded four receptions on five targets for 53 yards in Sunday's 38-14 loss to the Colts.

Impact Okonkwo bounced back from a surprising catchless performance in Week 7 to make a pair of deep catches that went for 23 and 18 yards. Even as Gunnar Helm has emerged in the Tennessee offense, Okonkwo's role has remained stable as he has at least five targets in three of the team's last four games. He's also produced at least 45 yards in all three of those contests, giving him a surprisingly competent baseline level of production.

OCTOBER 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

No catches in blowout loss Okonkwo recorded zero receptions on two targets in Sunday's 31-13 loss to the Patriots.

Impact Okonkwo maintained his typical allotment of snaps, as he was on the field for 61 percent of offensive plays. However, his role as a pass catcher was diminished relative to Gunnar Helm, who was the far superior receiver in the loss. Okonkwo has at least four catches in four of seven games this season, so this performance was likely an anamoly.

Strong PPR results Sudnay Okonkwo finished with six receptions on as many targets for 46 yards in Sunday's 20-10 loss to the Raiders.

Impact Okonkwo's six targets Sunday tied his previous season high, while the six grabs set a new high-water mark through six starts. Aside from a one-catch dud in Week 4, the veteran tight end has carved out a consistent role in the passing game. Okonkwo will carry a 23-218-0 receiving line into next Sunday's tilt against the Patriots.
