Jeremy McNichols - Page 6 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Remains absent Thursday McNichols (concussion) wasn't spotted at Thursday's practice, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact McNichols has now missed consecutive practices, putting his status for Sunday's game against the Texans in doubt. D'Onta Foreman and Adrian Peterson are in line to split early-down snaps in Tennessee's backfield against Houston, though it's not clear which running back would absorb the passing-down duties normally occupied by McNichols should he sit Sunday.

Dealing with concussion McNichols (concussion) didn't practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact It remains to be seen if McNichols gains clearance to play in Sunday's game against the Texans, but if he does, he'd profile as a hit-or-miss PPR option in Week 11 fantasy lineups, with Adrian Peterson and D'Onta Foreman both in line for their share of backfield touches, notably on early downs.

Role slipping McNichols gained seven yards on four carries in Sunday's 23-21 win over the Saints. He added one reception on three targets for one yard.

Impact McNichols worked behind both Adrian Peterson and D'Onta Foreman and did little with the opportunity he did receive. His longest rush of the day went for only four yards, and he was also not a factor as a receiver. Though it was originally expected that McNichols would be a key figure in the Titans' backfield in the absence of Derrick Henry (foot), his role appears to have slipped significantly in the last two games.

NOVEMBER 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Ten total touches McNichols recorded seven carries for 24 yards in Sunday's 28-16 win over the Rams. He added three receptions for 11 yards.

Impact McNichols finished second on the team in carries, with Adrian Peterson commanding 10 rushing attempts and D'Onta Foreman five. McNichols ripped off a 14-yard gain but was otherwise largely held on check on the ground. Similarly, he had one reception that went for nine yards, but was otherwise limited as a receiver. Though he did see an increased role on the ground as projected in the absence of Derrick Henry (foot), the Titans' backfield appears to have devolved into a three-way timeshare for touches.

Derrick Henry's season in jeopardy after foot injury in Tennessee Titans' win over Indianapolis Colts

Here is the latest on Derrick Henry's foot injury, as Tennessee braces to be without its superstar for the long haul.

Derrick Henry's season in jeopardy after foot injury in Tennessee Titans' win over Indianapolis Colts

Expanded role likely With Derrick Henry slated to undergo foot surgery, McNichols is in line for added work in the coming weeks, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact While the Titans didn't offer a timetable for Henry's potential return to action, he'll presumably miss extended time. At this stage, the team has McNichols and Dontrell Hilliard on hand and backfield reinforcements figure to arrive soon, potentially via a trade in advance of Tuesday's deadline. With that in mind, McNichols' exact role and volume in Henry's absence is to be determined, but in the short-term as least, he's in line for added touches.

In line for increased role McNichols could be in line for a bigger role due to Derrick Henry's foot injury, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact The Titans are waiting for official word on the extent of the damage to Henry's foot. Regardless of whether he is ruled out for the rest of the season, it appears that Henry could be in line for a lengthy absence. McNichols has served as the Titans' second back for the entire season, though he has only seven rushing attempts across eight games. It's also possible that the team searches for help outside the organization, particularly given that Darrynton Evans (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of the campaign.

Records three receptions McNichols recorded three receptions on three targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 34-31 win over the Colts.

Impact McNichols had his role as the Titans' second back solidified after Darrynton Evans (knee) was shut down for the season. He did not log a carry but did record multiple receptions for the fifth time in eight games on the campaign. Though Derrick Henry will handle the vast majority of the work out of the Titans' backfield, McNichols is the clear backup if Henry were to be forced to miss any time.

Gets old role back with Evans done McNichols will retake his previous role as Derrick Henry's backup, as Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports that Darrynton Evans (knee) has been placed on IR and will miss...

Impact McNichols and Evans split the leftovers behind Henry in Evans' lone appearance of the season last week, and McNichols was limited to just one touch in that game. With Evans out of the picture again, McNichols should see a workload closer to the 4.8 touches per game he averaged in the first five before getting injured early in Week 6. McNichols' fantasy relevance will likely remain limited to deeper leagues as long as Henry stays healthy.

Role shrinks McNichols recorded one reception on one target for 10 yards in Sunday's 27-3 win over Kansas City.

Impact McNichols has worked primarily as a pass catcher out of the backfield, so the game script didn't fit into his typical role. He also lost some work to Darrynton Evans (knee), who returned from injured reserve to make his first appearance of the season. Through six weeks, it was clear that McNichols was the primary backup to Derrick Henry, though his role on the team is now less defined.

OCTOBER 25, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Active versus Kansas City McNichols (ankle) is listed as active for Sunday's game against Kansas City, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact Through six games, McNichols has logged just seven carries, though the 25-year-old has factored into the Titans' passing attack at times. However, with Darrynton Evans (knee) having been activated off IR, it remains to be seen how many touches there will be for McNichols in Week 7. Derrick Henry is slated to continue to handle the bulk of the team's backfield work as long as he remains healthy and available.

OCTOBER 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Listed as questionable McNichols (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against Kansas City, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Impact McNichols was limited at practice Thursday and Friday but has a chance to suit up Sunday after he aggravated an ankle injury in last week's win over the Bills. Even if he's available against the Chiefs, the 25-year-old is unlikely to play a significant role while operating as Derrick Henry's backup.

Limited Thursday McNichols (ankle) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports.

Impact The running back suffered an ankle injury Monday night versus the Bills, causing him to leave the game early and also miss Wednesday's walkthrough. With his participation Thursday, his chances to play Sunday versus the Chiefs are a little higher. Friday's practice will offer a little more clarity on his availability. McNichols has operated behind Derrick Henry in the backfield this year, rushing the ball seven times for 38 yards while also making 17 catches for 160 yards and a score in six games.
