JEREMY MCNICHOLS NEWS

Steps up in passing game McNichols recorded eight receptions on 12 targets for 74 yards in Sunday's Week 4 loss to the Jets. He added one rushing attempt for 11 yards.

Impact McNichols remainined limited in the rushing attack, as Derrick Henry racked up an impressive 33 attempts on the ground. However, McNichols did increase his involvement as a receiver in the absence of both Julio Jones (hamstring) and A.J. Brown (hamstring), and he ultimately led the team in all receiving categories. Heading into Week 5, it will be difficult to project McNichols to carry this type of volume forward, though he could maintain increased involvement in the offense if the Titans' remain short-handed among its wide receiver corps.

Finds end zone on limited touches McNichols recorded two rushes for six yards in Sunday's Week 3 win over the Colts. He added one reception on two targets for 10 yards and a touchdown.

Impact McNichols remained in his typical role as he was on the field for only 18 offensive snaps. However, he did find the end zone early in the fourth quarter to put the Titans' up by nine points. McNichols will continue to serve as the complementary back to Derrick Henry, though it is worth noting that Henry has seen at least three targets in each game so far this season, which will make it difficult for McNichols to earn consistent volume.

Remains involved as pass catcher McNichols recorded only rush for three yards in Sunday's Week 2 win over Seattle. He added three receptions for 26 yards.

Impact Derrick Henry took over the game in the second half, which left McNichols to occupy an ever smaller role than typical. After playing on 36 percent of offensive snaps in Week 1, he was on the field only 24 percent of the time in Week 2. However, McNichols did maintain a role in the passing game and appears to be the clear backup to Henry for the time being.

Serves as primary backup McNichols recorded two carries for nine yards in Sunday's Week 1 loss to the Cardinals. He added three receptions on four targets for 24 yards.

Impact McNichols served his anticipated role as both a change-of-pace back and primary receiver out of the backfield. His only two carries came with under two minutes remaining in the game and victory well out of reach. On the other hand, he may have had an inflated role as receiver based on the Titans' need to throw in an attempt to come back in the contest. Though McNichols isn't projected to carry any significant workload with Derrick Henry leading the backfield, he seems to be Henry's primary backup so long as Darrynton Evans (knee) is sidelined.

Off COVID list McNichols was activated off the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact McNichols and quarterback Ryan Tannehill were removed from the reserve/COVID-19 list after spending 10 days away from the team. Both should be expected to be ready for the Week 1 contest against the Cardinals.

Lands on COVID list The Titans placed McNichols (undisclosed) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, NFL reporter Aaron Wilson reports.

Impact McNichols is competing for the No. 3 role behind Darrynton Evans (knee), making this a crucial period of the preseason to miss any time. He only has a handful of days before Saturday's exhibition finale against the Bears. Any time McNichols spends sidelined will afford Brian Hill and Mekhi Sargent increased chances to impress.

Second back on field McNichols carried the ball four times for 17 yards in the Titans' opening game of the preseason against the Falcons.

Impact With Derrick Henry sidelined, McNichols was the second back on the field behind Darrynton Evans (knee). Most notable was that McNichols worked ahead of Brian Hill, who was listed with Evans as a co-second string back on the team's initial depth chart. That seemingly put McNichols in danger of losing his roster spot, though his usage in the game indicates he may not be entirely buried among the team's rushers.

Removed from PUP McNichols (undisclosed) is no longer on the PUP list, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact McNichols is eligible to return to practice a few days into training camp, giving him plenty of time to make his case for a depth role behind Derrick Henry. However, the Titans hope 2020 third-round pick Darrynton Evan can lock down the backup job and passing-down work, with journeyman McNichols being more of a Plan B.

Added to PUP list McNichols (undisclosed) was added to the team's PUP list Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact It's unclear what type of injury McNichols might be suffering from, but given the lack of additional information provided in the announcement, it's likely not a serious issue. McNichols emerged as Tennessee's preferred backup behind Derrick Henry last season, but a healthy Darrynton Evans and newly signed Brian Hill each could make a case for the role if McNichols misses extended time throughout the preseason.

Impact McNichols worked as the backup to Derrick Henry for much of the season. He had flashes of production, highlighted by games with 51 and 49 rushing yards. However, due to Henry's dominance, McNichols was regularly relegated to little or no action on offense. McNichols remains under contract with the Titans through the end of the 2021 season, and will likely fight for the backup role once again.

Struggles with garbage time work McNichols carried the ball 11 times for nine yards in Week 14 against the Jaguars. He added one reception for one yard.

Impact McNichols earned a season-high 11 rushes, though all but one of them came in the fourth quarter with the team up by multiple scores. He also wasn't particularly effective with the opportunity, as his highlight runs went for six and four yards. McNichols has emerged as the clear backup to Derrick Henry in the Titans' backfield.

Scores in garbage time McNichols rushed the ball the ball two times for two yards and a touchdown in Week 13 against the Browns. He added three receptions for 15 yards.

Impact McNichols didn't touch the ball until late in the fourth quarter with the Titans down 20 points. He helped move the ball down the field with receptions of four and eight yards and ultimately capped off the drive with a one-yard touchdown run. McNichols remains the likeliest candidate to see the majority of work out of the backfield if Derrick Henry were to be sidelined.

Eight carries in blowout win McNichols carried the ball eight times for 20 yards in Week 12 against the Colts.

Impact McNichols saw the relatively high workload as the Titans maintained a three-touchdown lead for the entire second half. While the game was competitive, Derrick Henry dominated the backfield and logged 17 carries in the first half. McNichols continues to share backup running back duties with D'Onta Foreman.

Gets work in blowout McNichols carried the ball three times for 26 yards in Week 10 against the Colts. He added one reception for eight yards.

Impact McNichols didn't record a touch until the fourth quarter, when he worked as the primary back with the Titans down 34-17. He was productive with his limited opportunity, ripping off a run of 16 yards to get Tennessee into Colts territory. Despite the limited work, McNichols logged 17 offensive snaps, second in the team's backfield behind Derrick Henry.

Role slips in Week 9 McNichols carried the ball two times for 10 yards in Week 9 against the Bears.

Impact McNichols was out-touched by D'Onta Foreman, though he still finished second in snaps among players out of the backfield. Both McNichols and Foreman could see their roles decrease when Darrynton Evans (hamstring) is able to be activated from injured reserve.
