Placed on injured reserve The Titans placed Jefferson (forearm) on injured reserve Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

Impact Jefferson was already ruled out for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Jaguars, and his placement on injured reserve is a procedural move to open space on the Titans' 53-man roster for the return of Bryce Oliver (knee) from IR. Jefferson will end the 2025 season with 29 catches (on 52 targets) for 350 yards and one touchdown across 16 games. The sixth-year wideout will enter the offseason as a free agent.

Two catches in Week 16 Jefferson recorded two catches on two targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 26-9 win over the Chiefs.

Impact Jefferson was questionable entering Sunday's game due to a back injury, but he played his typical allotment of around 70 percent of offensive snaps. He played a complementary role as a pass catcher, though he has had multiple receptions in four of his last six contests.

Active as expected Jefferson (back) is active for Sunday's game against Kansas City.

Impact Jefferson suffered a back injury in Sunday's loss to the 49ers and was unable to return. However, he was able to log a full practice by the end of the week and was expected to suit up. Jefferson will likely be on the field plenty for the Titans, though he's managed to reach 30 receiving yards only three times this season.

On track to play Week 16 Jefferson (back) is trending toward being cleared to play Sunday against the Chiefs, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Jefferson sustained a back injury during the Titans' Week 15 loss to the 49ers. The sixth-year wideout posted a DNP-LP-FP practice log during Week 16 prep, and while he's listed as questionable for Sunday's game, Jefferson is trending in the right direction. Over his last nine games, Jefferson has caught 20 passes (on 43 targets) for 256 yards and one touchdown.

Full Friday but still questionable Jefferson (back) practiced fully Friday but is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact Jefferson trended in the right direction throughout the week, going from a non-participant Wednesday to limited Thursday before Friday's full session. The veteran wide receiver's status likely won't be confirmed until 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Jefferson has 24 catches for 280 yards and a touchdown in 14 appearances this season, averaging exactly 20 receiving yards per game.

Upgrades to limited Thursday Jefferson (back) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice.

Impact Jefferson progressed to limited participation Thursday after sitting out Wednesday's practice session. The veteran wide receiver got hurt during Tennessee's loss to the 49ers this past Sunday. If Jefferson suits up Sunday against the Chiefs, he would likely continue to work as the third wide receiver behind rookie fourth-round picks Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike.

Misses practice Wednesday Jefferson (back) didn't practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact Jefferson exited Sunday's 37-24 loss to the 49ers with a back injury after logging 31snaps, and the wideout will now has two more chances to practice in advance of this weekend's contest against the Chiefs. If Jefferson -- who has caught 24 passes for 280 yards and a TD in 14 contests to date -- is unavailable in Week 16, added snaps behind Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike would be available for James Proche and Mason Kinsey.
