Tate also sat out Wednesday due to this injury. The rookie fourth overall pick will have one more opportunity to practice in some capacity Friday ahead of Sunday's game against the Bengals. If Tate sits out a game for the first time in his young career, Elic Ayomanor and Calvin Ridley (hip) could get more downfield targets while Wan'Dale Robinson runs his customary short and intermediate routes.

During this past Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Browns, Tate made a visit in the medical tent on the sideline during the fourth quarter after he was tackled hard to the ground at the end of a reception, per Davenport. The rookie wideout ended up missing just one snap before checking back into the contest and finished the day with five catches for 69 yards on seven targets. While Saleh didn't indicate that the shoulder issue is a major concern, Tate's practice activity will warrant monitoring over the next few days before the Titans make a call on his availability for Sunday's game in Cincinnati.

The rookie wideout was once again Cam Ward's top downfield option, leading the Titans in catches and receiving yards and tying Elic Ayomanor for the lead in targets. Tate has made five or more receptions in four of the last five games, amassing a 27-348-1 line on 40 targets during that span. He'll look to keep rolling in a Week 8 tilt against the Bengals.

The rookie wideout capped a solid performance with an eight-yard TD in the fourth quarter, accounting for the Titans' only points on offense for the afternoon in their first win of 2026 and marking the first touchdown of his career. Tate's numbers were more remarkable considering that Cam Ward threw for a meager 102 yards in the game. Tate has begun to find a groove, posting a 22-279-1 line on 33 targets over his last four games. He'll look to keep rolling in Week 7 against the Browns.

It was a rough game overall for Cam Ward and the Titans' passing game, with Tate's numbers being emblematic of the unit's struggles, and it's not clear how much the back issue he dealt with in practice this week was limiting him. It was an especially disappointing showing for the fourth overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft after his 9-145-0 line on 12 targets the week before, but growing pains are to be expected in Tennessee's low-wattage offense. Tate will take a 23-273-0 line on 37 targets through his first five pro games into a Week 6 tilt against the Colts.

Tate was limited in the Titans' final two Week 5 practices due to the back issue, but the injury apparently won't be enough of a concern to keep the rookie wideout off the field Sunday. The No. 4 overall pick in the 2026 Draft is coming off a career-best performance in the Titans' 24-18 loss to the Ravens in Week 4, when he tallied nine catches for 145 yards on 12 targets.

After a breakout Week 4 performance in a loss to Baltimore (nine catches for 145 yards on 12 targets), Tate has been slowed by a back injury in Week 5. Tate was limited in practices Thursday and Friday, but head coach Robert Saleh said following the latter session that the Titans anticipated that the rookie wideout would be ready to go for Sunday. Tate still looks to be in a good spot on the health front heading into Sunday's game, with official confirmation on his status set to arrive when Tennessee posts its inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

Tate was added to the injury report Thursday as a limited participant, and he again was limited at Friday's session. It's a good sign that he hasn't missed a practice entirely, and Titans coach Robert Saleh said Friday that the rookie was ready to play. It sounds like Tate might be listed as 'probable' if the designation still existed, but fantasy managers still will want to make sure he's active ahead of a 1:00 p.m ET kickoff Sunday.

Tate was limited by some back tightness this week, according to Saleh, but the first-round rookie will be out there for his normal role against Houston. After commanding 42.9 percent of the targets in last Sunday's loss to the Ravens, Tate's arrow appears to be pointing upward after a slow first couple weeks of the season. He's the unquestioned No. 1 receiver in Tennessee's anemic offense.

This is a new injury for Tate, who practiced without limitations Wednesday. The rookie fourth overall pick is coming off the best performance of his young NFL career, as Tate compiled nine catches for 145 yards in this past Sunday's 28-14 loss to the Ravens. A return to full participation Friday would help Tate avoid taking an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Texans.

While the fourth overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft is still looking for his first career touchdown, Tate looked the part of a No. 1 wideout Sunday, as his 145 receiving yards were more than he'd produced in his first three games combined. He'll take a 22-268-0 line on 32 targets, and some real momentum, into a Week 5 home tilt against the Texans, whose secondary just got shredded by CeeDee Lamb for 17 catches, 189 yards and a TD.

The fourth overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft set new season highs in catches, targets and receiving yards while leading the Titans in the latter category, although Wan'Dale Robinson caught one more pass and was on the other end of Cam Ward's only TD of the day. Through three games, Tate leads the team with 20 targets, turning them into a modest 13-123-0 line in one of the league's weakest passing attacks. Tate will try to keep building chemistry with Ward in a Week 4 road trip to Baltimore.
