Titans Get Boost as Simmons, Ridley, Key Return for Texans Showdown

Nashville, TN – In a much-needed boost, the Tennessee Titans will see the return of key veterans Jeffery Simmons, Calvin Ridley, and Arden Key for their game against the Houston Texans this Sunday at Nissan Stadium. The three players, all sidelined with injuries in recent weeks, are expected to significantly impact both sides of the ball for the struggling Titans (1-8).

Defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons (hamstring), wide receiver Calvin Ridley (hamstring), and pass rusher Arden Key (quadricep) are all set to play after missing multiple games. Simmons and Ridley, the Titans’ highest-paid players, will look to immediately contribute to the team.

However, the news wasn’t all positive for the Titans. Safety Xavier Woods will miss the game due to a hamstring injury, leading to increased playing time for rookie Kevin Winston Jr. The Titans have also elevated safety Mike Brown from injured reserve. Brown is set to make his first appearance in over a month and honored his late cousin, former Dallas Cowboys player Marshawn Kneeland, by wearing a memorial jersey.

Meanwhile, the Houston Texans (4-5) will be without starting quarterback C.J. Stroud, who remains in concussion protocol. Davis Mills will start in his place after leading the team to victory last week. Complete inactive lists for both teams have been released.

The Titans will be looking to capitalize on the return of their key players and secure a much-needed victory against their division rival.
