 and back to a normal or a more normal looking Titans roster. Absolutely we're starting to see some of those familiar faces return the entire team was able to get some much needed rest the ability to kind of get back on track refocus and now we're going forward with the Jags. All right as we take a look at the Titans inactives you see some of the names on this list because of injury like Jackrabbit Jenkins and David Long and Tia Tartt but then you have Desfitz Patrick Kari Blassen game and Dylan Radins back because some other players are back and available and then there's Zach Cunningham he got here on Friday not ready to play for the Titans yet the anticipation is the former Texans linebacker will be ready to go for the Pittsburgh game next Sunday adding something to the Titans defense for the Jaguars inactive wise they didn't even call anybody up from the practice squad so they only have five guys down no surprises on this list Brandon Lender they're starting center out with a back injury he's the only injured Jaguar the other four are healthy scratches so who all is back for the Tennessee Titans following the buy well it's a goodly number of players and as we take a look at those that's one of the things that I think Titans fans are probably most excited about starting with Julio Jones absolutely we've been waiting for Julio Jones to return to get healthy this is a great game for him to get out there to be able to run around with this offense a little bit make some of those plays and get back on the field so excited to see him out there Julio Jones back for the first time since Los Angeles after being on the injured reserve it's battled hamstring problems all year looking for his first touchdown catch as a Titan maybe it comes today if we could pull that list back up very carefully though of those nine guys dane crook shank along with Julio Jones and racy mcmath back from the entry list Logan Woodside and Joe Jones back from the COVID list Nate Davis has missed two games he'll start at right guard after battling a concussion and we are seeing Rashawn Evans for the first time since the Kansas City game as a matter of fact we anticipate that Rashawn Evans and Jayon Brown will start together at linebacker for today the regular duo for the last couple years this will be the first time they have started together since the opener against Arizona and it's so great to have those two guys back on the field together their skill sets complement each other so well both players seem to do a better job on the field when they have the other person they're 54 and 55 are a duo they're a team and hopefully that will spark some things in this defense and give some other players the chance to make some plays well especially stop the run game right because in the first game on october 10th that the titans won by 18 points the jaguars rushed for 198 yards right and i don't think the tennessee titans have forgotten that to put it mildly we have seen run defense be a point of emphasis all week definitely something that this team has focused in on and it's one of their keys this week one other guy that needs to get going for the tennessee titans ryan tana hill tana hill little beaten up headed into the buy now back and available at full speed feeling good more receivers at the ready this is a team he normally plays very well against he needs to get it jump started to head into this final stretch today and that's exactly what he needs mic it's a jump start a chance to connect on some of those plays to really see the guys around him perform and get some points on the board be able to move the ball get some of those deeper plays that we've been missing the last couple of weeks this could be a real chance for ryan tana hill to get his feet back under him get back on track and you know really put up some awesome numbers today if he throws for 231 yards today he reaches 30 000 for his career he would be the 51st passer in nfl history to do that it's pretty impressive that's very impressive and for ryan tana hill and for the titans offense it's not just about throwing for a lot of yards it's about throwing efficiently mic vraybull has talked about that all week and we know the stack when ryan tana hill completes 70 percent of his passes as the titans quarterback the titans are 13 and 0 that means he's throwing it well and that means they're catching it it means he's throwing it well the guys in front of him are blocking for him well and you're right the receivers are making the plays they're catching the balls and that gets a lot of people involved it's not just receivers it's also the tight ends we've seen them involved we've seen some of the backs involved in that as well if every person on the offense can do their job ryan tana hill is able to be successful we were able to show you some of those guys who are back those nine players who are back for the titans racy mcmath dang crook shank guys like that joe jones step out that means special teams which is kind of let down recently can take a big step up titans use special teams to their advantage against jacksonville earlier and at other times during the season maybe that becomes an advantage again absolutely getting some of their key players back who can help contribute if for nothing else might keep field positions going to be such a big part of this game so getting the guys that can make those plays that can have the big returns but can also block and do the things that they need to do to get on special teams and get them in a position and if we could get some field goals too that would be great huh be be great if they just kick extra points but if randy bullock needs to make field goals will be for that too randy bullock had a really good week of practice after not kicking so well at new england so the titans hoping they can get him started again and we're headed down the stretch five games to go the titans are currently the second seed in the afc behind new england new england off today indian apless off today all that's great well and good we can talk about all these other stats with the bottom line is gotta beat jacksonville at nissan stadium yep there there's some pressure in the last five weeks of this regular season you want to win your home games you want to win your division games and it's just so fun to beat the jags so we may as well it's a beautiful day it's a beautiful day if you're coming to
