Running back Aaron Jones (ribs), edge rusher Andrew Van Ginkel (hip) and Oliver (wrist) remained limited.
The Titans are fighting more injuries. Starting cornerback L’Jarius Sneed (quadriceps) and right tackle Leroy Watson (back) missed a second consecutive practice. Three others, edge rusher Arden Key (back), cornerback Roger McCreary (knee) and running back Tony Pollard (foot), returned to practice Thursday.
Linebacker Brian Asamoah, a 2022 third-round pick, has not found his way into defensive coordinator Brian Flores’ plans very often. But he’s become a mainstay on special teams, where coordinator Matt Daniels said Asamoah gave a speech before the Jaguars game about maximizing opportunities regardless of where you came from, referencing injury replacements in kicker Parker Romo and long snapper Jake McQuaide.
“Now that Josh Metellus and [Ivan Pace Jr.] have gone on to these larger roles, who’s the guy?” Daniels said. “B.A. has taken on that role. Obviously, C.J. Ham is always going to be the guy. But with that, who else can be the guy? Be the pulse and that leader? B.A. has been a lot more vocal over the past couple weeks. You can just see the maturation of the player.”
