Ward cleared for full practice, giving Tennessee a clear path to a complete game plan with Bo Hardegree against Houston. Ward’s health signals a more balanced attack and clearer target sharing for pass-catchers. Mausi is out with a back injury, while JC Latham, Kalel Mullings and Bryce Oliver sit out; Zeitler and Winston Jr. are limited. Most others are ready for Sunday. Fantasy managers should monitor Ward’s involvement and how the offense leverages play-action and a healthier passing game.

The Titans arrive in Houston 0-3 with a crowded injury report that could reshape Week 4. JC Latham’s hip strain keeps him out, thrusting Oli Udoh and John Ojukwu into RT duties while the right side retools. Jarvis Brownlee Jr. is nursing an ankle and L’Jarius Sneed has knee/back concerns, potentially limiting Tennessee’s boundary defense. T’Vondre Sweat and Tyjae Spears remain on IR, narrowing depth on both lines and in the backfield. Cam Ward’s return to Houston adds a subtle, performance-driven subplot as Tennessee seeks its first win of the year.
