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.

The Titans face a test of depth as injuries loom ahead of the Colts game. Zeitler and Brownlee are questionable, with Zeitler likely replaced by Blake Hance if he can’t go. If Brownlee sits, Darrell Baker starts and Jalyn Armour-Davis could ecosystem into a rotational role, aided by Armour-Davis’s quick adaptation since joining via waivers. Armour-Davis’s Ravens background and comfort with Dennard Wilson hint at a potential game-changing spark for Tennessee’s secondary.

In a scenario where both Brownslee and Sneed are unavailable, Armour-Davis steps into a larger role alongside Marcus Harris, with the veteran Baker manning the other boundary. The Titans’ depth push underscores how quickly a waiver claim can turn into fantasy-relevant upside, especially for a defense that needs a spark in a pivotal AFC showcase.
