Key (hip) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old sustained a hip injury in the Week 17 loss to the Saints and didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, so it's no surprise he'll be sidelined Sunday. Key has now closed his 2025 campaign with 22 total tackles, including 4.0 sacks, across 12 contests. While he's sidelined for the Week 18 divisional matchup, expect Jaylen Harrell to start opposite Jihad Ward.

Key (hip) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Key was removed from the Titans' Week 17 loss to the Saints due to what was initially reported as a back injury. He has since been diagnosed with a hip issue, which prevented him from participating in the opening practice of Week 18 prep. The veteran pass rusher will have two more opportunities to log at least a limited session ahead of Sunday's regular-season finale against the Jaguars. Key has accumulated 16 tackles (seven solo), including 2.5 sacks, across seven games since the Titans' Week 10 bye.

Key (back) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Saints.

EDGE Analysis

Key went to the locker room in the third quarter, and he is being evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return. Jaylen Harrell and Truman Jones are in line for more defensive snaps for as long as Key is out of the game.

Key (illness) is active for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

EDGE Analysis

Key was a late addition to Friday's injury report due to an illness, but he has recovered enough over the weekend to play in Sunday's home game. He has accumulated 13 tackles (five solo), including 2.5 sacks, in the five games since the Titans' Week 10 bye.

Key (illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

EDGE Analysis

Key was a new addition to Friday's injury report with an illness that prevented the linebacker from practicing. The veteran defender's ability to suit up for Sunday's contest will largely depend on whether he can kick the illness in time. If Key is unable to return to playing health, Jaylen Harrell and Truman Jones would be in line for an increased snap share at outside linebacker in Sunday's contest.

Key posted two solo tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and an addition QB hit during the Titans' 30-24 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Key got to Sam Darnold for a seven-yard sack on a fourth-down play early in the fourth quarter, giving the Titans the ball back at midfield. Key missed four games earlier in the season due to a quadriceps injury but has been productive in the seven regular-season games he's played, having totaled 11 tackles (six solo), including 4.0 sacks. He'll look to add to his sack total during this Sunday's AFC South tilt against the Jaguars.

Key tallied three tackles (two solo), including 1.5 sacks, during Tennessee's loss to the Texans on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Key had sat out the team's last four games with a quadriceps injury but had a strong outing in his return, as he recorded a team-high 1.5 sacks. The 29-year-old will look to build on this performance and continue producing in the Week 12 matchup versus Seattle.

Key (quadriceps) is active for Sunday's game against Houston.

EDGE Analysis

Key has progressed enough in his recovery from a quadriceps injury to return from a four-game absence. His return, coupled with Jeffery Simmons (hamstring) also being cleared, will help bolster the Titans' pass rush in Sunday's AFC South tilt, though less rotational snaps at outside linebacker will be available for Jaylen Harrell and Truman Jones. Key posted six tackles (two solo), including 1.5 sacks, in the five regular-season games prior to his injury.

Key (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Key missed the Titans' last four games due to a quadriceps injury he sustained against the Cardinals in Week 5. The Week 10 bye gave him additional time to progress in his recovery, and he was a limited participant in all three practices during Week 11 prep. If Key is cleared to play in Sunday's AFC South tilt, that would mean less defensive snaps at outside linebacker would be available for Truman Jones and Jaylen Harrell.

Key (quadriceps) was a limited participant in Tennessee's practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Key has been sidelined for the team's last four games but appears to be nearing his return. If the 29-year-old manages to practice either Thursday or Friday as well, he should be in line to make his return during Sunday's matchup versus the Texans.
