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.

Key (quadriceps) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Chargers, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Key was unable to practice both Wednesday and Thursday due to a quadriceps injury sustained in Tennessee's Week 5 win over the Cardinals, so it's no surprise that he'll remain sidelined Sunday. Expect Jihad Ward to continue operating as one of the Titans' top outside linebackers until Key returns from injury.

Key (quadriceps) won't practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old has missed Tennessee's last three games due to a quadriceps injury sustained in the Week 5 win over the Cardinals, and Wednesday's DNP suggests he's not nearing a return. If Key is sidelined again in the Week 9 matchup against the Chargers, expect Jihad Ward to start opposite Dre'Mont Jones in the Titans' linebacker corps.
