Autry recorded 50 tackles (30 solo), 11.5 sacks, four passes defensed and two forced fumbles across 17 games with the Titans in 2023.
EDGE Analysis
Autry has been a key pass rusher for the Titans since joining the team in 2021. He reached new heights in 2023, however, logging career-high marks in tackles, sacks and snaps played. Autry is set to hit free agency and could be in for one final payday as he enters his age-34 season in 2024.

Autry recorded four tackles (four solo) including two sacks in Sunday's 19-16 overtime loss versus the Texans.
EDGE Analysis
Sunday's performance pushed Autry's season sack total up to 11.0, a career high for the 33-year-old defensive end. The Seahawks have actually been relatively pass-happy so far this season, so Autry could get another healthy dose of pass-rushing opportunities in Week 16.

Autry (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Texans.
EDGE Analysis
Autry had a limited practice session Thursday sandwiched between two DNPs, but he'll suit up for Sunday's AFC South clash. His presence is particularly welcome, with Jeffery Simmons (knee) missing his second straight game and the Titans waiving Teair Tart on Saturday. Autry has a career-high 40 tackles (25 solo), including 9.0 sacks, and two forced fumbles in 13 games in his third year in Tennessee.

EDGE Analysis
Autry played a key role for the Titans' pass rush in their Week 14 win over the Dolphins, especially with Jeffery Simmons (knee) out of the contest. Autry had four tackles (three solo), including a strip sack that led to a key turnover for the Tennessee defense. He's up to a career-high 40 tackles on the year, and his nine sacks also marks a career-best that he's reached twice.

Autry (groin) is active for Sunday's game against the Bengals.
EDGE Analysis
Autry turned in two limited practices to close the week, and he'll be ready to suit up. He'll be a key part of the team's pass rush while squaring off against Joe Burrow, as Autry has at least one sack in every game this season.

The Titans have listed Autry (groin) as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals.
EDGE Analysis
Autry popped up on the injury report Thursday due to a groin injury. He logged consecutive limited practices to close the week. His status Sunday will likely depend on how he is feeling that morning. Kyle Peko would likely replace him at defensive end if he does not get the green light.
