Decker caught three passes for 32 yards on five targets in Sunday's 37-16 win at Jacksonville.
EDGE Analysis
Decker tied for the team lead in targets as quarterback Marcus Mariota spread the ball around, producing five players over 30 receiving yards. The veteran wide receiver's calling card has been his red zone proficiency, but he's been unable to flash those skills with Tennessee effectively employing a run-first approach in close.

Decker drew eight targets, but finished with just three catches for 10 yards in Sunday's opener against the Raiders.
EDGE Analysis
Decker and quarterback Marcus Mariota simply weren't on the same page. The veteran wide receiver was one of four players to be targeted at least eight times, but each of the other three finished with at least 69 yards. Tennessee's passing attack is unlikely to see this much volume often, but the Titans mostly abandoned the run while playing catch-up in this one and aired it out 41 times. On the bright side, Decker's ability to line up both on the outside and in the slot allowed him to lead the team's wide receivers with 60 offensive snaps out of a possible 64.

Titans coach Mike Mularkey said Decker (ankle) was healthy enough to play in the final preseason game, Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Decker probably wouldn't have played even if he had been 100 percent healthy, but the fact that he could've suggests his availability for Week 1 against the Raiders isn't in question. The real concern is target volume as part of an offense that also features Rishard Matthews, Corey Davis, Delanie Walker, DeMarco Murray and Derrick Henry. The Titans have a lot of mouths to feed.

Decker (right ankle) returned to practice Tuesday, Jason Wolf of The Tennessean reports.
EDGE Analysis
Decker's return to the field Tuesday paves the way for him to be ready for Week 1 action, barring a setback, but he's not expected to play in Thursday's preseason finale against the Chiefs. Decker's path to fantasy value after an injury-plagued 2016 season is re-establishing his utility as a red-zone threat, an outcome made more plausible by the fact that he'll be catching passes this year from an ascending QB talent in Marcus Mariota.

Decker (ankle) is being involved in Monday's walkthrough, but the chances of him playing in Thursday's preseason game versus the Chiefs are slim, Terry McCormick of TitansInsider.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Decker has been dealing with an ankle injury lately, but appears to be edging closer to a return with the regular season approaching. That obviously comes as good news to the Titans, even though the veteran may not be able to play in their final preseason outing. Rookie Corey Davis (hamstring) is also on the same plan as Decker, making Tennessee's receiving corps one to monitor in advance of Week 1.

Decker (right ankle) is not in line to play in Sunday's preseason game against the Bears, Jason Wolf of the Tennessean reports.
EDGE Analysis
Decker missed practice Friday, which effectively rules him out for Sunday's tilt, based on previous comments by coach Mike Mularkey. Along with Decker, rookie Corey Davis will miss the contest, meaning that of the Titans' top three wideouts, only Rishard Matthews is slated to be available for Sunday's dress rehearsal. With veteran Harry Douglas also dealing with an injury, the likes of Taywan Taylor and Tajae Sharpe could see added opportunities this weekend.

Decker (ankle) is not practicing Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Decker's outlook in terms of potential availability for Sunday's preseason matchup against the Bears doesn't look promising, having missed practice since twisting his ankle last Wednesday. The injury doesn't appear to be serious, however, so he may appear in next Thursday's preseason finale versus the Chiefs if healthy.

Decker (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Decker's continued absence from practice doesn't bode well for his availability for Sunday's preseason game against the Bears, as the wideout likely only has two more chances to get in contact work before the game. He hasn't practiced since twisting his ankle last Wednesday.

Head coach Mike Mularkey termed Decker (ankle) questionable for next Sunday's preseason game against the Bears, Paul Kuharsky of 104.5 The Zone reports.
EDGE Analysis
Decker is only a few days removed from hurting his ankle in practice, so an upcoming appearance or two in drills would be an indication he'll be available in preseason Week 3. Fellow wide receivers Corey Davis (hamstring) and Tajae Sharpe (foot) are growing healthier as well, but Decker appears to be a bit ahead of the duo in his own recovery. With Davis on course to play in the Titans' fourth exhibition, next Sunday may not be Decker's last chance to continue his integration into a new offense.

Decker (ankle) will not play in Saturday's preseason tilt against the Panthers, Jason Wolf of the Tennesssean reports.
EDGE Analysis
Decker, who twisted his ankle during Wednesday's practice, has been sidelined due to the minor issue as the Titans continue to play it safe with the veteran wide receiver. Tre McBride and Taywan Taylor could be in line for additional reps with the first team on Saturday with Decker out.
