Matthews caught six of eight targets for 95 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 25-23 loss to the 49ers.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews led the team in catches and yardage on the day, giving his team its first lead with an eight-yard touchdown reception in the fourth quarter. He averaged a healthy 15.8 yards per catch as he posted his second-best receiving output of the season. Matthews enjoyed a career year in 2016, and while he's failed to measure up to that production on the present campaign, he still has the opportunity to differentiate himself from a lackluster group of pass catchers with his team in contention. He'll look to build on this effort next week against the Rams.

Matthews (hamstring) caught three of five targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 12-7 loss to Arizona.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews was operating at less than 100 percent, and ended up tying Eric Decker for third on the team in targets behind Delanie Walker (nine) and Corey Davis (six). With quarterback Marcus Mariota (knee) also laboring, Tennessee's passing game will be difficult to trust next week in San Francisco.

Matthews (hamstring) will play in Sunday's game in Arizona, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews was a limited practice participant Wednesday and a full participant Thursday, putting him on track to end his streak of absences at two games. He'll return to a likely matchup with Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson, who often shadows the top wideout on the opposing team. With Corey Davis yet to reach 50 yards in five games since returning from his own hammy injury, the Cardinals presumably will deploy Peterson against Matthews.

Matthews (hamstring) was a full participant in the Titans' practice Thursday, Jason Wolf of The Tennessean reports.

EDGE Analysis

The hamstring injury rendered Matthews a game-day decision for both of the past two weeks, with the Titans' top wideout ultimately getting ruled out of both contests after his mobility was limited in pregame workouts. It looks as though Matthews will spare fantasy owners the suspense for Sunday's matchup with the Cardinals, as his full practice Thursday will likely allow him to avoid an injury designation in Week 14. That being said, Matthews is expected to be shadowed by Cardinals All-Pro cornerback Patrick Peterson for most of the day Sunday, which may prompt quarterback Marcus Mariota to target other options in the passing attack more frequently than he otherwise might.

Matthews (hamstring) confirmed after Wednesday's practice that he expects to return for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews apparently came close to playing in Sunday's 24-13 win over the Texans, but he was held out in a game-time decision after managing just one limited practice (on Friday) leading up to the game. Titans head coach Mike Mularkey has already expressed confidence about a Week 14 return, with Matthews backing it up Wednesday by getting in another limited practice. A return to full participation by the end of the week would give owners a bit more confidence as Matthews prepares for a potential shadow situation against Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson. It's obviously a sub-optimal spot, even if it turns out that the wideout's hamstring is no longer a real concern.

Matthews (hamstring) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews returned to a limited practice Friday but ultimately was ruled out for Sunday's eventual 24-13 win over Houston. Titans head coach Mike Mularkey said Monday that Matthews was almost able to play in the game, also suggesting that the wideout should be back for Sunday's contest in Arizona. A full practice before the end of the week would instill more confidence as Matthews prepares for a potential head-to-head matchups with Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson.

Titans head coach Mike Mularkey said Matthews (hamstring) was almost able to play in Sunday's 24-13 win over Houston, but the team decided to play it safe with an eye on Week 14 against the Cardinals, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews returned to a limited practice Friday and was listed as questionable, ultimately getting ruled out in the hours leading up to Sunday's victory. The Titans may have figured they could get by without him against a sinking Houston team, whereas a road game against the Cardinals looks quite a bit tricker on paper. It looks particularly difficult for Matthews, who likely will have to deal with Patrick Peterson for much of the afternoon, assuming the wideout is able to return. Mularkey's comments Monday suggest Matthews is already on the right track.

Matthews (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Texans, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

For the second consecutive week, the Titans labeled Matthews a game-day decision heading into Sunday, but the wideout was once again unable to shown enough mobility during warmups for the team to clear to play. With Matthews out of commission, Corey Davis, Eric Decker and Taywan Taylor are expected to serve as the Titans' starting wideouts this week, with Davis representing the top candidate to lead the team in targets.

Matthews (hamstring, questionable) was limited at practice Friday and will be a game-time decision for Sunday's game against the Texans, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Those considering Matthews in Week 13 lineups will learn of his status in advance of the first wave of games Sunday, with the Titans kicking off at 1:00 ET. If he's out, or limited Sunday, Corey Davis and Eric Decker would be in line to head the team's wideout corps, with Taywan Taylor and Harry Douglas also in the mix.

Matthews (hamstring) was working out on his own off to the side during Thursday's practice, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

For the second straight day to begin Week 13 preparations, it appears Matthews will go down as a non-participant in practice, clouding his status for Sunday's game against the Texans. Matthews was at least able to test out his hamstring with solo jogging and running, inviting some optimism that he might be able to practice Friday in some capacity.
