Jefferson (forearm) is signing with the Commanders, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jefferson finished the 2025 regular season with the Titans on injured reserve due to a forearm injury, but he looks to have recovered. Prior to that injury, the six-year NFL veteran recorded 350 receiving yards in 16 games. Jefferson had 802 regular-season receiving yards back in 2021 with the Rams but hasn't topped 369 in any of his other five campaigns, which suggests he's likely ticketed for a depth role in Washington.

The Titans placed Jefferson (forearm) on injured reserve Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jefferson was already ruled out for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Jaguars, and his placement on injured reserve is a procedural move to open space on the Titans' 53-man roster for the return of Bryce Oliver (knee) from IR. Jefferson will end the 2025 season with 29 catches (on 52 targets) for 350 yards and one touchdown across 16 games. The sixth-year wideout will enter the offseason as a free agent.

Interim coach Mike McCoy said after Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Saints that Jefferson is done for the season due to the forearm injury he sustained in the contest, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jefferson won't play in the Titans' season-finale against the Jaguars next weekend and could land on IR in order to free up a roster spot for the team. In his looming absence, Mason Kinsey and/or James Proche figure to handle added WR snaps behind Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike.

Jefferson recorded two catches on two targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 26-9 win over the Chiefs.
EDGE Analysis
Jefferson was questionable entering Sunday's game due to a back injury, but he played his typical allotment of around 70 percent of offensive snaps. He played a complementary role as a pass catcher, though he has had multiple receptions in four of his last six contests.

Jefferson (back) is active for Sunday's game against Kansas City.
EDGE Analysis
Jefferson suffered a back injury in Sunday's loss to the 49ers and was unable to return. However, he was able to log a full practice by the end of the week and was expected to suit up. Jefferson will likely be on the field plenty for the Titans, though he's managed to reach 30 receiving yards only three times this season.

Jefferson (back) is trending toward being cleared to play Sunday against the Chiefs, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jefferson sustained a back injury during the Titans' Week 15 loss to the 49ers. The sixth-year wideout posted a DNP-LP-FP practice log during Week 16 prep, and while he's listed as questionable for Sunday's game, Jefferson is trending in the right direction. Over his last nine games, Jefferson has caught 20 passes (on 43 targets) for 256 yards and one touchdown.

Jefferson (back) practiced fully Friday but is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jefferson trended in the right direction throughout the week, going from a non-participant Wednesday to limited Thursday before Friday's full session. The veteran wide receiver's status likely won't be confirmed until 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. Jefferson has 24 catches for 280 yards and a touchdown in 14 appearances this season, averaging exactly 20 receiving yards per game.

Jefferson (back) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Jefferson progressed to limited participation Thursday after sitting out Wednesday's practice session. The veteran wide receiver got hurt during Tennessee's loss to the 49ers this past Sunday. If Jefferson suits up Sunday against the Chiefs, he would likely continue to work as the third wide receiver behind rookie fourth-round picks Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike.

Jefferson (back) didn't practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jefferson exited Sunday's 37-24 loss to the 49ers with a back injury after logging 31snaps, and the wideout will now has two more chances to practice in advance of this weekend's contest against the Chiefs. If Jefferson -- who has caught 24 passes for 280 yards and a TD in 14 contests to date -- is unavailable in Week 16, added snaps behind Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike would be available for James Proche and Mason Kinsey.
