Denico Autry News
Tennessee Titans defensive lineman Denico Autry (knee) suffered a knee injury in the Thursday night game against the Green Bay Packers and is questionable to return in the second half. Autry is one of the team's better defensive lineman, so we'll have to see if this injury will keep him out beyond Thursday's game. The 32-year-old entered Week 11 action with seven sacks, 20 tackles (12 solo), six tackles for loss, 15 QB hits and a forced fumble in nine games played. Before leaving Thursday's contest against the Packers, Autry had just one QB hit against Aaron Rodgers.
The Tennessee Titans placed defensive lineman Denico Autry on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday. He will be ineligible to return for Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins until he clears protocols. The 31-year-old has racked up 25 tackles and eight sacks over 15 games in 2021. Tennessee's defense has been stout against the run and ranks second against opposing fantasy backs this year. Autry's potential absence downgrades the Titans defense a little, but it should open a few more lanes for the Dolphins run game. Larrell Murchison should see an uptick in snaps if Autry is ruled out.
The Tennessee Titans signed former Indianapolis Colts defensive tackle Denico Autry to a three-year deal worth $21.5 million on Monday. Autry will receive $9 million guaranteed and $14.25 million over two years. Never a flashy player in his time with the Colts, he generated 20 sacks, including a team-high nine in 2018, in his three seasons in Indy. Autry missed two games while dealing with COVID-19 last season, but his 7.5 sacks were third on the team behind DeForest Buckner (9.5) and Justin Houston (eight). He'll be a nice disruptive inside force to complement Jeffrey Simmons in Tennessee. The Titans had just 19 sacks last year, so they're hoping that Autry can provide a boost in that category after he posted an 11.6 percent pass-rush win rate in 2020. The 30-year-old has 30.5 sacks and 202 tackles in 96 career games over seven seasons.
