Tennessee Titans running back Josh Whyle (knee) was taken to the locker room and has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts.

Tennessee Titans running back Josh Whyle (right leg) was taken to the locker room during the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts. At the time of his departure, the 24-year-old had caught one of two targets for a gain of 16 yards through the air. For the time being, Kevin Rader will operate as Tennessee's No. 2 tight end behind Chigoziem Okonkwo.
Tennessee Titans tight end Josh Whyle (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens, according to Ramon Foster of the Titans Radio Network. The 24-year-old caught one pass for 11 yards before departing. He had emerged as the clear backup to Chigoziem Okonkwo. Until Whyle can return, his role that will likely belong to Trevon Wesco.
The Tennessee Titans chose Cincinnati tight end Josh Whyle with the 147th overall pick in the NFL Draft. Whyle received All-AAC Honorable Mention distinction in 2021 when he logged 332 receiving yards and six touchdowns. He earned similar production in 2022, gathering 32 catches for 326 yards that season. The 23-year-old stands out at a towering 6-foot-7 and also features good speed for his size, registering a 4.69-second 40-yard dash time at the combine. Despite his immense frame, Whyle could struggle for fantasy value early on and looks to be more viable in dynasty settings. He could have his work cut out in taking snaps away from Chigoziem Okonkwo, who was first among qualifying tight ends in yards per route run (3.26) and yards per catch (14.1) for the run-heavy Titans last season.
