- OL Wesley French
- WR Dezmon Patmon
- OT Luke Tenuta
- DT Chris Williams
Leonard had a procedure on his back in June, which he's been rehabbing from. He's been a full participant in practice for weeks, and is now in good enough football shape to take the field once again.
DeForest Buckner (elbow) and Bernhard Raimann (ankle) were both also listed as questionable with injuries but are active. Blackmon (ankle) was ruled out on Friday.

Amadi (ankle), Cunningham (elbow), and Hooker (concussion) all entered the game having already been ruled out. Adeniyi (neck), wide receiver Cody Hollister (back), cornerback Roger McCreary (back), and wide receiver Kyle Phillips (shoulder) were all questionable.
Cunningham and Hooker are significant absences for the Titans defense, as both are important starters in the back seven.
