Wednesday Injury Report: Vaccaro Starts Week Off Right

NASHVILLE – Recent weeks have taught the Tennessee Titans that safety Kenny Vaccaro’s availability for a game is not assured until kickoff or shortly before that.

Wednesday, though, Vaccaro was a full participant in the Titans’ workout, according to the NFL’s official injury report. That is a positive sign that he will be available Sunday when Tennessee (10-4) faces Green Bay (11-3) in a matchup of first-place teams.

Vaccaro has missed the last two contests due to an illness that did not become an issue until a day before the Dec. 13 game at Jacksonville. He was ruled out the next day prior to kickoff and practiced on a limited basis only last week before he was held out of the triumph over Detroit.

In November, Vaccaro turned up on the injury report midway through preparations for a game against the Baltimore Ravens with what initially was called a neck injury. After a full practice on Friday, he was ruled out Saturday with what then was determined to be a concussion.

Even with the late lineup changes, the Titans won all three games without Vaccaro. That does not mean they won’t be happy to have him against the Packers, a team that has a top 10 passing offense and leads the NFL with 40 touchdown passes.
