Titans (6-3) at Packers (4-6)
Thursday, 5:15 p.m. (Amazon Prime)
■ Line: Packers -3½; total 41
■ Titans player to watch: QB Ryan Tannehill. With defenses focused on stopping RB Derrick Henry, Tannehill has to make them pay. He rebounded in Week 10 after missing two games with a sprained right ankle to throw for 255 yards and two TDS in Tennessee’s 17-10 win over Denver. He has eight TD passes with three interceptions this season. The Titans’ patchwork offensive line allowed him to be sacked only once against the Broncos.
■ Packers player to watch: WR Christian Watson. The second-round draft pick from North Dakota State was struggling with injuries and inconsistency for much of his rookie season before catching four passes for 107 yards and three TDS in Green Bay’s 31-28 OT win over Dallas in Week 10.
His continued emergence would give QB Aaron Rodgers the downfield threat he has lacked for most of the season.
■ Key matchup: Henry vs. Packers run defense. Henry is coming off his secondworst game of the season after Denver held him to 53 yards on 19 carries, snapping his streak of five straight 100-yard rushing performances that had pushed him to the top of the NFL in rushing. He has a chance to bounce back against a Green Bay defense that has allowed 4.8 yards per carry.
■ Injuries: Titans C Ben Jones is out after not clearing concussion protocol, along with
K Randy Bullock (right calf). … DT Jeffery Simmons, a 2021 Pro Bowler, is among 11 Titans from the defense on the injury report, with OLB Bud Dupree (hip) and S Amani Hooker (shoulder) ruled out. Simmons didn’t play in Week 10 because of an ankle injury. … The Packers will play a second straight game without OLB Rashan Gary (knee), CB Eric Stokes (ankle/knee) and WR Romeo Doubs (ankle). … LB De’vondre Campbell (knee) will miss a third straight game. … OT David Bakhtiari (knee) and G Elgton Jenkins (knee) are questionable.
