Titans' Chig Okonkwo: Limited snaps to close season
Okonkwo was not targeted in Sunday's 23-14 loss to the Texans.
Okonkwo popped up on the injury report Thursday with an abdominal injury and didn't practice at all Friday. While he ended up being active in Week 18, he played only three offensive snaps. Even with the sour finish to the campaign, Okonkwo emerged late in the season by accruing 28 receptions for 217 yards on 38 targets over the prior five games. With improved quarterback play in 2025, Okonkwo could be in line for better results.

Titans' Chig Okonkwo: Suiting up for finale
Okonkwo is active for Sunday's game against the Texans.
Okonkwo popped up on the injury report in the middle of the week, and there was some concern about his status after he failed to practice Friday. However, he'll be set to suit up and has seen increased involvement in the Tennessee offense to close the season, commanding a combined 28 targets across his last three games. With Tyler Boyd (foot) sidelined, Okonkwo should have a better chance of maintaining his elevated role.

Titans' Chig Okonkwo: Questionable after Friday 'DNP'
Okonkwo (abdomen) is listed as questionable for Sunday's season finale against the Texans after not practicing Friday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Okonkwo was added to the Titans' Week 18 injury report after logging a limited practice Thursday, and in the wake of being deemed a non-participant Friday, he'll head into the weekend with his status up in the air. If Okonkwo is limited at all or ruled out for the team's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, Nick Vannett, Josh Whyle and David Martin-Robinson would be in line to handle added tight end reps Week 18.

Titans' Chig Okonkwo: Limited in Thursday's practice
Okonkwo was a limited participant in Thursday's practice due to an abdominal injury.
Tennessee didn't include Okonkwo on its initial Week 18 injury report, so his abdominal injury may have been something that cropped up late in Wednesday's practice or during Thursday's session. The Titans will wait and see what Okonkwo is able to do in their final practice of the week Friday before deciding whether he carries a designation into Sunday's season finale versus the Texans. Though his third NFL season has been a relatively quiet one, Okonkwo has picked up the pace over the last three games, producing a 22-182-0 line on 28 targets while also adding 17 yards on a rushing attempt.

Titans' Chig Okonkwo: Remains heavily involved
Okonkwo recorded five receptions on seven targets for 42 yards in Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Jaguars. He added one rush for 17 yards.
Okonkwo maintained his elevated role in the Tennessee offense and led the team in targets for a third straight game. His longest catch went for 18 yards, but he was otherwise limited to short areas of the field to record his lowest yardage total in that same three-game span. Okonkwo's spike in involvement comes as a surprise given his usage throughout most of his career, but he figures to remain involved in a Week 18 matchup against the Texans.

Titans' Chigoziem Okonkwo: Season-best numbers in loss
Okonkwo secured nine of 11 targets for 81 yards in the Titans' 38-30 loss to the Colts on Sunday. He also caught a pass on a two-point conversion.
The talented tight end had already recorded six catches in Week 15 against the Bengals after Mason Rudolph entered that game for an ineffective Will Levis, so Sunday's team-high reception, receiving yardage and target totals weren't completely surprising. However, Okonkwo's numbers were still a significant boon for fantasy managers that might have been rolling with him in their playoff matchups with the hopes of an encore performance, and the third-year pro is clearly a viable tight end option as long as Rudolph is under center.

Titans' Chigoziem Okonkwo: Surprising spike in involvement
Okonkwo recorded eight catches (on 10 targets) for 59 yards in Sunday's 37-27 loss to the Bengals.
Okonkwo was on the field for only 60 percent of offensive snaps, but he was peppered with targets by both Will Levis and Mason Rudolph. As a result, Okonkwo saw a career-best 10 targets and managed to reach 50 receiving yards for the third time this season. Though this was an outlier performance, he's earned at least four targets in three straight games and in seven of his last nine contests.

He caught a 10-yard pass early in the second quarter but otherwise didn't make much of an impact on the game. Okonkwo now has 20 or fewer receiving yards in nine of 13 games on the campaign.

Okonkwo recorded two receptions (on four targets) for 19 yards in Sunday's 23-13 loss to the Vikings.

Titans' Chigoziem Okonkwo: Remains involved
Okonkwo recorded three catches (on four targets) for 38 yards in Sunday's 20-17 overtime win against the Patriots.
Okonkwo was on the field for a season-high 74 percent of offensive snaps, and he translated that into a relatively productive performance. He accounted for most of his yardage on a 21-yard gain late in the third quarter, which came off of a double reverse flea-flicker. Okonkwo also dropped a pass in the end zone that resulted in a pick, but his involvement in the offense still has ticked up with Mason Rudolph under center, as he's commanded at least four targets in all three of his starts.

Okonkwo recorded two receptions (on five targets) for 14 yards while losing a fumble in Sunday's 52-14 loss to the Lions.
Okonkwo logged season-high marks in both snap rate and targets. Unfortunately, that didn't translate to much production, as his only positive yardage came in the final minute of the blowout loss. To make matters worse, Okonkwo had several miscues, highlighted by a lost fumble, an offensive pass interference penalty and an interception on one of his targets.

Titans' Chigoziem Okonkwo: Leads way in receiving yards
Okonkwo recorded four receptions (on four targets) for 50 yards in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Bills.
Okonkwo has been on the field for at least 55 percent of offensive snaps in four of six games this season, and he had his best game of the season in Sunday's loss while displaying a rapport with Mason Rudolph. He accounted for the team's longest play from scrimmage with a 26-yard catch late in the first quarter that served as the majority of his production. If Rudolph remains under center Week 8 against the Lions, Okonkwo could benefit again, though he had yet to top 16 yards in a game entering Sunday's contest.

Titans' Chigoziem Okonkwo: Out-produced by Whyle
Okonkwo recorded two catches (on two targets) for 15 yards in Sunday's 30-14 loss to the Packers.
Okonkwo narrowly remained Tennessee's primary tight end by snap count. However, he was out-targeted, 5-2, by Josh Whyle and now has failed to top 16 receiving yards in any of his three games this season. Okonkwo isn't likely to entirely lose his role, but it wouldn't be surprising to see Whyle continue to be the more productive pass catcher moving forward.
