In short

Joshua Williams is a starter at right cornerback for TEN — 100% of the snaps in his best week of 1. He has a pectoral injury. His team has listed him Questionable. We called him PLAY in week 5 and he did not play.

The reader dissents · grade B

The club itself, not an aggregator, announced on Oct. 17 that Williams was activated from Injured Reserve and that 'the move makes Williams eligible to play in Sunday's game against the Colts' (P1), which directly removes the reserve-list premise behind the SIT call. The same transaction waived DB Erick Hallett (P1), i.e. the team cleared a defensive-back spot rather than stockpiling cover, which is not the behaviour of a club expecting him down. The Titans' own report for this Week 6 game lists him Full practice / QUESTIONABLE while explicitly ruling OUT Winston and Elliott (P2) — he is in play, not out. It would need to know: The Sunday Oct. 18 inactives list at Indianapolis — whether a healthy-scratch decision keeps the third-string CB down; The final Oct. 16/17 Titans game-status report to confirm Williams remained Questionable rather than being downgraded; Whether CBs Cor'Dale Flott and Marcus Harris are active, since Williams' snaps depend on the room ahead of him

His team's word: Questionable

This is the TEAM'S OWN ANNOUNCEMENT, not a reading of ours. His team filed him on the injury report and we are restating it so the record is complete. There is nothing early about repeating an announcement — what we say ahead of one is on the week's page. Source: his team's reserve list (injured reserve, PUP, NFI, suspended).

No dated practice report for him this week

The team has not published one we can date, or the window has not reached it. Not the same as his having practiced.
