With another week of our lives in the books, it’s time to check in on the Tennessee Titans’ AFC South rivals — the Indianapolis Colts, Houston Texans and Jacksonville Jaguars — to see what they’re up to.
We start in Indianapolis, where the Colts don’t have a timetable on linebacker Shaquille Leonard, who missed all but three games during the 2022 campaign and had surgery this offseason to correct a nerve issue.
In Jacksonville, the Jags improved their kicker situation by signing a veteran who unexpectedly became available, while also dealing their now-former kicker. Both would’ve been upgrades for the Titans, by the way.
Last but not least, we travel through Houston, where the Texans are dealing with an injury to a player who could be their top receiver during the 2023 campaign.
We cover those stories and many more in our latest trip around the AFC South to keep up with the Titans’ division rivals.
