The Tennessee Titans are preparing for a game against the Cleveland Browns on Dec. 7, in which some of the biggest injury questions revolve around the Titans' patchwork offense.
The Titans (1-11) visit the Browns (3-9) at Huntington Bank Field on Sunday (noon CT, FOX). Most of the headlines will be about the rookie quarterback battle between Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders, but the supporting cast around Ward will need to be evaluated. Center Lloyd Cushenberry III, left tackle Dan Moore Jr. and receivers Elic Ayomanor and Xavier Restrepo could all be on the injury report this week as the team deals with some late-season injury woes.

Titans interim coach Mike McCoy will address reporters on injury updates on Wednesday and Friday, and the Titans will release daily injury reports on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. The Tennessean also will attend practice and share updates from the media viewing windows as permissible.
Follow along below for the latest injury updates as the Titans prepare for the Browns.
