Tennessee Titans without Julio Jones; AJ Brown set to play against the Jacksonville Jaguars

NASHVILLE, Tennessee – The Tennessee Titans will be without wide receiver Julio Jones on Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to coach Mike Vrabel.

Jones suffered a hamstring injury in Tennessee’s Week 3 win over the Indianapolis Colts and missed two straight weeks of training. For the season, Jones has 12 receptions for 204 yards.

Nick Westbrook-Ikhine is expected to start in place of Jones.

Vrabel also said wide receiver AJ Brown is set to play on Sunday after being a full participant in practice all week.

“AJ has worked hard and progressed to the point where, based on what he did today, we can expect him to play on Sunday,” Vrabel said after practice on Friday.

Brown suffered a hamstring injury and was taken out in the first quarter of the Titans’ Week 3 win over the Indianapolis Colts. Brown did not train last week and was ruled against the New York Jets. Brown has caught seven passes for 92 yards and one touchdown this season.

Titans punter Brett Kern was also ruled out this week by Vrabel. Offensive guard Rodger Saffold and outside linebacker Sharif Finch both cleared the concussion protocol.
