Reich said he's "optimistic" that Taylor will return from a two-game absence. He added that Taylor will handle his normal workload if healthy, with Nyheim Hines and Deon Jackson serving as "complementary pieces." Hines has cleared the concussion protocol and is also expected to return after sitting out two games.

Taylor is the RB3 in numberFire's Week 7 rankings and our models project him for 23.3 touches on Sunday. The Titans are allowing the eighth-fewest FanDuel points per game to running backs this season and they have the No. 10 run defense in our adjusted team rankings.
