Whyle (knee) participated in OTAs on Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports. Whyle closed last season on injured reserve, but he was back on the field participating in practice as the Titans held offseason workouts. The 2023 fifth-round selection looked bigger and sturdier than last year, according to Wyatt.
Whyle sustained a concussion in Week 6 against the Ravens and wasn't able to return for Week 8 despite the bye. The rookie tight end saw his snap count on offense steadily increase in Weeks 4 and 5 and he'd resume his role as the backup behind Chigoziem Okonkwo if he's able to return for Thursday's game. In six games this season, Whyle has four catches for 44 yards and a touchdown.
Even with the benefit of a Week 7 bye, Whyle will have to sit out at least one game as he recovers from the concussion he sustained in Week 6 against Baltimore. Kevin Rader will likely see increased snaps in Whyle's stead in Week 8.
The 24-year-old tight end out of Cincinnati recorded his second consecutive DNP at Thursday's practice, which increases the likelihood that he'll carry an injury designation into the weekend. Whyle has appeared in six games for the Titans this season, catching all four of his targets for 44 yards and one touchdown.
Whyle suffered a concussion in Week 6 prior to the Titans' bye week, but it looks like he has yet to clear the league's protocol. More clarity on his status for Sunday's game against the Falcons will come as the week progresses.
