Waived by Tennessee
The Titans waived Watson (back) on Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports. Watson had served as the team's starting right tackle for four games before getting injured and then getting replaced by Nicholas Petit-Frere. Watson will look to get healthy and then find a new opportunity elsewhere.
Won't play Sunday vs. Jacksonville
Watson (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars. Despite logging consecutive full practices to end the week, Watson has not progressed in his recovery from his back injury enough to play Sunday. It'll be his fourth straight game for which he'll be sidelined, and his next opportunity to play will be Week 15 against the Bengals. Nicholas Petit-Frere will continue to start at right tackle due to Watson's injury.
Questionable for Sunday
Watson (back) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's mathcup against the Jaguars, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports. Despite back-to-back full practice sessions, there's a chance Watson is sidelined for the fourth consecutive game in Week 14 due to a back injury. If he's unable to play through the issue, Nicholas Petit-Frere will likely serve as Tennessee's top right tackle Sunday.
Past back injury
Watson (back) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports. Watson was sidelined for the Titans' last three games due to a back injury, but he appears to be on track to start at right tackle against the Jaguars on Sunday. If Watson does reclaim his starting spot, then Nicholas Petit-Frere would retreat to a reserve role on the Titans' offensive line.
Won't play vs. Washington
Watson (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports. Watson was a DNP in practice all week, and as a result he will miss a third straight game due to a back injury. His next chance to play will be Week 14 against the Jaguars on Sunday, Dec. 8. Nicholas Petit-Frere will likely start at right tackle Sunday due to Watson's injury.
Misses practice Wednesday
Watson (back) did not participate in the Titans' practice Wednesday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports. Watson opened the week on the sidelines at practice due to the back injury that has sidelined him for the last two weeks. He'll likely need to return to practice in some capacity this week in order to play Sunday versus the Commanders.
Officially ruled out for Week 12
Watson (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports. Watson will miss a second straight game due to a back injury that prevented him from practicing all week. He'll look to get back on the practice field ahead of the Titans' Week 13 clash against the Commanders on Sunday, Dec. 1. Nicholas Petit-Frere started at right tackle in Week 11 against the Vikings and will likely do so again for Week 12 in Watson's absence.
Likely to remain out
Head coach Brian Callahan stated Wednesday that Watson (back) is unlikely to return this week, John Glennon of NashvillePost.com reports. Watson wasn't able to play in Week 11, so this would be a second consecutive absence for the 26-year-old. If he's unable to suit up against the Texans on Sunday, John Ojukwu would likely draw the start at right tackle.
Sidelined in Week 11
Watson (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Vikings, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports. Watson likely sustained a back injury in the Titans' Week 10 loss to the Chargers, as he was unable to practice all week and is now in line to miss Sunday's matchup. John Ojukwu is expected to serve as Tennessee's top right tackle while Watson is sidelined in Week 11.
