Vannett (neck) was a full participant in Friday's practice and does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Chargers. Vannett was listed on Thursday's injury report with a neck issue, but it doesn't appear to be a serious issue as he was able to practice in full Friday and should be good to go for Week 10. Vannett has logged 10 catches (on 11 targets) for 78 yards and two touchdowns through eight regular-season games as the Titans' No. 2 tight end behind Chigoziem Okonkwo.

Vannett (neck) was a full participant in Friday's practice and does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Chargers. Vannett was listed on Thursday's injury report with a neck issue, but it doesn't appear to be a serious issue as he was able to practice in full Friday and should be good to go for Week 10. Vannett has logged 10 catches (on 11 targets) for 78 yards and two touchdowns through eight regular-season games as the Titans' No. 2 tight end behind Chigoziem Okonkwo.
Vannett (neck) was listed as a limited practice participant Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports. Vannett played 34 snaps on offense during the Titans' Week 9 overtime win over the Patriots and finished with two catches for 33 yards and one touchdown. While he was able to practice in full Wednesday, he was limited in Thursday's session due to a neck issue, which puts his status in question for Sunday's game against the Chargers. If Vannett is unable to play, Josh Whyle would figure to step into the No. 2 tight end behind starter Chigoziem Okonkwo.
Vannett recorded two catches on two targets for 33 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-17 overtime win against the Patriots. Vannett has maintained around a 40 percent offensive snap rate in recent weeks, though his role is primarily as a blocker. That changed briefly early in Sunday's win, as he leaked off the line of scrimmage on a play-action pass and found the end zone from 10 yards away. It was his second touchdown of the season, though Vannett has also been held without a catch in four of eight contests.
Vannett recorded four receptions on four targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Bills. Vannett saw both his second-highest snap total and rate of the season and got involved as a pass catcher early in the game. His longest gain of the day went for 11 yards, and he managed to record a double-digit yardage total in a game for the second time on the campaign.
Vannett was not targeted in Monday's 31-12 win over the Dolphins. Vannett played a season-high 50 percent of offensive snaps in Week 4 against the Dolphins. However, he was used as a blocking tight end and now has zero targets in half of his four games.
Vannett recorded two catches on two targets for nine yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-14 loss to the Packers. Vannett has played on roughly 25 percent of offensive snaps each game this season, serving primarily as a blocking option. However, he managed a two-yard touchdown catch midway through the first quarter after getting open in the back of the end zone. Vannett may occasionally serve as an option in the red zone or short areas of the field, but his statistical impact is likely to remain minimal overall.
Tennessee signed Vannett to the 53-man roster Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Vannett was cut by the Titans on Wednesday to make room for a waiver claim, but he was expected to return to Tennessee, per Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com. Vannett is part of a crowded tight end room made up of Chigoziem Okonkwo, Josh Whyle (concussion), Thomas Odukoya and David Martin-Robinson.
Vannett was cut by the Titans on Wednesday, Sam Phalen of AtoZSports.com reports. Vannett was cut to make room for a waiver claim, though he is expected to rejoin the team at a later date, Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports. The Titans already have four tight ends on the roster, so it's unclear how he'll fit on the roster throughout the season.
The Titans signed Vannett on Monday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports. The veteran tight end has spent time with six different teams across his eight-year career, and he's now headed to Nashville after agreeing to terms with the Titans. Vannett most recently played with the Chargers, tallying 125 offensive snaps across eight games and recording one reception for three yards in 2023. Expect the 31-year-old to compete for a depth role in Tennessee's tight end room as the offseason progresses.
