Before the Tennessee Titans took to the field for practice on Wednesday, head coach Robert Saleh met with the media to discuss a range of topics, including injury updates. Although the news was somewhat vague, there were a few positive notes that should excite fans.
JC Latham will return this week after leaving the matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals with a finger injury; this is a huge boost heading into the matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars. With Peter Skoronski battling a hamstring injury, Tennessee cannot afford to be down two starting offensive linemen.
Also along the offensive line, Saleh reports that starting right guard Fernando Carmona could return to practice next week, opening a window for his activation from injured reserve. Carmona has been out since injuring his ankle against the New York Giants in Week 3 and is working his way back. Atonio Mafi has played well in his absence, but getting Carmona back could be important for his development.

Not all of the news was positive, though. Saleh said Skoronski, Tyjae Spears, Anthony Hill Jr., Cody Barton, and Carnell Tate are still dealing with injuries and will not practice, although the severity of those injuries was not discussed outside of Barton being in concussion protocol.
