The Titans added receiver A.J. Brown to their Thursday practice report. He did not practice with a knee injury.

NFL teams going for two more than ever before
NFL coaches are getting more gutsy about going for two. Two-point conversions are up this year, with 58 attempts through 92 games putting the league on pace to have a total of 161 two-point conversion attempts this season.
