Star wide receiver Julio Jones has had a tough time staying healthy in a Tennessee Titans uniform this season. He suffered yet another hamstring injury in Week 15 against the Pittsburgh Steelers and was forced to exit the game early as a result.

However, Jones isn't listed on the injury report for Thursday's matchup with the San Francisco 49ers, which means he should play.

This is definitely big for the Titans, who will be looking for a bounce-back lead after losing to Pittsburgh. Jones has only featured in eight games in 2021, collecting 25 receptions for an average of 14.8 yards per catch. However, the veteran doesn't have a touchdown.

Tennessee is managing just fine without Julio, but it would be nice for him to stay healthy and contribute at a more consistent level, especially considering Derrick Henry is still sidelined with an injury.

Jones didn't practice much at all this week for the Titans until Wednesday but he evidently feels good enough to suit up. A victory here for Mike Vrabel's squad would keep them atop the AFC South, where they currently sit at 9-5. The 49ers meanwhile can improve to 9-6 if a win is secured on Thursday night.

This should be a very entertaining game.
