The Tennessee Titans have been one of the hottest teams in the last four weeks. However, they took a detrimental blow after losing Derrick Henry for 6-8 weeks. The team needs all the help they can get as they go up against the Los Angeles Rams, and may have the firepower needed with Julio Jones' return.
According to NBC Sports, the Titans did not place Julio Jones on the injury report for Friday's practice. This is excellent news for Tennessee, as they need all the help they can get for their game against the Rams. After losing Derrick Henry, the Titans must rely on their passing game until his return.

Julio Jones has been struggling to stay healthy since joining the Titans this offseason. It's been a much slower process than fans had hoped for, as Jones hasn't quite connected with quarterback Ryan Tannehill either. Even so, a healthy Julio is exactly what Tennessee needs to match up against Los Angeles.
The team will look to lean on AJ Brown for the most part, but he pulls in a tough matchup against Jalen Ramsey. The Rams have one of the best defenses in the league, especially after trading for superstar pass rusher Von Miller. Jones' presence on the field is needed, as he will force LA to respect the Titans passing game a bit more.
Tennessee enters this game as the underdog. The loss of Derrick Henry has many believing the Titans are dead in the water. However, Henry has been contained in the Titans' last two matchups, as Tennessee has relied more on the passing game recently.
The Titans have a few other injury concerns on the roster, but for the most part, this offense will be looking to shock the world on Sunday Night Football. We'll see how it plays out, as this team tends to play at its best when everyone doubts them.
