Titans' pass-rusher Denico Autry was ruled questionable to return after he went down with a left knee injury in the third quarter.
According to the Pro Football Docs, Autry's injury mechanism is consistent with a mild-to-moderate MCL sprain and he is unlikely to return tonight.
The play before, Teair Tart went down on the field needing attention for an ankle injury. Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was smiling after and indicated he thought Tart went down for a free injury timeout.
Tart returned to the game with his left ankle taped.
The 32-year-old Autry is in his second season of a three-year contract with the Titans and he has 20 tackles and a team-leading seven sacks in 10 games.
Shortly after Autry left the game, No. 2 cornerback Kristian Fulton was deemed questionable with a hamstring injury.
With Caleb Farley already out with a herniated disk, the Titans secondary is left extremely thin.
