Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver Carnell Tate missed the first game of his NFL career in Week 8, ruled out with a shoulder injury.
Tate, the No. 4 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, had an extra week to recover over the Titans' bye. However, he was unable to take the practice field for any action this week as he continues to deal with the lingering issue.
The Titans officially ruled Tate out for Sunday's Week 10 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

"I was really optimistic going through the bye week. It's just, the shoulder's stuck on him a little bit," head coach Robert Saleh said when speaking to reporters on Friday. "We're hopeful for next week, but I'll have a better answer for you guys come Wednesday."
After a relatively slow start to his NFL career, Tate exploded for 145 yards on nine catches in a Week 4 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. The former Ohio State standout logged his first professional touchdown in a win over the Indianapolis Colts in Week 6.
Through seven games in his first season with the Titans, Tate has 34 catches for 413 yards and one score.

With Tate out again this weekend, Cam Ward and the Tennessee offense will continue to lean on Wan'Dale Robinson, Chimere Dike, Elic Ayomanor and Calvin Ridley as their WR options.
Sunday's game against the Jaguars will kick off at 1 p.m. ET.
