Titans missing four at practice; Andre James in boot and on crutches
Keldric Faulk, Dorian Mausi, Kalel Mullings and center Andre James did not practice Tuesday, with James dealing with a left foot issue that required a boot and crutches after Sunday's game
The Tennessee Titans opened their week with four absences at practice, and one of them comes with real concern attached. Center Andre James was not working Tuesday after leaving Sunday night's game with a left foot issue serious enough that he was spotted in a boot and on crutches, per Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.

James' situation stands apart from the other three because of the visual — a boot and crutches two days after game action usually signals more than routine soreness, and his availability for cutdown weekend is now an open question. The rest of the list mixes a rookie edge rusher in Keldric Faulk, linebacker Dorian Mausi and running back Kalel Mullings, none of whom had a specific diagnosis attached in Tuesday's report.
Faulk's development matters given the Titans' need for young pass-rush help, so any stretch of missed reps is worth tracking even without an announced injury. With final cuts due Sunday and the preseason finale looming, every day a bubble player spends off the field narrows the evaluation window Tennessee has left.
