After being fully immersed on the practice field at Saint Thomas Sports Park each day this week, Titans cornerback Adoree’ Jackson said on Thursday that he’s good to go for this weekend’s game against the Patriots (12-4).

The Titans (9-7), who head to Foxborough for Saturday’s wild-card game (7:15 p.m., CBS), had been without Jackson since the third-year corner injured his foot in Week 13 against the Colts. He did not carry an injury designation on the week's final injury report released Friday.

Jackson practiced some ahead of the team’s Week 16 game against the Saints, and coach Mike Vrabel said at the time that his cornerback could be poised for a third-down role against New Orleans. But Jackson didn’t suit up and then didn’t practiced at all in the lead-up to the team’s Week 17 game in Houston.

This week, he was listed as a full participant at practice all three days.

“Being down and out sucks but when you tell your God your plan, he’ll laugh at you, because he has something better for you,” Jackson said Friday. “I just had to wait. I’m thankful that now is the time that I’m able to come back.”

Jackson’s stint on the sidelines compounded the absence of Malcolm Butler, whom the team placed on injured reserve in November. Down two key corners, the Titans turned to a couple of makeshift options -- Tye Smith, who was waived and then re-signed by the Titans in early November, and Tramaine Brock, whom the Titans claimed off waivers in early December -- to pair alongside Logan Ryan atop the depth chart.

“I think that the Tramaine situation is always unique,” Vrabel said last week. “I mean, you get a guy from another team that’s used to doing things a certain way. Maybe they play a coverage a certain way, and now you’ve got to get them going on your scheme, what you believe and how you coach. I think he’s done that. I think he’s tried to do that. Again, there’s been some really good plays – some plays that can help us win. Then, like everybody else, there’s plays that we have to continue to coach. Tye is continuing to work, and then trying to take advantage of the opportunities, and hopefully he can do that on Sunday.”

Still, without Jackson, the Titans defense, hampered by the injury-ridden secondary, struggled in recent weeks. Jackson ranked 10th among 87 qualifying cornerbacks this season in yards allowed per coverage snap, according to Pro Football Focus.

"I think he was actually playing better before the injury," Titans defensive coordinator said Wednesday. "I hope he comes back at that level if and when we get him back."

Jackson, who played in 11 regular season games, allowed only 28.3 receiving yards per game this season, the best mark of his young career. Part of that was due to teams throwing in his direction less; receivers he was covering garnered only 4.2 targets per game, down from 6.6 in 2018 and 7.5 in 2019, per PFF.

“I think I was just having fun," Jackson said. "I felt like as a team, collectively, we all were playing well.”

Adam Humphries ruled out again

Elsewhere on the injury report released Thursday, Adam Humphries was ruled out for Saturday's game with an ankle injury. The wide receiver also hasn't played since the team's Week 13 game against the Colts.

Wide receiver Kalif Raymond (concussion), wide receiver Cody Hollister and safety Dane Cruikshank (illness) all are listed as questionable.
