The inactive players for the Tennessee Titans and Chicago Bears have officially been revealed ahead of their season opener on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET at Soldier Field.
Among the inactive players for the Titans is safety Jamal Adams, who has been dealing with a hip injury and was ruled out earlier in the week. Adams was unable to practice throughout the week due to the injury.
For the Bears, receiver Tyler Scott and running back Roschon Johnson were both healthy scratches. Defensive end Montez Sweat and receiver Keenan Allen were both on the injury report but will play for Chicago.
Here is the list of inactive players for both teams.
Titans:
S Jamal Adams
LB Otis Reese IV
OL John Ojukwu
TE David Martin-Robinson
TE Thomas Odukoya
LB Ali Gaye
Bears:
WR Tyler Scott
LB Noah Sewell
OL Kiran Amegadjie
DL Zacch Pickens
RB Roschon Johnson
OL Bill Murray
DL Dominique Robinson
The matchup between the Titans and Bears is one of the more under-the-radar and intriguing matchups in Week 1. For Tennessee, it is the first game with Bill Callahan as head coach and quarterback Will Levis enters the second season of his NFL career with a chance to cement himself as the franchise quarterback. Levis threw for 1,808 yards, eight touchdowns and four interceptions in nine starts as a rookie in 2023.
Tennessee also made a pair of big additions in the offseason, signing receiver Calvin Ridley to a four-year deal in free agency and acquiring cornerback L’Jarius Sneed via trade from the Kansas City Chiefs.
Chicago enters this season with much higher expectations than in recent years. Along with a strong finish to last season, the Bears added quarterback Caleb Williams with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. He’ll make his NFL debut alongside Rome Odunze, who the Bears took with the No. 9 overall pick.

Social media was on fire after No. 14 Tennessee’s win over No. 24 NC State on Saturday night in Charlotte.
While the reaction to the Vols’ first game mainly revolved around Nico Iamaleava’s record-setting first-half showing, the buzz on Saturday night was all about Tennessee being a complete, well-balanced unit.
The Vols’ defense held NC State to just 143 total yards, 104 through the air and 39 on the ground. NC State quarterback Grayson McCall was never able to get comfortable throughout the contest while running back Hollywood Smothers was wrapped up in the backfield all night. Tennessee was just too much for NC State to handle on this night and they never let the Wolfpack mark their territory.

Tennessee is legit scary because that defense has real juice and it’s simply of matter of when Nico goes BOOM.
When 2-2 happen in the same game, the Vols will be very tough to beat.

Even though that TD didn’t count, that is the difference in Nico and why this Vols offense has a chance to be SPECIAL
— J.D. PicKell (@jdpickell) September 8, 2024
Difference between these teams: Bishop sprints the length of the field to try and prevent a pick-6. NC State defenders gave up when Sampson crossed the 15. Culture matters, and Tennessee worked a lot on it in the offseason.

College football Week 2 scores, games: Colorado vs. Nebraska, Tennessee vs. NC State and more
The first top-10 matchup of the season was a lopsided blowout, but we got our first major upset of the season Saturday.
No. 5 Notre Dame was stunned at home by Northern Illinois, 16-14. The Huskies drove down for a 35-yard field goal by Kanon Woodill with just over 30 seconds left in the game and then blocked the Irish’s own attempt to win it as time expired.
In the marquee showdown Saturday, No. 3 Texas left no doubt as to which team is the contender against No. 10 Michigan, blowing out the Wolverines 31-12 at the Big House.
Elsewhere, Kansas State survived against Tulane after a controversial finish and Oklahoma State rallied back to beat Arkansas in double overtime.
Below are the best games left. Scroll down to follow all the action live.
Time: 7:30 p.m. ET | TV: NBC | Line: Nebraska -6.5 | Total: 55.5
The Huskers showed serious signs of life in Week 1 as true freshman QB Dylan Raiola had a fantastic college debut. Colorado had a hard time putting away North Dakota State, but got standout performances from two-way star Travis Hunter and quarterback Shedeur Sanders.
The crowd in Lincoln will surely be raucous and the game should be a high-flying affair.
Time: 7:30 p.m. ET | TV: ABC | Line: Tennessee -9.5 | Total: 60.5
Both teams got wins over FCS opponents in Week 1 but they were drastically different. NC State struggled mightily against Western Carolina. Tennessee blitzed Chattanooga and quickly made it clear the Mocs had no chance.
Given Tennessee’s passing attack, NC State’s chances hinge on its defense playing much better than it did in Week 1.
Time: 10 p.m. ET | TV: Peacock | Line: Oregon -19.5 | Total: 61.5
Both teams had more trouble than expected against their opponents in Week 1. Boise State needed a 21-point run to put Georgia Southern away and Oregon eked out a 24-14 win over Idaho.
Ashton Jeanty went off for 267 yards and six touchdowns in the Broncos’ opener, and he’ll surely be the focus for Oregon’s defense. New Oregon QB Dillon Gabriel was 41-of-49 passing in Week 1 but averaged just 7.6 yards an attempt.

The No. 6 Ole Miss Rebels are looking to remain perfect on the young season as they play host to the Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders on Saturday afternoon at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.
Ole Miss is fresh off a 76-0 thrashing of the FCS Furman Paladins last week, and Middle Tennessee also took down an FCS foe, albeit less-convincingly. MTSU defeated Tennessee Tech last week 32-25, and the Blue Raiders were outgained in total offense in the process.
Rebels head coach Lane Kiffin stated on Thursday that wide receiver Jordan Watkins could “potentially” play on Saturday after missing last week’s game with a hamstring injury. We will keep you updated on Watkins’ status below.
Follow along for live updates from Vaught-Hemingway Stadium as Ole Miss looks to improve to 2-0 on the year.
This story will be updated throughout the game on Saturday.
PREGAME
As announced earlier this week, Ole Miss is going with a classic uniform combination on Saturday against Middle Tennessee, opting to wear powder blue helmets, red jerseys and gray pants. The Rebels shared a photo of defensive back Trey Amos’ uniform set on Saturday morning that you can view below.
