As the Tennessee Titans prepare to host the Jacksonville Jaguars this Sunday, many fans are wondering whether wide receiver Elic Ayomanor will return to the field. Let’s take a quick look at his status ahead of the Week 13 matchup.
Will Elic Ayomanor Play Against the Jaguars?
Ayomanor, who is currently on the Titans’ injury list with a hamstring issue, seems to be making steady progress. He missed the Week 12 game against the Seattle Seahawks, where the Titans suffered a 24-30 loss. At this point, Titans fans have almost become used to the tough results, as the team has struggled throughout the 2025-26 campaign.
However, fans are eager to see the 22-year-old rookie receiver back in action, and a positive sign arrived this week as he returned to the practice field as a limited participant.
The Titans’ wide receiver situation remains thin. Even after missing a game, Ayomanor still has the second-most receiving yards on the team. He has 334 yards and is averaging 11.9 yards per catch. Surprisingly, the team’s leading receiver isn’t even a wideout, as tight end Chig Okonkwo leads the squad with 377 yards.
In Ayomanor’s absence, Chimere Dike stepped in and performed well. However, now that Ayomanor seems healthier, and if he can participate fully in Friday’s practice, the Titans would definitely like to bring him back to the field against the Jaguars in Week 13. This seems to be the likely outcome.
How Do the Titans Match Up With Jacksonville?
The Tennessee Titans (1-10) and Jacksonville Jaguars (7-4) will meet this Sunday at 1 p.m. ET on Nov. 30 at Nissan Stadium. The Jaguars have a strong shot at the playoffs, while the Titans are already out of the race.
It has been a tough season for Tennessee, winning only one game so far, a narrow 22-21 victory over the Arizona Cardinals on Nov. 6. The team is still searching for its first home win of the season.
Fans are hopeful the Titans will deliver a stronger performance this week with Ayomanor’s likely return. Additionally, Xavier Woods, who has been sidelined with a hamstring injury since Oct. 26 during the 38-14 loss to the Indianapolis Colts, could also be in Nissan Stadium.
This season hasn’t been a memorable one, neither for the Titans nor for Ayomanor, who is currently ranking No. 76 with a 66.3 score on PFSN’s WR Impact. But still, he is one of the core weapons in the Titans’ offense. While a win can’t revive the playoff hopes for Tennessee, it will be interesting to see if he and his teammates can finally bring home the first win at Nissan Stadium.
