The Tennessee Titans faced the Miami Dolphins without key players, including Pro Bowl defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons, who was sidelined due to an elbow injury. Simmons had not practiced all week and was listed as doubtful.

The Dolphins were also missing significant contributors, such as starting linebacker David Long Jr. with a hamstring issue and running back Raheem Mostert, who has missed three consecutive games due to a chest injury.

Additional absences for Miami included linebacker Mohamed Kamara and quarterback Skylar Thompson, who suffered a rib injury. Tyler 'Snoop' Huntley stepped in as the starting quarterback for the Dolphins.
