Won't return Week 17
Titans head coach Brian Callahan said Tuesday that Dowell (knee) won't be activated from the PUP list in advance of Sunday's game in Jacksonville, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site.
Analysis: Dowell has spent the entire season on the reserve/PUP list after tearing the ACL and meniscus in his right knee in Week 17 of the 2023 campaign and undergoing surgery. The wideout was cleared to resume practicing Dec. 16, but he was a limited participant throughout the past week. Callahan said that Dowell still has an outside chance of playing in Week 18 against the Texans, but the 22-year-old will almost certainly need to resume practicing in full before being activated.

Won't return in Week 16
Dowell (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Colts.
Analysis: Dowell practiced in a limited fashion throughout the week but will remain on the reserve/PUP list and miss the Titans' divisional matchup Sunday. The UT Martin product has yet to suit up this season after tearing his ACL in December of 2023, but he was designated to return from the reserve/PUP list Monday, suggesting a return to the field is in the near future.

Takes next step
Dowell (knee) was designated to return from the reserve/PUP list Monday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Dowell now has a 21-day window to practice with the team, a timeframe that carries through to the end of the regular season. However, Dowell could be activated beforehand and still see game action before the conclusion of the campaign. The UT Martin product suffered a torn ACL in December of last year and has been out of action since, so it may take him some time to get back up to speed.

Still not ready
Dowell (knee) will remain on the reserve/PUP list for Week 8, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Dowell suffered a ruptured ACL in January and has been on the PUP list since the Titans opened training camp in July. It's not clear how much longer he'll still be on the sidelines, but once he's designated to return, he'll still have a 21-day window to practice with the team before being added to the active roster.

Moves to reserve/PUP list
Dowell (knee) was placed on the reserve/PUP list by the Titans on Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: The wide receiver will have to miss the team's first four regular season games but can return in October. Dowell caught one pass for three yards on 50 offensive snaps in 2023, his rookie season. The 2023 seventh-round pick will try to compete for a depth role upon his return.

Opens camp on PUP
The Titans placed Dowell (knee) on the active/PUP list Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: Dowell was placed on the Titans' injured reserve list in January after rupturing the ACL and meniscus in his right knee in Week 17, so it's no surprise that he will begin training camp on the PUP list. The 2023 seventh-round pick out of UT Martin played in 10 regular-season games in his rookie season, registering one catch for three yards as well as three tackles across 139 special teams snaps.

Bound for IR
Dowell (knee) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Dowell sustained a torn ACL and meniscus in his right knee during the Titans' Week 17 loss, so it's no surprise that he'll end his season on IR. The rookie wide receiver out of UT Martin finishes his 2023 campaign with one catch for three yards while also logging three total tackles on 139 special teams snaps.

Sustains ruptured ACL
Dowell sustained a ruptured ACL and a ruptured meniscus in his right knee during Sunday's 26-3 loss at Houston, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports.
Analysis: Dowell obviously won't be ready to play again until next season, but whether he'll be available come Week 1 of next year is still up in the air. His absence could open up additional opportunities in the slot for Kyle Philips in Week 18 .

Out with knee injury
Dowell (knee) is out for the rest of Sunday's game at Houston, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Dowell sustained a knee injury during the first half of Sunday's contest that was apparently serious enough to keep him out for the rest of the game. Mason Kinsey could see a few extra snaps in the slot as a result.

Light role on offense once again
Dowell played two of the Titans' 71 snaps on offense and went without a target in Monday's 28-27 win over the Dolphins.
Analysis: Meanwhile, Dowell was on the field for 19 special-teams snaps, and he'll likely to continue to bring most of his value to the Titans on their coverage units rather than at receiver. The rookie seventh-round pick has been targeted just once across 31 snaps on offense this season.

Healthy scratch in Week 8
Dowell (coach's decision) will be inactive for Sunday's game against the Falcons.
Analysis: Dowell will head to the bench with Treylon Burks (knee) making his return in Week 8. The wide receiver will now wait for his next chance to appear in a game with Tennessee.

Plays just one snap on offense
Dowell played 15 total snaps -- 14 on special teams and one on offense -- in Sunday's 24-16 loss to the Ravens in London.
Analysis: Inactive for each of the first three games of his career, Dowell has now dressed in three straight contests, but he has yet to carve out much of a role on offense. The rookie seventh-round pick has played just 16 offensive snaps over the last three weeks, drawing just one target during that span. Dowell could find himself back on the inactive list coming out of the Titans' Week 7 bye if Treylon Burks is able to play after missing each of the past three contests with a knee injury.
