News

  • Out for season finale

    Key (hand) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: With Key out, Jaylen Harrell and Ali Gaye should get some extra reps off the edge for the Titans in the Week 18 finale. It will be Key's first missed game of the season, and he'll close out the 2024 campaign with 42 tackles (24 solo), including 11 TFLs and a career-best 6.5 sacks, 15 QB hits, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery across 16 contests. Key has one year left on a three-year, $21 million deal that carries a $9.3 million cap hit for 2025.

  • Logs full practice Thursday

    Key (back) was listed as a full participant on Thursday's injury report, John Glennon of NashvillePost.com reports.

    Analysis: Key was listed as a DNP on Wednesday's practice report due to a back injury, but it doesn't appear to be a lingering issue as he was listed as a full participant for Thursday's session. In the seven regular-season games since the Titans' Week 5 bye, Key has logged 20 tackles (15 solo), including 5.0 sacks, and two forced fumbles.

  • Logs DNP on Wednesday

    Key didn't practice Wednesday due to a back injury, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Key appears to have picked up this back injury in the Titans' Week 12 win over the Texans despite playing 83 percent of the team's defensive snaps and recording two total tackles. The veteran pass rusher almost certainly needs to upgrade to at least limited practice participation Thursday or Friday in order to suit up for Sunday's contest in Washington.

  • Logs fifth sack of season

    Key finished Sunday's 23-13 loss to Minnesota with five solo tackles, including 1.0 sacks.

    Analysis: Key and Kenneth Murray were the only two Titans to sack Sam Darnold on Sunday, with Key's taking place midway through the fourth quarter for an eight-yard loss. Key is 1.5 sacks shy from matching his career best with the 49ers in 2022. Through 10 regular-season games, Key has logged 26 tackles (20 solo), including 5.0 sacks, one pass defense, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery.

  • Returns to practice Thursday

    Key (back) was a full participant during Thursday's practice, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Key was held out of Wednesday's practice due to a back injury, but that doesn't appear to be an issue as he was able to participate in Thursday's session without restrictions. Key has logged 4.0 sacks through nine regular-season games, which is second most on the Titans behind Harold Landry (5.0).

  • Dealing with back injury

    Key (back) did not practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Key finished this past Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Chargers with two solo tackles, but he appears to have picked up a back injury in the process. He'll have two more chances this week to practice and avoid an injury designation heading into Sunday's game against the Vikings. In the five regular-season games since the Titans' Week 5 bye, Key has logged 13 tackles (nine solo), including 4.0 sacks, and two forced fumbles.

  • Forces critical turnover vs. Pats

    Key logged two solo tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and one forced fumble during Sunday's 20-17 overtime win over New England.

    Analysis: Key made a pivotal play during the Titans' win Sunday. He sacked Drake Maye for a seven-yard loss early in the fourth quarter, stripping the ball in the process that was picked up by Jeffery Simmons. That eventually led to a six-yard touchdown pass from Mason Rudolph to Nick Westbrook-Ikhine five plays later to give the Titans a one-touchdown lead. All 4.0 of Key's sacks during the regular season have come over the Titans' last three games.

  • Logs two more sacks vs. Detroit

    Key recorded six total tackles (three solo), including 2.0 sacks, in Sunday's 52-14 loss to the Lions.

    Analysis: The 28-year-old was one of three Titans to get after the quarterback in Sunday's blowout loss, taking down Jared Goff twice in the first quarter. Key has begun to heat up after a slow start to his 2024 campaign, having now recorded 17 total tackles, including 3.0 sacks, defended one pass and forced one fumble through Tennessee's first seven games. He's expected to continue starting opposite Harold Landry as part of the Titans' top edge-rushing duo for the remainder of the season.

  • Gets first sack of season

    Key recorded two tackles (two solo) including 1.0 sacks during Sunday's 34-10 loss at Buffalo.

    Analysis: It took until Week 7, but Key was finally able to put a notch in the sack column in what was otherwise a dismal day for the Titans' defense. Because Tennessee is so often playing from behind, Key hasn't gotten as many opportunities to rush the passer up to this point in 2024 as in seasons past.

  • Past hamstring issue

    Key (hamstring) was left off Tennessee's injury report Wednesday ahead of Sunday's Week 1 game against the Bears, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Key tweaked his hamstring toward the end of August, and it appears he's already moved past the issue. The veteran linebacker had the best year of his career with the Titans in 2023, recording 101 total tackles, including 6.0 sacks, and defending two passes across 17 regular-season games. He's expected to line up opposite Harold Landry as the duo headlines Tennessee's pass-rush unit in 2024.

  • Tweaks hamstring

    Key is dealing with a minor hamstring issue, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Per Wyatt, the team hopes that Key will be back in action next week. Key, who coach Brian Callahan said has solidified himself as a three-down linebacker with a solid showing in camp, reportedly recently won his appeal to overturn a six-game suspension under the NFL's policy against performance-enhancing substances, according to The Athletic. Key is projected to man a starting outside linebacker slot for the Titans opposite Harold Landry.

  • Facing six-game suspension

    Key is facing a six-game suspension for violating the league's rules against performance-enhancing drugs, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports.

    Analysis: It's not clear whether Key will appeal the suspension, but if it holds up, he won't be eligible to return until Week 8 against the Lions. The 2018 third-round pick out of LSU played in all 17 regular-season games for the Titans in 2023, finishing the year with 30 tackles (17 solo), including 6.0 sacks, two passes defended and two forced fumbles. If Key is suspended, Rashad Weaver and Caleb Murphy will compete for the second starting edge rusher spot opposite Harold Landry.

  • Posts sack in Week 16 loss

    Key recorded four tackles (three solo), including one sack, and forced a fumble in Sunday's loss to Seattle.

    Analysis: Key brought down Geno Smith and forced a fumble on Seattle's first offensive series of the contest, though the Seahawks maintained possession. The sack gave Key a total of 3.5 over his past five contests -- prior to that span, he had gone six consecutive games without logging any sacks. The veteran linebacker is just a half-sack away from tying the career-high mark he set two years ago while with San Francisco.

  • Logs sack in win

    Key recorded two total tackles (both solo), including one tackle for loss and one sack in Monday night's 28-27 win over the Titans.

    Analysis: The sixth-year pro was one of three Titans to get to Tua Tagovailoa on Monday night, as he was sacked a total of five times. Key is on pace to have one of, if not the, best seasons of his career through 13 games, tallying 22 total tackles, including three tackles for loss and 5.0 sacks. Tennessee ranks just outside the top 10 in the NFL in sacks this season (37.0 total), and Key has been a large part of that success.

  • Productive in Tennessee debut

    Key recorded four tackles (one solo), including 1.5 sacks, and one pass defended in Sunday's 16-15 loss to the Saints.

    Analysis: Key has played on several one-year deals throughout his career, but the Titans gave him a more substantial commitment this offseason. He responded well in his debut with the team, showing ability as a pass rusher, run stopper and even in coverage. Key should continue to serve as the Titans' primary right outside linebacker this season, and he has a strong chance to set career-best marks in nearly every statistical category.

  • Heading to Tennessee

    Key agreed to a three-year, $21 million contract with the Titans on Wednesday, Jordan Schultz of TheScore.com reports.

    Analysis: Key has spent time with the Raiders, 49ers and most recently the Jaguars during his five-year NFL career. He recorded 24 tackles (13 solo), 4.5 sacks and two pass breakups across 17 games with Jacksonville in 2022. In Tennessee, Key is expected to be a key part of the team's edge-rushing group, especially after the team let go Bud Dupree earlier this month.

  • Inks with Jacksonville

    The Jaguars signed Key to a one-year, $7 million contract Wednesday.

    Analysis: Key managed a career-best 6.5-sack campaign with the 49ers last season, and the Jaguars will now hope he can shore up a position of weakness. To date, Key has looked most comfortable in a rotational defensive role, which keeps him off the fantasy radar in most IDP fantasy formats.

  • Returns to game

    Key (head) has returned to Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Rams, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Key was being evaluated for a head injury late in the first half, but he was able to return to the field to begin the second half. He should continue to play a role behind Arik Armstead as the 49ers attempt to advance to the Super Bowl.

  • Being evaluated for head injury

    Key is being evaluated for a head injury during Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Rams.

    Analysis: Key was removed from Sunday's matchup in the second quarter, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be able to return. If Key remains sidelined, Charles Omenihu could see his role increase.

  • Thriving in rotational role

    Key tallied a sack across his 24 snaps on defense Sunday in the 49ers' 31-13 win over the Falcons.

    Analysis: Nick Bosa (15 sacks) continues to lead the San Francisco pass rush, but the emergence of Key in recent weeks has resulted in the absence of Dee Ford (back) going largely unnoticed. Despite not playing any more than 50 percent of the 49ers' defensive snaps in any game this season while serving in a rotational role, Key has amassed five sacks, with all coming in the last seven weeks. After failing to meet expectations with the Raiders as a third-round pick in 2018, Key appears to have untapped…read more

  • Gets chance with San Francisco

    The 49ers signed Key to a one-year contract Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Key will likely fill a depth or rotational role along the 49ers' defensive line, while also providing the team with some upside if he can take a step forward in his development after entering the NFL with high expectations as a third-round pick in 2018. He never reached his potential during his three seasons with the Raiders, registering three sacks over 37 career appearances.

  • Done in Las Vegas

    The Raiders waived Key on Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Key never managed to emerge as a consistent option since joining the Raiders in the third round of the 2018 NFL Draft, and rather than take another shot in the final year of his rookie deal, the team has decided to simply part ways. Still just looking ahead to his age-25 season, Key should get another chance to continue his development in the NFL, but the odds that he ever puts it together as a real fantasy option in IDP formats are looking increasingly slim.

  • Returns to active roster

    Key (undisclosed) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The 24-year-old never tested positive for the virus but was considered a high-risk close contact of Clelin Ferrell. Key should continue to fill a rotational role on the defensive line for Las Vegas.

  • Placed on COVID-19 list

    The Raiders placed Key on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Key was considered a high-risk close contact after Clelin Ferrell tested positive for the virus Tuesday. Key will be eligible to play in Sunday's game against the Chiefs as long as he continues to test negative this week leading up to the game.

  • Good to go

    Key (foot) will be available for Sunday's matchup with the Broncos, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Although Key was limited at practice all week, it looks like the Raiders were just erring on the side of caution. Barring any setbacks, look for him to take on his usual role providing depth on the defensive line.

  • Out again

    Key (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup with the Chargers, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Key's absence will mark his second straight due to a foot injury. The depth defensive lineman will now focus on his recovery and a potential return in Week 11.

  • Won't play in Cleveland

    Key (foot) is inactive Week 8 against the Browns.

    Analysis: Key has appeared in each game this season as a reserve defensive lineman, but did not see the practice field this week and will effectively take a seat. Chris Smith and Carl Nassib would be candidates to see additional snaps in his stead.

  • Placed on IR

    The Raiders placed Key (foot) on injured reserve Thursday.

    Analysis: Key suffered a broken foot during Week 9's win over the Lions. He visited Dr. Robert Anderson to receive a second opinion on the injury, but it appears as though the second-year pro received no alternatives but to prematurely end his 2019 campaign. Key will turn his focus toward making a full recovery for the 2020 season. Quentin Poling has been promoted from the practice squad to occupy Key's former spot on the 53-man roster.

  • Getting second opinion

    Key will get a second opinion from Dr. Robert Anderson on the foot injury suffered in Sunday's win over the Lions, Grant Gordon of NFL.com reports.

    Analysis: Key, who broke his foot and is now facing a potential trip to the injured reserve, will receive a second opinion before accepting the fate of a shortened season. Key was not a starter along the Raiders' defensive line in 2019, but he recorded a sack in each of the last two contests and averaged just over 30 defensive snaps over his last four games. Benson Mayowa could see additional work at defensive end with fellow backup Josh Mauro (groin) also nursing an injury.

  • Broken foot confirmed

    Key suffered a fractured foot during Sunday's win over the Lions, Jerry McDonald of the Oakland Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Key appears set to miss significant time, and he could be in danger of missing the rest of the season depending on his recovery timeline. Benson Mayowa stands to play an expanded role on defense as long as Key is unable to go.

  • May have broken foot

    Key is feared to have suffered a fractured foot during Sunday's win over the Lions and will likely undergo X-rays, Scott Bair of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Analysis: Key recorded his second sack of the season in the victory over Detroit, but it now looks as though he could be in for an extended absence. At the very least, the 23-year-old is unlikely to play Thursday against the Chargers.
