Coach Jeff Fisher announced that CB Nick Harper (arm) will rejoin the starting lineup when he returns to game action either this week or next.
Rod Hood has played well in his place, but the Titans are placing more emphasis on the past three years than the past three games. With nickel back Vincent Fuller now healthy, Hood will be pushed into a special teams role.
Justin Gage (back) is still not practicing for the Titans.
Gage will be held out at least another week. Kenny Britt will start against the Texans, but he's not a recommended fantasy play with the offense revolving around Chris Johnson right now.
Titans CB Nick Harper has been medically cleared to return from his broken forearm, but still isn't playing in games.
This isn't the way the 35-year-old planned his contract season. Harper, 35, did not play well before his injury and has been replaced in the starting lineup by in-season pickup Roderick Hood. Harper won't be back in 2010.
Titans RT David Stewart (hamstring) returned to practice on Friday and is expected to play on Sunday against the Bills.
"I guess so. We'll see. I'm good now," Stewart said. He is an impressive run blocker and Chris Johnson will be benefited even more against the Bills' league-worst rush defense.
LenDale White (illness, probable) returned to a full practice Friday.
White will play against the Bills, but it's still unclear how the Titans will use him on offense going forward. After Chris Johnson commandeered the red-zone work last week, White has to be sat even in TD-heavy leagues.
Titans owner Bud Adams was fined $250,000 by Commissioner Roger Goodell for his obscene gestures towards the Bills during and after Sunday's game.
Adams was seen giving the "double-bird" from his luxury suite during Sunday's win, then he went on to the field after the game and did it again. Goodell was actually in Adams' suite until he left to go sit with some fans, which was before Adams' outburst. Goodell is emphasizing a family-friendly environment at NFL stadiums.
Vince Young completed 17-of-25 passes for 210 yards, one touchdown, and one interception against the Bills in Week 10. He added 29 yards on five scrambles.
Kerry Collins got a free pass from his coaches as well as the media, but it's no coincidence that Titans receivers are suddenly making plays. Showing surprising accuracy, Young has a 65.7 completion rate and 7.6 yards per attempt through three starts. He'll continue his strong argument for the 2010 starting job at Houston next week.
