Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (illness) and running back Tyjae Spears (concussion) missed practice Wednesday.

Titans head coach Bill Callahan also said Wednesday that cornerback L’Jarius Snead (quad) has been ruled out for a sixth straight game.

The Titans (2-8) are preparing for their game at the Houston Texans (7-4) on Sunday.

Ridley, 29, had four catches for 58 yards last week, giving him 36 catches for 541 yards and three touchdowns on the season.

Spears was injured late in Sunday’s loss to the Minnesota Vikings. He’ll have to be cleared from the concussion protocol to play against the Texans.

Spears, 23, rushed three times for 0 yards and caught 2 passes for eight yards on Sunday. In seven games this season, he has 161 yards one touchdown on 43 carries and 17 receptions for 88 tards.

Callahan also said that tackle Leroy Watson (back) is not expected back this week and that the team will open the practice window for cornerback Chido Awuzie (groin) next week.

Sneed, 27, hasn’t played since an Oct. 13 loss to visiting Indianapolis. He has 23 tackles in five games (all starts) this season.

He is in his first season with the Titans after a March trade from the Chiefs. Kansas City had picked him in the fourth round of the 2020 draft out of Louisiana Tech.
