Will Deandre Hopkins Play in Week 1?

Will DeAndre Hopkins play in Week 1?

The former Clemson star receiver could suit up and see action for the Tennessee Titans when they open the 2024 season on Sunday against the Chicago Bears.

Hopkins returned to practice on Wednesday after sustaining a knee injury during a practice in late July, with initial reports indicating he’d miss four to six weeks.

“He looks like Hop,” Titans head coach Brian Callahan said of Hopkins, via ESPN . “He’s been really communicative about how he feels and where his body’s at and making sure he’s getting to work to be ready to play. Everything he’s done has been exactly what we’re looking for in terms of communication and process, so that’s been positive.”

According to ESPN, Callahan said Hopkins could be able to play in the Titans’ season opener Sunday, though Callahan didn’t say for certain whether he will be available.

A five-time All-Pro and five-time Pro Bowler, Hopkins signed a two-year deal with the Titans last offseason and concluded his first campaign in Tennessee with the seventh 1,000-plus-yard season of his career (75 catches for 1,057 yards and seven touchdowns).

Hopkins, 32, has amassed 928 catches for 12,355 yards and 78 touchdowns in his 11-year pro career with the Houston Texans, Arizona Cardinals and Titans since being selected by the Texans in the first round of the 2013 NFL Draft.
