Jerome Baker a Healthy Scratch

Titans LB Jerome Baker is inactive for today's game against the Bengals. He carried no injury designation into the weekend, so that indicates the veteran is a healthy scratch.

Baker missed last week with a neck injury but put in full practices this week. His deactivation -- along with that of LB Otis Reese -- appears to position Luke Gifford as the No. 2 LB next to Kenneth Murray, who is active after missing last week with a hamstring injury.

Rookie Cedric Gray and James Williams could also factor in.

Murray's OK to play, though he managed just one practice this week. Gifford's playing time is tough to know ahead of the game.

Baker is fine to drop in IDP leagues. This marks the third team to dump him within a year.
