Kristian Fulton Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Colts vs Chiefs game on Sunday with our National Football League injury report.Oct 19, 2025
Remains inactive
Fulton (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Raiders.
ANALYSIS
Fulton was sidelined by an ankle injury early in the season, but he didn't appear on the injury report at all leading up to Sunday's game against the Raiders. He appears to have slipped behind Josh Williams on the depth chart due to special teams usage.
Oct 8, 2025
Practices in full Wednesday
Fulton (ankle) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
ANALYSIS
An ankle injury has prevented Fulton from playing in each of the Chiefs' last three games. The 2020 second-rounder appears to be past the injury given his ability to practice in full Wednesday, and that puts him on track to play against the Lions on Sunday.
Oct 6, 2025
No go for MNF
Fulton (ankle) is inactive for Monday night's contest against the Jaguars, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Fulton will be forced to miss a third consecutive game, as he continues to nurse an ankle injury that he suffered in the team's Week 2 loss to the Eagles. In his absence, Nohl Williams and Josh Williams will once again see an increase in workload at cornerback versus Jacksonville.
Oct 4, 2025
Questionable for MNF
Fulton (ankle) is questionable for Monday night's game against the Jaguars.
ANALYSIS
Fulton was limited in practice all week and has missed Kansas City's past two contests. If Fulton is unable to return for Week 5, Nohl Williams and Josh Williams could again see elevated roles on defense against the Jaguars.
Oct 2, 2025
Limited to open week
Fulton (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Fulton has been sidelined for Kansas City's last two games due to an ankle injury that he picked up in a Week 2 loss to Philadelphia. Fulton would put himself in a good spot to return against the Jaguars in Monday if he were to practice in full Thursday or Friday. The 2020 second-rounder has just one solo tackle through the first two games of his Chiefs career.
Sep 28, 2025
Won't play versus Baltimore
Fulton (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Fulton missed last week's win over the Giants due to an ankle injury. He was a limited participant during practice during Week 4, but he'll ultimately miss his second game in a row. In his absence, Nohl Williams and Josh Williams should serve as the Chiefs' top reserve cornerbacks versus Baltimore. Fulton's next chance to play is Week 5 versus the Jaguars on Monday, Oct. 6.
Sep 26, 2025
Could return Sunday
Fulton (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Ravens.
ANALYSIS
Fulton missed the Chiefs' Week 3 win over the Giants due to an ankle injury sustained the game prior, but he's got a chance to play Sunday after practicing in a limited fashion throughout the week. If Fulton is able to play in Week 4, he'd likely serve as one of Kansas City's top reserve corners. If not, Josh Williams is projected to see increased defensive work.
Sep 24, 2025
Back at practice Wednesday
Fulton (ankle) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Fulton did not practice last week before sitting out against the Giants with an ankle injury, but it now appears he could be on track to return to game action soon. He'll probably need to participate fully in practice Thursday or Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.
Sep 19, 2025
Won't play in Week 3
Fulton (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Giants.
ANALYSIS
After sustaining an ankle injury in Kansas City's Week 2 loss to the Eagles, Fulton was unable to practice all week. The LSU product played 18 defensive snaps over the team's first two contests, recording one total tackle. In his absence, Nohl Williams and Josh Williams will likely serve as the Chiefs' top reserve outside cornerbacks Sunday.
Sep 14, 2025
Officially done for day
Fulton (ankle) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Eagles.
ANALYSIS
Fulton was tagged as doubtful to return after suffering an ankle injury in the first quarter, and the 2020 second-rounder will be sidelined for the rest of Sunday's contest. Nohl Williams will work in rotation with starters Jaylen Watson and Trent McDuffie due to Fulton's injury.
Sep 14, 2025
Unlikely to return vs. Philadelphia
Fulton is doubtful to return to Sunday's game against the Eagles due to an ankle injury.
ANALYSIS
Fulton picked up the injury in the first quarter and he is unlikely to return to the field Sunday. Nohl Williams should see a slight uptick in rotational snaps at corner in Fulton's absence.
Aug 24, 2025
Tallies five stops
Fulton recorded five tackles, a tackle for loss and a pass defensed in Friday's 29-27 preseason loss to the Bears.
ANALYSIS
Fulton dealt with a knee injury early in camp but returned to practice Aug. 7. He suited up in his first preseason game Friday and played 46 defensive snaps. It's unclear whether his significant playing time was to knock off rust ahead of a Week 1 matchup against the Chargers, or if it signifies Fulton losing ground on the cornerback depth chart.
Aug 7, 2025
Back at practice
Fulton (knee) was reinstated from the active/PUP list Thursday and was a limited participant in practice, Pete Grathoff of The Kansas City Star reports.
ANALYSIS
Fulton started training camp on the PUP list due to a knee injury, but he was able to pass his physical and cleared to practice Thursday, though he was limited to individual drills. The sixth-year corner out of LSU is a longshot to play in Saturday's preseason opener against the Cardinals, but he could ramp up his activity enough to be available for the Chiefs' second exhibition game against the Seahawks on Aug. 15. Fulton signed a two-year, $20 million contract with the Chiefs in March and is slated to start at outside corner opposite Trent McDuffie.
Aug 2, 2025
Dealing with knee injury
Fulton (knee) did not participate in Saturday's training camp practice, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Fulton opened training camp on the active/PUP list with what was reported at the time as an undisclosed injury. He'll be eligible to return to practice and play in the preseason at any point once he's fully recovered from his knee injury. Fulton is expected to compete for a starting role at corner, but in his absence, Nohl Williams, Chamarri Conner and Jaylen Watson will continue to get more reps with the first-team defense.
Jul 20, 2025
Placed on PUP list
Fulton (undisclosed) was placed on the active/PUP list by the Chiefs on Sunday, Charles Goldman of AtoZSports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Fulton will open training camp on the sidelines due to an undisclosed injury, but he's eligible to return to practice and play at any point in the preseason. Then 26-year-old signed with Kansas City in the offseason after posting a career-high 51 total tackles (39 solo), while also adding seven passes defensed, including an interception, over 15 regular-season games with the Chargers in 2024. Once healthy, Fulton is expected to compete for a starting cornerback role with the Chiefs in 2025.
Mar 11, 2025
Signs with Kansas City
Fulton agreed to a two-year, $20 million deal with the Chiefs on Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Networkreports.
ANALYSIS
Fulton rejuvenated his career in his lone year with the Chargers last season turning into arguably one of Los Angeles' best secondary pieces. The 26-year-old then parlayed that into a significant deal with the Chiefs that includes $15 million guaranteed with an upside to $20.5 million. Fulton has played as a boundary corner essentially his entire career, but with Trent McDuffie and Jaylen Watson already firmly set in their spots, it's possible the new addition could be utilized all around Kansas City's secondary.
Jan 22, 2025
Records 51 tackles in 2024
Fulton finished the 2024 regular season with 51 tackles (39 solo) and seven pass defenses (including one interception) across 15 games.
ANALYSIS
Fulton was Tennessee's second-round selection in the 2020 NFL Draft. He spent the first four years of his NFL career with the Titans, but he opted to sign a one-year, $3.13 million contract with the Chargers in March of 2024. Fulton started in every game he played, but he could be on his way out of Los Angeles if the Chargers opt to go with rookies Tarheeb Still and Cam Hart (shoulder) as the starting outside corners for the 2025 campaign.
Jan 7, 2025
No longer under the weather
Fulton (illness) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Fulton was forced to leave Sunday's game against the Raiders due to an illness and did not return. His ability to practice in full Tuesday indicates he's no longer feeling under the weather and should play in Saturday's wild-card round game against the Texans. Fulton finished his first regular season with the Chargers with a career-high 51 tackles (39 solo) and seven pass defenses (including one interception) across 15 games.
Jan 5, 2025
Exits game due to illness
Fulton (illness) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Raiders.
ANALYSIS
Fulton appears to be under the weather and it's unclear whether he'll be able to return to Sunday's game. Tarheeb Still will likely step in at outside corner opposite Cam Hart for as long as Fulton is sidelined.
Nov 15, 2024
Ready to rock
Fulton (hamstring) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bengals.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old missed each of the Chargers' last two games due to a hamstring injury, but Friday's full practice suggests he's moved past the issue in time to face his former LSU teammate and superstar wide receiver, Ja'Marr Chase, on Sunday. Expect Fulton to start opposite Cam Hart in the Chargers' secondary in Week 11.
Nov 13, 2024
Opens week limited
Fulton (hamstring) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Despite his limited participation, Fulton told reporters after Wednesday's practice that he feels 100 percent and plans to play against the Bengals on Sunday, per Kris Rhim of ESPN.com. Fulton has been sidelined with a hamstring injury for the Chargers' last two regular-season games, but his return for Week 11 would be timely as he would face off against Bengals' superstar wideout and former LSU teammate Ja'Marr Chase. Through seven
Nov 10, 2024
Inactive for Week 10
Fulton (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Fulton will miss a second straight game due to a hamstring injury he picked up in Week 8. His next chance to suit up will be Week 11 against Cincinnati on Sunday, Nov. 17. Tarheeb Still, Dicaprio Bootle and Elijah Molden are candidates to see more snaps at corner opposite starter Cam Hart.
Nov 8, 2024
Unlikely to play Week 10
Fulton (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against Tennessee.
ANALYSIS
Fulton was unable to practice this week, but he has not yet been ruled out Sunday against the Titans, who selected him in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft. Tarheeb Still and Elijah Molden will likely continue to see increased snaps in the Chargers' secondary while Fulton is sidelined.
Nov 6, 2024
Misses Wednesday's practice
Fulton (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Fulton was sidelined for the Chargers' Week 9 win over the Browns after sustaining a hamstring injury the week prior, and Wednesday's DNP is likely an indication that he's in jeopardy of missing even more time. If the LSU product can't upgrade to at least limited participation Thursday or Friday, Tarheeb Still and Dicaprio Bootle could see increased work in the Chargers' secondary.
Nov 1, 2024
Out for Sunday
Fulton (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Browns.
ANALYSIS
Fulton was unable to practice all week after sustaining a hamstring injury in the Chargers' Week 8 win over the Saints, so it's no surprise that he'll be sidelined Sunday. Expect Dicaprio Bootle to start opposite Cam Hart as part of the Chargers' top outside cornerback duo in Fulton's stead.
Oct 30, 2024
Opens week as DNP
Fulton (hamstring) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Fulton exited the Chargers' Week 8 win over the Saints after sustaining a hamstring injury in the third quarter, so missing Wednesday's practice comes as no surprise. The 26-year-old cornerback likely needs to upgrade to at least limited participation by Friday in order to have a chance at suiting up in Week 9's matchup against the Browns. If he's unable to do so, expect Dicaprio Bootle to see increased work with Los Angeles' first-team secondary.
Oct 27, 2024
Leaves game with hamstring injury
Fulton (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Saints, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Fulton injured his hamstring in the third quarter of Sunday's game. While he's sidelined, Dicaprio Bootle and Elijah Molden are candidates to see more snaps with the first-team defense at corner opposite starter Cam Hart.
Oct 21, 2024
Active against Arizona
Fulton (hamstring) is active for Monday night's game against the Cardinals.
ANALYSIS
Fulton was injured last Sunday against Denver but was able to make enough progress to get the green light for this one. With Deane Leonard (hamstring) and Asante Samuel (shoulder) recently placed on injured reserve, Fulton, Elijah Molden, Ja'Sir Taylor and Cam Hart should see the bulk of the cornerback work.
Oct 19, 2024
Questionable for Week 7
Fulton (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against Arizona.
ANALYSIS
Fulton is in jeopardy of missing his first game of the season due to a hamstring injury he sustained in Week 6 against the Broncos. He didn't practice Thursday and Friday, and he could be a true game-time decision. Ja'Sir Taylor (leg) is also listed as questionable and Deane Leonard (hamstring) has been ruled out, meaning Cam Hart and Elijah Molden are the only healthy corners heading into Monday's game.
Oct 18, 2024
DNP on Friday
Fulton (hamstring) did not practice Friday.
ANALYSIS
Fulton injured his hamstring during the Chargers' Week 6 win over the Broncos. He has yet to practice since the injury, and unless he's able to participate in some capacity Saturday, he's in jeopardy of being ruled out ahead of Monday's game against Arizona. Backup corner Deane Leonard (hamstring) and nickel corner Ja'Sir Taylor (leg) are both dealing with injuries ahead of Monday's game, and a vulnerable Chargers' secondary could open up the field for quarterback Kyler Murray and the Cardinals' passing attack.
Oct 13, 2024
Injures hamstring Sunday
Fulton suffered a hamstring injury during Sunday's contest at Denver.
ANALYSIS
At the time of his departure in the third quarter, Fulton had one solo tackle to his name. With Ja'Sir Taylor (leg) inactive, Deane Leonard (hamstring) ruled out of Sunday's game, and now Fulton banged-up, Cam Hart and Dicaprio Bootle are the only healthy and active Chargers cornerbacks.
Oct 13, 2024
Set to play
Fulton (knee) is active Sunday against the Broncos.
ANALYSIS
Fulton was able to close out the week with back-to-back full practices but was still marked questionable. Ultimately, he'll be able to suit up and should start at corner opposite Cam Hart in the Chargers' secondary.
Oct 11, 2024
Gets questionable designation
Fulton (knee) is questionable for Sunday's outing against Denver.
ANALYSIS
Fulton looked like he'd be healthy after practicing in full on Thursday and Friday, but he now has a questionable tag ahead of the Chargers' bye week return. The 5-foot-11 cornerback hasn't missed a game yet this year, with 15 tackles (11 solo), three passes defended and one interception.
Oct 10, 2024
Logs full practice Thursday
Fulton (knee) was able to practice in full Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Fulton sat out Wednesday's practice due to a knee injury, but the issue appears to have been minor. The cornerback's return to a full practice Thursday suggests that he's in no danger of missing Sunday's Week 6 clash against the Broncos. Fulton has logged 100 percent of the Chargers' defensive snaps in all but one of the team's four contests so far this season.
Oct 9, 2024
Doesn't practice Wednesday
Fulton (knee) did not participate in Wednesday's practice session.
ANALYSIS
The Chargers are coming off a bye in Week 5, so it's not clear whether Fulton injured his knee in Week 4 against the Chiefs or in the interim. Regardless, the 2020 second-round pick will have two more chances to return to the practice field ahead of Sunday's AFC West clash against the Broncos. Fulton has played 100 percent of the Chargers' defensive snaps in three of four regular-season games, and on the year he's accumulated 15 tackles (11 solo) and three passes defended (one interception).
Mar 22, 2024
Inks one-year deal with Bolts
Fulton (hamstring) agreed to terms Friday on a one-year contract with Los Angeles, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Fulton ended the 2023 season on IR due to a quadriceps injury, but he's presumably fully healthy and ready to get up to speed with the Chargers' defensive scheme as soon as offseason workouts begin. The 25-year-old could be an option to start across from Asante Samuel at cornerback for Los Angeles, but the team will likely be most comfortable with Fulton in a depth role after making further additions to the secondary, either in free agency or the 2024 NFL Draft.
Dec 13, 2023
Moves to IR
Fulton (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Fulton will now miss the next four weeks, which will essentially end his season early. The 25-year-old will end his 2023 campaign with 11 games played, 46 tackles (37 solo) and five passes defended. Roger McCreary and Eric Garror will be candidates to see extra work for Tennessee in the final weeks of their season.
Dec 9, 2023
Won't play Week 14
Fulton (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Monday night's game against the Dolphins, Ben Arthur of FoxSports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The 25-year-old cornerback was held out of practice all week, so it's no surprise that he'll be inactive Monday night. Fulton has appeared in 12 games for the Titans this season, recording 46 total tackles and five pass deflections. With the fourth-year pro missing time, expect Roger McCreary and Eric Garror to see increased work in Tennessee's secondary.
Dec 6, 2023
Could miss time
Fulton (hamstring) will not practice Wednesday and could be out for a while, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Fulton suffered the injury in Sunday's loss to the Colts and underwent an MRI on Monday. It would appear the fourth-year pro should be considered closer to doubtful for Monday's game against the Dolphins, but he still has three more days to get back on the practice field and increase his chances of suiting up for the Week 14 matchup.
Dec 4, 2023
Set for MRI
Fulton (hamstring) will undergo an MRI on Monday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Fulton dealt with a hamstring injury earlier in the season, and it appears to have returned at some point during Sunday's loss to the Colts. His potential to play next Monday against the Dolphins will likely be clearer once the team returns to practice in the coming days.
Sep 20, 2023
Full participant in practice
Fulton (hamstring) was a full participant in Tennessee's practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Fulton seems to have recovered from a hamstring injury that he suffered during the season opener that kept him out of last week's game as well. The 25-year-old should return to the starting lineup against the Browns this week and should help strengthen Tennessee's defense right away.
Sep 15, 2023
Won't play in Week 2
Fulton (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 2 game against the Chargers, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Fulton was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday but evidently isn't healthy enough to suit up against Los Angeles. It's a boost to Justin Herbert and the Chargers' passing game, especially with starting safety Amani Hooker (concussion) also ruled out. The Titans' cornerback trio will likely be Sean Murphy-Bunting, Roger McCreary, and Elijah Molden.
Sep 13, 2023
Limited Wednesday
Fulton (hamstring) will be limited in Wednesday's practice, Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Fulton left Week 1's loss to the Saints early with a hamstring injury, and he only has two more chances to get back on the practice field before Sunday's game against the Chargers. If Fulton misses time, undrafted rookie Anthony Kendall could see an expanded role behind Sean Murphy-Bunting and Roger McCreary.
Sep 10, 2023
Questionable to return
Fulton exited Sunday's game versus the Saints with a hamstring injury, Joe Rexrode of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Fulton has dealt with persistent hamstring injuries over the past two seasons, and it appears this issue flared back up during the first half Sunday. The 25-year-old logged two solo tackles before exiting versus New Orleans. With Tre Avery (hamstring) already inactive, Fulton's absence will leave Tennessee with three available cornerbacks between Sean Murphy-Bunting, Roger McCreary and undrafted rookie Anthony Kendall
Aug 4, 2023
Holding own against Hopkins
Fulton has regularly matched up against DeAndre Hopkins during training camp and has held his own, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Fulton broke up two passes intended for Hopkins during practice Friday, continuing a consistent battle during training camp. He'll be counted on to lead a young Titans' secondary as he enters the final year of his rookie contract. Health has been a primary issue preventing Fulton from truly breaking out, as he has yet to play in more than 13 games in a season.
Jan 7, 2023
Good to go Saturday
Fulton (groin) has been ruled active for Saturday's game against the Jaguars.
ANALYSIS
Fulton has missed the last four games while dealing with a groin injury, though he'll return heading into this win-or-go-home Week 18 contest. The 24-year-old should reprise his starting cornerback role opposite Roger McCreary.
Jan 5, 2023
Questionable to play Week 18
Fulton (groin) is considered questionable to play ahead of Saturday's regular-season finale against Jacksonville.
ANALYSIS
Fulton has not suited up since suffering a groin injury during the Week 13 loss to Philadelphia, though he managed to log three straight limited practices for the first time Week 18. The third-year cornerback has recorded 43 tackles, five passes defended and an interception over 10 games this season, and he'll likely reprise a starting role if he returns to the field Saturday versus Jacksonville.
Jan 4, 2023
Logs limited practice Wednesday
Fulton (groin) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Fulton has missed four straight games due to a groin injury, but he's logged back-to-back limited practices to start Week 18 prep. He'll have one more chance to submit a full session for Tennessee needs to make a decision on his status for Saturday's game against the Jaguars.
Dec 29, 2022
Sidelined again for Week 17
Fulton (groin) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Cowboys.
ANALYSIS
Fulton will now miss his fourth straight matchup as a result of the groin injury he sustained versus the Eagles in Week 13. With four fellow Tennessee cornerbacks currently on injured reserve, Roger McCreary, Tre Avery and John Reid should serve as the Titans' top three coverage guys Thursday night against Dallas.
Dec 28, 2022
Officially doubtful for Week 17
Fulton (groin) is doubtful for Thursday's matchup against Dallas, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Fulton will likely miss a fourth straight game due to a groin injury he suffered in Week 13 against the Eagles. The Titans already have four cornerbacks on IR, so if Fulton remains sidelined, Roger McCreary, Tre Avery, Greg Mabin and John Reid would be Tennessee's top cornerbacks against Dak Prescott and the Cowboys.
Dec 22, 2022
Sitting out again Week 16
Titans coach Mike Vrabel ruled out Fulton (groin) for Saturday's game against the Texans, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Fulton will miss his third game in a row due to a groin injury sustained against the Eagles in Week 13. With fellow cornerback Terrance Mitchell (hamstring) also ruled out Week 16, Tennessee could be left with only three healthy cornerbacks on the active roster if Tre Avery (concussion) does not manage to clear protocols ahead of Saturday's game.
Dec 16, 2022
Remains out
Fulton (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Chargers, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Fulton will miss a second straight contest due to a groin injury he suffered during the team's Week 13 loss to Philadelphia. Tre Avery (concussion) and Terrance Mitchell (hamstring) are both listed as questionable, so Tennessee's secondary may be extremely shorthanded again in Week 15.
Dec 9, 2022
Ruled out for Week 14
Fulton (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Fulton picked up a groin injury during the Week 13 loss to the Eagles and will remain sidelined for at least one contest. The Titans currently have only three healthy cornerbacks -- Roger McCreary, Terrance Mitchell and John Reid -- available for Sunday's matchup against Trevor Lawrence (toe) and the Jaguars' passing attack.
Dec 4, 2022
Exits with injury Sunday
Fulton (groin) is questionable to return against the Eagles on Sunday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Fulton sustained a groin injury at some point in the first half, though the nature of this issue is still unclear. The third-year cornerback has played nearly every defensive snap when healthy this season, logging 42 tackles, five passes defended and an interception over nine games. With Fulton sidelined, Roger McCreary, Terrance Mitchell and Tre Avery will serve as Tennessee's only available cornerbacks against Philadelphia.
Nov 27, 2022
Ready to go Sunday
Fulton (hamstring) is active Sunday against the Bengals, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Fulton missed Week 10 against the Broncos with the injury, then exited Week 11 early after aggravating it against the Packers. After closing this week with back-to-back limited practices, Fulton will take the field Sunday against the Bengals.
Nov 25, 2022
Questionable for Sunday
Fulton (hamstring) is considered questionable to play Sunday versus the Bengals, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Fulton was ruled inactive with a hamstring injury ahead of Tennessee's Week 10 win over the Broncos, and he appeared to aggravate this issue before exiting early against the Packers last Thursday. The cornerback was then sidelined during practice Wednesday, though he managed to string together back-to-back limited sessions ahead of Sunday's contest. Should Fulton ultimately fail to suit up, expect Elijah Molden and Tre Avery to step into bigger roles alongside starting cornerback Roger McCreary in Week 12.
Nov 17, 2022
Questionable to return
Fulton (hamstring) is questionable to return to Thursday's contest against the Packers, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Fulton suffered a hamstring injury during the second half of Thursday's matchup with Green Bay. Expect Tre Avery to see an increased number of snaps while the Fulton is off the field.
Nov 17, 2022
Ready to go Thursday
Fulton (hamstring) is listed as active for Thursday's game against the Packers, John Glennon of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
After Fulton had missed Tennessee's win over Denver on Sunday due to a hamstring issue, he's now slated to make a return for Thursday's clash in Green Bay. With fellow cornerbacks Caleb Farley (back), Elijah Molden (groin) and Chris Jackson (undisclosed) each ruled out for tonight's contest, the 24-year-old is in line to start opposite of Roger McCreary in Week 11.
Nov 15, 2022
Should play Thursday
Fulton (hamstring) practiced fully Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
After Fulton missed the Titans' Week 10 matchup versus Denver with a hamstring issue, he was a full participant in Tuesday's practice and is now in line to play against Green Bay on Thursday. The 24-year-old is expected to operate in his usual role as one of the team's starting cornerbacks.
Nov 13, 2022
Not playing Sunday
Fulton (hamstring) is inactive Sunday against the Broncos.
ANALYSIS
Fulton was able to log a limited practice Friday after being a DNP for Thursday's session. However, the third-year pro is still not well enough to take the field Sunday. The absence of the starting corner will certainly be a blow to the team's secondary, and likely lead to increased opportunity for Tre Avery and Terrance Mitchell.
Nov 11, 2022
Game status up in the air
Fulton (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos.
ANALYSIS
Fulton collected four tackles and two passes defended while playing every defensive snap during last Sunday's overtime loss to the Chiefs, though he popped up as a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a hamstring injury. The third-year cornerback then missed practice Thursday before returning in a limited fashion during Friday's sessions, so it will be worth monitoring his status in Sunday's final active/inactive list. While Fulton's ability to work his way back into practice is encouraging, it's possible that Terrance Mitchell and Tre Avery may be called upon to play bigger roles against Denver.
Sep 23, 2022
Cleared for Week 3
Fulton (hamstring) was a full participant at practice Friday and carries no injury designation ahead of Sunday's game versus Las Vegas, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
A hamstring injury kept Fulton out of Week 2 and limited his practice participation Wednesday and Thursday, but it appears he has now fully recovered. He played 100 percent of the Titans' defensive snaps in Week 1 and should return to a similar level of participation Sunday versus a Raiders offense featuring Davante Adams and Darren Waller.
Sep 17, 2022
Out for Week 2
Fulton (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's contest against the Bills, Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Fulton played every defensive snaps for the Titans in the season opener but was unable to practice all week and will be sidelined for Week 2. The extent of the issue remains unclear, but the 2020 second-round pick missed multiple games last year with a hamstring injury as well, making this a concerning development. In Fulton's absence, Caleb Farley, Tre Avery and Josh Kalu are all candidates for increased roles.
Sep 15, 2022
Not practicing
Fulton (hamstring) did not practice Thursday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Fulton managed to play 100 percent of the team's snaps on defense in Week 1. Considering he missed multiple games with a hamstring issue last season, it's possible this is a precautionary move by the Titans. His practice status for Friday will likely be key in helping determine his availability Sunday against the Bills.
Nov 13, 2021
Back on roster before Week 10
Fulton (hamstring) was activated from IR on Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Fulton practiced with the team all week and is expected to return to action Sunday against the Saints. The starting cornerback had been sidelined since sustaining the hamstring injury back in Week 5. He played more than 90 percent of the Titans' defensive snaps in each of the season's first four games while healthy.
Nov 10, 2021
Returning to practice
The Titans have designated Fulton (hamstring) for return from injured reserve, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS

Lands on injured reserve
Fulton (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Monday, John Glennon of BroadwaySportsMedia.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Fulton was already ruled out for Monday's matchup with the Bills, and he'll now be sidelined for at least two additional contests. Elijah Molden and Caleb Farley should have increased roles at cornerback in his absence.

Ruled out for Week 6
Fulton (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Bills, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Fulton injured his hamstring in the Titans' Week 5 win over the Jaguars and was unable to this week. The loss of the 23-year-old could not have come at a worse time, as the Titans host the Bills and Chiefs over the next two games. With Fulton out, Tennessee will likely rely on Elijah Molden and Chris Jackson to fill in at cornerback.

Ruled out against Jaguars
Fulton has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Jaguars with a hamstring injury, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Fulton has played a key role in the Titans' secondary early this season, logging a snap rate of over 90 percent in every game. Elijah Molden and Chris Jackson figure to see increased roles for the remainder of the contest.

Getting comfortable with role
Fulton has picked up his quality of play in recent practices, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
After playing 202 defensive snaps as a rookie in 2020, Fulton will be counted on to fill a bigger role in his second season. The Titans had significant turnover in the secondary this offseason, with Fulton now projecting to be the team's third corner. Though he may have gotten off to a slow start at training camp, Fulton has been making more plays on the ball in recent practices. If that strong play continues, he should solidify his role heading into the regular season.

Absent from injury report
Fulton (undisclosed) wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury reports, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
It's unclear why Fulton missed last week's loss to the Packers, but it doesn't appear that issue will keep him out of the lineup for the season finale against Houston. The rookie second-rounder hasn't played since Week 7. With Adoree' Jackson (knee) back in the swing of things and trade-acquisition Desmond King covering the slot, Fulton may not have a consistent role in Tennessee's defense moving forward.
Dec 27, 2020
Inactive Sunday night
Fulton (undisclosed) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Packers.
ANALYSIS
The reason for Fulton's absence remains unclear, given that he wasn't listed on Tennessee's injury report heading into the weekend. In his stead, Adoree' Jackson and Desmond King will likely handle increased roles alongside top cornerback Malcolm Butler in Green Bay.
Dec 27, 2020
Unlikely to play Sunday
Fulton (undisclosed) isn't expected to play Sunday against the Packers, Paul Kuharsky of 104.5 The Zone Nashville reports.
ANALYSIS
Fulton wasn't present on Tennessee's injury report, and it's unclear why he's expected to be sidelined. Adoree' Jackson and Desmond King should operate alongside top cornerback Malcolm Butler on Sunday.
Dec 15, 2020
Activated from IR
Fulton (knee) was activated from injured reserve Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Fulton has practiced for three weeks and should return to the lineup for this Sunday's game against the Lions. The rookie second-rounder could start at cornerback immediately, but that depends heavily on whether Adoree' Jackson (knee) plays or not.
Dec 14, 2020
Activation deadline looms
Fulton (knee) will need to be activated by Tuesday to avoid being shut down for the year, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Tuesday marks three weeks since Fulton returned to practice, and if he isn't activated, he'll remain on IR for the rest of the year. Coach Mike Vrabel said the team will have to make a decision, hinting that the rookie's recovery hasn't gone as planned. Even if he is activated, Fulton may not be ready to face the Lions in Week 15.
Nov 24, 2020
Practice window opened
Fulton (knee) was designated to return from injured reserve Tuesday, opening the 21-day window to be activated, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Fulton has endured the minimum three-week stint on injured reserve and is eligible to play this Sunday against the Colts. The rookie second-round pick will be evaluated through the practice week before the team decides whether to activate him or not. Fulton could handle a decent workload upon return if Adoree' Jackson (knee) is inactive again.
Oct 31, 2020
Shifts to IR
The Titans placed Fulton (knee) on injured reserve Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Fulton was already ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Bengals, and he'll be required to miss two more outings before he can return from IR. The rookie underwent an MRI earlier in the week, but the team still hasn't revealed the nature of Fulton's injury. With Adoree' Jackson (knee) still on IR, Chris Jackson should handle an expanded role once again behind starters Johnathan Joseph and Malcolm Butler.

Unable to play Sunday
Fulton (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Bengals, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Fulton underwent an MRI earlier this week to determine the severity of the knee injury he picked up in this past Sunday's loss to the Steelers, and the rookie second-rounder is expected to miss more than one game. His status is very questionable for Week 9 against the Bears as well. For the time being, Chris Jackson will operate in an expanded role unless Adoree' Jackson (knee) is activated from IR, in which case the latter will be an immediate starter.

Out with knee injury
Fulton (knee) will be sidelined for a few weeks, Paul Kuharsky of 104.5 The Zone Nashville reports.
ANALYSIS
The rookie second-round pick started the past two games but was limited to 37 defensive snaps against Pittsburgh due to the knee issue. Fulton was set to undergo an MRI, though the specifics of the diagnosis remain unclear. A decision has yet to be made on whether a trip to injured reserve is necessary, which would sideline him for at least three games.
Oct 26, 2020
MRI on tap
Fulton will have an MRI on Monday to determine the severity of a knee injury he suffered in Sunday's loss to the Steelers, Paul Kuharsky of 104.5 The Zone Nashville reports.
ANALYSIS
Fulton has started the last two games for the Titans, and the rookie second-rounder has been decent in coverage all season, allowing a 103.7 passer rating and one touchdown over five contests. The LSU product could miss time depending on what the MRI reveals. If he's indeed forced to miss time, it won't be a major knock on the defense, as Adoree' Jackson (knee) has been designated to return from IR and likely would've demoted Fulton to a situational role anyway.
Oct 25, 2020
Dealing with knee injury
Fulton (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup against the Steelers, Paul Kuharsky of 104.5 The Zone Nashville reports.
ANALYSIS
After being deemed inactive for Tennessee's Week 5 matchup against the Bills, Fulton retook the field last Sunday against Houston and garnered 79 percent of the defensive workload. With Fulton having suffered an in-game injury against Pittsburgh, Chris Jackson and Tye Smith will be in line for snaps at cornerback as long as the second-round rookie is unable to return to action.
Oct 13, 2020
Unavailable against Bills
Fulton (coach's decision) is inactive for Tuesday's game versus the Bills, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Fulton has been activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list, but since he hasn't practiced in nearly two weeks, the rookie second-rounder will sit out Tuesday. Chris Jackson and Tye Smith are expected to rotate in behind starters Johnathan Joseph and Malcolm Butler.

Lands on reserve/COVID-19 list
The Titans placed Fulton (illness) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday, Erik Bacharach of The Tennessean reports.
ANALYSIS
Fulton is the fifth Titans player to be placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list due to the team's recent outbreak. The team is not allowed to disclose whether Fulton is in quarantine or has tested positive for the virus.

Records first career interception
Fulton recorded three tackles and an interception in Week 2 against Jacksonville.
ANALYSIS
Fulton was in the right place at the right time to record his first career interception, catching a tipped pass off the hands of Collin Johnson. He showed athleticism afterwards, turning upfield and returning the pick for 44-yards. Fulton will be relied upon heavily with Adoree Jackson (knee) on injured reserve and Jonathan Joseph (leg) also banged up.
