Mason Kinsey Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Titans vs 49ers game on Sunday with our National Football League injury report.Nov 30, 2025
Not playing Sunday
Kinsey (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup with the Jaguars.
ANALYSIS
The wide receiver has been active for five games this season, and he's played mostly on special teams when he's been in there, though he did get some opportunities on offense the last two weeks with Chimere Dike (chest) and Elic Ayomanor (hamstring) nursing injuries. At the same time, Kinsey has never made more than two catches in a season in a pro career dating back to 2021.
Nov 16, 2025
Makes first catch of 2025
Kinsey recorded one reception on three targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Texans.
ANALYSIS
Kinsey was active for the fourth time this season and for the fourth consecutive game. He had been used almost entirely on special teams in his first three contests, though he gained a role in the Titans' offense with both Calvin Ridley (leg) and Chimere Dike (chest) sidelined. Kinsey has never recorded more than two catches in any of his four prior seasons as a pro, but he could have a chance to change that in the next several weeks.
Oct 24, 2025
Promoted to active roster
The Titans signed Kinsey off their practice squad Friday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The 27-year-old's promotion to the active roster provides the Titans with much-needed depth at wide receiver, as Calvin Ridley (hamstring) and Bryce Oliver (knee) are both out for Sunday's matchup against the Colts. Expect Kinsey to contribute on both offense and special teams during the Week 8 divisional matchup.
Oct 20, 2025
Returns to practice squad
The Titans reverted Kinsey to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
ANALYSIS
Kinsey was elevated to the active roster ahead of this past Sunday's loss to New England and played four of 53 snaps on offense along with 22 snaps on special teams. Kinsey didn't get into the box score on offense but did notch one tackle in the return game. Whether Kinsey gets another look on gameday in Week 8 versus Indianapolis could depend on whether Calvin Ridley (hamstring) and/or Bryce Oliver (knee) is ready to return to action.
Oct 18, 2025
Elevated to face Patriots
The Titans have elevated Kinsey from the practice squad to the active roster for Sunday's matchup against New England, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Kinsey will provide Tennessee with extra depth at the wide receiver position, with both Calvin Ridley (hamstring) and Bryce Oliver (knee) unavailable Week 7. After Sunday's home game, Kinsey will be slated to revert to the Titans' practice squad.
Aug 27, 2025
Remaining in Tennessee
The Titans signed Kinsey to the practice squad Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
There wasn't enough room on the Titans' 53-man roster for Kinsey, but the fifth-year wideout will remain in the organization on the team's practice squad. He has appeared in 15 regular-season games (including six in 2024) since signing with the Titans as an undrafted free agent in May of 2020.
Aug 27, 2025
Fails to make Titans roster
Kinsey was waived Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Kinsey appeared in six regular-season games for Tennessee last season but was bumped off the 53-man roster after the Titans selected two wide receivers in the 2025 NFL Draft. He's a candidate to land on the team's practice squad, assuming Kinsey isn't claimed on waivers.
Feb 18, 2025
Finishes season with two catches
Kinsey appeared in six regular-season games for the Titans in 2024, securing two catches (on two targets) for 17 yards.
ANALYSIS
Kinsey continued to have a role in the Titans' organization for the fourth straight season, although his workload has remained minimal. The Berry College product's two receptions and 17 yards were career highs though. The 26-year-old remains under contract with the team for the 2025 campaign, and will likely have an opportunity to carve out a larger role next season.
Dec 7, 2024
Signed to Titans' active roster
Tennessee signed Kinsey from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Kinsey's lone outing this season came in Week 8 against the Lions, though he did not register a target across eight games. Kinsey gives the Titans additional depth at wide receiver in the wake of Treylon Burks (knee) being ruled out for the rest of the 2024 season.
Oct 31, 2024
Resurfaces on practice squad
Tennessee signed Kinsey to the practice squad Thursday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The Titans waived Kinsey on Tuesday, but it appears the team's plan was always to bring the 28-year-old back for a spot on the practice squad. He played eight snaps on offense Week 8 versus Detroit but wasn't targeted.
Oct 30, 2024
Gets let go
Kinsey was waived by the Titans on Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Kinsey was signed to the team's active roster Saturday, ahead of their Week 8 loss to the Lions. The 26-year-old saw eight snaps on offense and was never targeted. Although his time in Tennessee is done for now, it's possible the Berry College product could return to the team's practice squad, where he was before the promotion.
Oct 26, 2024
Elevated by Tennessee
The Titans elevated Kinsey from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, John Glennon of NashvillePost.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Kinsey will help Tennessee fill out depth in the wide receiver room following the trade of DeAndre Hopkins to Kansas City. He suited up for six regular-season games with the Titans in 2023, but only logged one reception for six yards in that span.
Aug 28, 2024
Back with Titans
The Titans signed Kinsey to the practice squad Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Kinsey has spent portions of each of the last three seasons on the Titans' active roster, though he has only two career receptions. With the team adding both Calvin Ridley and Tyler Boyd this offseason, Kinsey will continue to have a long path to getting on the field.
Aug 27, 2024
Let go by Tennessee
The Titans waived Kinsey on Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Kinsey caught four passes on nine targets for 58 yards over the Titans' first two preseason games, but he missed Sunday's game against the Saints due to a broken pinky finger. He started 2023 on Tennessee's practice squad and ended up being signed to the active roster in December. Kinsey could be on a similar path this season once teams start filling out their practice squads.
Aug 17, 2024
Breaks finger Saturday
Kinsey suffered a broken pinky finger in Saturday's preseason victory versus Seattle, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Despite the injury, Kinsey returned to the contest and plans to practice next week. The fourth-year wideout is on the roster bubble, so avoiding missed time could be critical to his chance of landing a depth role among the Titans' receiver corps. Kinsey finished Saturday's win with two catches on five targets for 29 yards.
Jan 14, 2024
Role remains minimal
Kinsey recorded one reception on one target for six yards across six games for the Titans in 2023.
ANALYSIS
Kinsey completed his third season in the NFL, all of which have come with Tennessee. He failed to make the roster out of training camp but subsequently bounced between the active roster and practice squad. Overall, he played 25 offensive snaps and 21 on special teams, and he's likely to be in a battle for a roster spot once again in 2024 -- whether in Tennessee or elsewhere.
Dec 17, 2023
Signed to active roster
The Titans signed Kinsey to the active roster Saturday, Ben Arthur of FoxSports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
This marks the third time this season Kinsey has been promoted to the active roster and first since Week 3. He played three total offensive snaps and eight on special teams in his first two games and figures to see a similar depth role Sunday versus the Texans.
Oct 4, 2023
Rejoins Titans
Kinsey signed with Tennessee's practice squad Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Kinsey was waived by the team Monday while he was on the 53-man roster, but the move was more of a procedural matter, as the Berry College product returns to the organization. If Treylon Burks (knee) were to remain out Sunday against the Colts, Kinsey may find himself on the active roster once again.
Oct 2, 2023
Let go by Tennessee
Kinsey was waived by the Titans on Monday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official website reports.
ANALYSIS
Kinsey was elevated to Tennessee's active roster prior to Sunday's 27-3 win over the Bengals, joining the Titans for a second game in a row. Over those two contests, the wide receiver recorded a combined 50 punt-return yards while playing eight special-teams snaps. Kinsey will now be available to be claimed by the other 31 teams in the league, though his most likely next destination is the Titans' practice squad.
Sep 22, 2023
Signed off practice squad
Kinsey was signed off the Titans' practice squad Friday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official website reports.
ANALYSIS
Kinsey will provide depth at receiver and presumably chip in on special teams. He suited up for three games with the Titans during his first two years with the squad and tallied one catch for three yards.
Aug 30, 2023
Joins Tennessee's practice squad
Kinsey signed with the Titans' practice squad Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Kinsey was waived by the Titans on Tuesday, but he'll join Tennessee's practice squad once again Wednesday. He's been elevated from the team's practice squad three times over the last two seasons.
Aug 29, 2023
Cut by Titans
Kinsey was waived by the Titans on Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official website reports.
ANALYSIS
Kinsey has primarily spent the first two years of his career on the Titans' practice squad, but he has suited up for three games during that time. Overall, he has one reception for three yards. It looks like he is trending for a similar role in 2023, but it remains to be seen if the team will offer him a practice squad spot again.
Jan 10, 2023
Inks new deal with Tennessee
Kinsey signed a reserve/future contract with the Titans on Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Kinsey has spent the past two seasons with Tennessee's practice squad and was elevated for two games during the 2022 campaign. The third-year wideout ultimately recorded one three-yard reception over 13 offensive snaps this season, marking the first catch of his career. Kinsey will look to carve out a bigger role in the team's under-stocked receiving corps this offseason.
Dec 19, 2022
Back on Tennessee's practice squad
Kinsey reverted to the Titans' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
ANALYSIS
Kinsey wasn't very impressive after being elevated in Week 15 against the Chargers. He netted zero yards on two punt returns, including one which he muffed but recovered. It wouldn't be surprising to see the Titans go in another direction in that special teams role moving forward.
Dec 17, 2022
Will be available at Chargers
Tennessee elevated Kinsey from its practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game at the Chargers, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
With Treylon Burks (concussion) ruled out for Sunday, the Titans saw fit to bring Kinsey on board to provide some depth at wide receiver. He caught his only target for three yards in his lone appearance versus Indianapolis back in Week 7.
Oct 24, 2022
Returns to practice squad
Kinsey reverted to Titans' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
ANALYSIS
Kinsey was promoted to Tennessee's active roster for the first time since re-joining the team's practice squad in early September. The 5-foot-10 wideout caught his lone target for three yards while playing 13 of the team's 59 offensive snaps with Kyle Phillips (hamstring) sidelined in Sunday's win over the Colts. Kinsey is now eligible for two more elevations from the Titans' practice squad this season.
Oct 22, 2022
Moved up to 53-man roster
Tennessee elevated Kinsey from the practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against Indianapolis, John Glennon of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Kinsey's elevation may be an indication that rookie wide receiver Kyle Philips (hamstring/questionable) won't be able to play. This is the first time this season Kinsey will be on the roster for gameday, though he did see action in one contest last year, playing three offensive and two special-teams snaps.
Sep 2, 2022
Signs practice squad deal
The Titans signed Kinsey to their practice squad Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Kinsey returns to the Titans on a practice squad deal after being waived ahead of Tuesday's 53-man roster deadline. The 24-year-old wideout made his NFL debut last season, totaling five snaps (three offensive) during his only appearance -- Week 7 against Kansas City.
Aug 30, 2022
Waived by Tennessee
The Titans waived Kinsey on Tuesday, Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Kinsey made his NFL debut with the Titans last year, playing five total snaps (three offensive). Per McCormick, Kinsey is a likely candidate to join Tennessee's practice squad if he clears waivers.
Jan 24, 2022
Sticking with Titans
The Titans signed Kinsey to a reserve/future contract Monday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Kinsey failed to make the Titans' 53-man roster to begin the 2021 campaign, and he appeared in just one game while spending most of the season on the practice squad. The 23-year-old will continue to develop with the organization during the offseason.
Oct 26, 2021
Heads back to practice squad
Kinsey reverted to the Titans' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transactions report.
ANALYSIS
Kinsey was elevated from Tennessee's practice squad in time to suit up for Week 7's blowout win over the Chiefs. In that contest, Kinsey handled three offensive snaps without a target. He also played two snaps on special teams and logged one fair catch.
Oct 23, 2021
Elevated to active roster
Kinsey was elevated from the Titans' practice squad Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Kinsey will join the active roster for the first time this season to provide depth at wide receiver. Even though Chester Rogers (groin) has been ruled out, Kinsey is unlikely to play a significant role.
Sep 2, 2021
Joins Titans' practice squad
Kinsey agreed to terms to join the Titans' practice squad Wednesday, Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Kinsey originally signed with the Titans after the 2020 NFL Draft as an undrafted free agent. Since, he also landed on the Patriots' practice squad for parts of his first professional season. Kinsey signed a reserve/future contract with the Titans this offseason, and will now look for a chance to make his NFL debut with the team at some point this season.
Aug 31, 2021
Waived by Tennessee
Kinsey was waived by the Titans on Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Kinsey's best shot to make the final roster was through special teams. The 5-foot-11 wide receiver could carve out a practice-squad role.
Jan 21, 2021
Links with Titans
The Titans signed Kinsey to a reserve/future contract Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Kinsey spent time on New England's practice squad during the regular season, and he'll now get a chance to develop with the Titans. The wideout out of Division III Berry College is still vying for a chance to make his NFL debut.
Nov 18, 2020
Cut by Patriots
The Patriots cut Kinsey from the practice squad Wednesday, Doug Kyed of NESN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Wednesday marked the second time this season that Kinsey was cut by the Patriots' practice squad, as he'll likely have the opportunity to return to again this year. The undrafted rookie out of Berry College will look to latch on elsewhere to add depth at receiver.
Oct 19, 2020
Back with practice squad
The Patriots signed Kinsey to the practice squad Monday.
ANALYSIS
The Patriots cut Kinsey from the practice squad Oct. 2, but he's back with the team following news that they let Devin Ross go. Kinsey will add depth at wide receiver but likely won't get promoted unless there's an injury.
Oct 2, 2020
Cut from practice squad
The Patriots cut Kinsey from the practice squad Thursday, Doug Kyed of NESN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The undrafted rookie out of Berry College spent most of September on New England's practice squad, but he's now been replaced by veteran offensive lineman Jordan Roos.
Sep 8, 2020
Joins Patriots' practice squad
New England signed Kinsey to the practice squad Sunday, Doug Kyed of NESN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Kinsey spent the offseason with the Titans, but he didn't manage to crack the team's regular-season roster. The undrafted rookie out of Berry College, who made plays as both a receiver and return man during training camp, will now get a chance to make an impact with the Patriots organization.
Aug 29, 2020
Getting work as punt returner
Kinsey was spotted fielding punts during several practice periods Friday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Kinsey, an undrafted free agent, was noted as a standout earlier in camp, regularly making plays as a receiver. In particular, he's shown rapport with backup quarterback candidate Logan Woodside. However, Friday it was work on the special teams unit that was notable, as he fielded punts alongside Adam Humphries, Rashard Davis and Kalif Raymond. While Kinsey remains a longshot for the roster, he may stick on the practice squad and make special teams appearances as needed throughout the season.
