Chargers' Kristian Fulton: Inks one-year deal with Bolts
Rotowire
Fulton (hamstring) agreed to terms Friday on a one-year contract with Los Angeles, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
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 via either free agency or the 2024 NFL Draft.

Titans' Kristian Fulton: Won't play Week 14
Rotowire
Fulton (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Monday night's game against the Dolphins, Ben Arthur of FoxSports.com reports.
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.

Titans' Kristian Fulton: Won't play in Week 2
Rotowire
Fulton (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 2 game against the Chargers, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
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 Tennessee starting safety Amani Hooker (concussion) also ruled out. The Titans' cornerback trio will likely be Sean Murphy-Bunting, Roger McCreary and Elijah Molden.

Titans' Kristian Fulton: Questionable to return
Rotowire
Fulton exited Sunday's game versus the Saints with a hamstring injury, Joe Rexrode of The Athletic reports.
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

Titans' Kristian Fulton: Holding own against Hopkins
Rotowire
Fulton has regularly matched up against DeAndre Hopkins during training camp and has held his own, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
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.

Titans' Kristian Fulton: Questionable to play Week 18
Rotowire
Fulton (groin) is considered questionable to play ahead of Saturday's regular-season finale against Jacksonville.
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 during Week 18 prep. 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.

Titans' Kristian Fulton: Sidelined again for Week 17
Rotowire
Fulton (groin) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Cowboys.
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 options at the position Thursday night against Dallas.

Titans' Kristian Fulton: Ruled out for Week 14
Rotowire
Fulton (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
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.

Titans' Kristian Fulton: Ready to go Thursday
Rotowire
Fulton (hamstring) is listed as active for Thursday's game against the Packers, John Glennon of SI.com reports.
After missing Tennessee's win over Denver on Sunday due to a hamstring issue, Fulton will 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 Thursday's contest, the 24-year-old is in line to start opposite of Roger McCreary in Week 11.

Titans' Kristian Fulton: Not playing Sunday
Rotowire
Fulton (hamstring) is inactive Sunday against the Broncos.
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.

Titans' Kristian Fulton: Game status up in the air
Rotowire
Fulton (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos.
Fulton collected four tackles and two passes defended while playing every defensive snap during last Sunday's overtime loss to the Chiefs, but 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 on 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.

Titans' Kristian Fulton: Cleared for Week 3
Rotowire
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.
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.

Titans' Kristian Fulton: Out for Week 2
Rotowire
Fulton (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's contest against the Bills, Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports.
Fulton played every defensive snap 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.

Titans' Kristian Fulton: Absent from injury report
Rotowire
Fulton (undisclosed) wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury reports, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
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.

Titans' Kristian Fulton: Activated from IR
Rotowire
Fulton (knee) was activated from injured reserve Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
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.

Titans' Kristian Fulton: Activation deadline looms
Rotowire
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.
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.

Titans' Kristian Fulton: Unable to play Sunday
Rotowire
Fulton (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Bengals, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
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.

Titans' Kristian Fulton: Out with knee injury
Rotowire
Fulton (knee) will be sidelined for a few weeks, Paul Kuharsky of 104.5 The Zone Nashville reports.
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.
